I remember watching Welcome Back Cotter and thinking "this John Travolta guy is kind of funny, but he'll never make it as a serious actor."

"UP YOUR NOSE WITH A RUBBER HOSE!"

Remember Adrienne Barbeau from the TV show Maude? Built like a brick shithouse! My dad called her Adrienne Boobeau. All I know is that I wanted to have a serious bone-a-thon with her! She also looked pretty tasty in the movie "The Fog." YUMMY!

McMillan & Wife with Rock Hudson before he came out

Dark Shadows use to freak me out.
Voyage to the bottom of the sea was one of the TV shows that started in black & white then later was in color. loved that show and of course had to get the models of the sub, with the Flying Sub too.

Adrienne Barbeau was born in 1945 (same day as me in fact, except 15 years earlier). amazing rack, but not sure how they are hanging now, but she is still looking good for her age.

THis thread kicks ass! Of course I was one of the "outside until dark" kids. I think mom sometimes prayed I'd trust a stranger and disappear, bless her. I gave her my share of parental grief as a child, in fact, I thought my actual first name was "God DAMMIT!" until I was 9 years old. I had tons of plaster bestowed upon various broken bones, and when the autographs got blue (know what that means?), they got a cool paintjob! I had a particularly sweet forearm cast in black with gold leaf back in the sixth grade... We jumped our bikes off of anything that looked like it would hold us; the best was off a shed rooftop onto a downhill slope. Fear? What's that? If you didn't do what the big kids did, you were a pussy! I know, because I was the youngest of the pack. I got beat up so many times when we first moved to my neighborhood, that I finally got a cat, pissed him off but good and threw him at the biggest kid's face. I was cool after that.

I got beat up so many times when we first moved to my neighborhood, that I finally got a cat, pissed him off but good and threw him at the biggest kid's face.

We had a neighborhood bully that was always picking on the younger kids. It wasn't that he was tough, he just had his bluff in on us. One day, I came home with my lower lip all poked out and a big scuffed place on the side of my face. When my dad inquired about the injury, he came unglued when I told him that I let the bully get the best of me.

To this day, I remember his exact words. "Boy, next time you get in a scrape with that kid, you pick up anything available and you wail on his ass. You wail on his ass or I'll wail on yours!"

About a week later, we were having a whiffle ball game (remember whiffle balls?) in our front yard. Bully boy showed and started his shit. He got in one lick and then I proceeded to blister his legs and arms with that plastic bat. He finally turned tail when I left a bat print across his cheek! From that point on, the neighborhood kids had a field day whith bully boy.

Did anyone mention Baretta? Not a big hit with me. Frankly, I couldn't get past that fucking theme song "keep your eye on the sparrow!"
