Back in the late ‘70s we got our Star Wars fix any way we could get it- no matter the source. So if sitting through an episode of the Donnie and Marie variety show on September 23rd, 1977 was the only way I could again see Chewbacca, the droids and stormtroopers than so be it.

Moby Dick was one half of a one season show, sharing screen time with the caveman superhero The Mighty Mightor. After its 1967 run it was pretty rare to come across on TV.

The Saturday afternoon line-up on #metvtoons is fantastic! Watching now - 1967’s MOBY DICK & THE MIGHTY MIGHTOR. Might even break out the Crayolas for this one.

My latest addition to my ReelSwap.net online inventory of my physical media collection is a classic from 1988. Check out what I have inventoried so far of my retro media collection on ReelSwap reelswap.net/users/retroart…

Saturday morning commercials from 1985 - were pop and retro pop music infused.

Added this DVD to my collection inventory on ReelSwap.net - apparently I’m the first one to do so. Again.

Using ReelSwap.net to inventory my physical media. First item added - a vintage VHS rental copy of ISHTAR because, well, why not? I uploaded pix of all the sides of the case to the site and it generates a 3D object of the case. Neat! #physicalmedia #vhs #reelswap

This is what the 1985 Superbowl halftime performance was. We looked up.

@happybell30 Yes, MicroMan looks very much like 1970s movie star, George Hamilton.

@88DreadGT Joe Sedelmaier was the man who made this commercial and a slew of others through the 1970s and 1980s. He passed away recently. The fast-talking man in this commercial and the Micro-Machine commercials was John Moschitta Jr. He’s still with us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mosc…

@RetroArtBlog Remember this commercial like it was yesterday! I also loved his Micro Machines commercials even though I had no desire to buy them

@50swesterns Gotcha - I see it’s from the pressbook.

@RetroArtBlog Have scans of pressbooks, stills, ads and other stuff socked away for my blogs, commentaries and book research.

Hey kids, how's about the Radar Men From The Moon (1952) coloring page?

These BK Kid’s Meal toys had no right to be this awesome.

@FFFGIJoe @Charlton_Hero Love that full-page ad and made a canvas print of it.

Late in the G.I. JOE ADVENTURE TEAM toy line, Hasbro began adding more characters to turn it into more of a super hero team. They first added the Atomic Man figure, then 50 years ago they introduced a real super hero - Bulletman, The Human Bullet! #GIJoe
