Now Space Ghost didn't have a QWERTY keyboard on his forearms, so he couldn't text anyone. He just had three buttons, but he could solve any problem by pressing one of those.

F Troop. If you haven't seen it there's a Surgeon General's report describing the damage it might do to your cerebral cortex. Best not investigate further.

The era of puppet shows. Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds (the best), Stingray and one in black and white where the minions were Husky and Slim.

How about Combat!
As a kids playing army in the neighborhood every kid wanted to be Sgt. Saunders
Although my scrawny little brother always wanted to be Kirby with the BAR.

F-Troop....just watched an episode the other day. We have a broadcast station in my area called MeTV for Memorable Entertainment TV.
They run all the old TV shows from the era when I was a Kid including the original Star Trek at 9 pm on Saturday nights.

Boy I remember all these shows with fondness. I also remember playing with the G.I. Joe dolls errr I mean action figures with the kid across the street. His parents had set him up a sand box just for playing with the figures.
