Flash, my kids watched the same cartoons that you did so I thought maybe you saw Eek the Cat and the Terrible Thunderlizards too. Here is a sample YouTube - The Terrible Thunderlizards

My favourite was Bill and Scooter and their crazy inventions/play on words. I picked up the phrase, when will the hurting stop! for whenever my kids would get to rambunctious. We`d laugh hard about that!

Bob - you don`t remember Hogan`s Heros with Col. Klink!

Remember "It's Your Life" ?

Art Fleming was the original host of Jeopardy. Anyone who doesn't remember that is a young pup.

You mean there were other hosts besides Alex Trebek?

Next you're gonna tell me that Ray Combs wasn't the first host of Family Feud!

If I did acid I'd swear this was a trippy flash back. Given I've never done acid, I'll have to call this a trip my neurons are taking me on as I delve deep into my childhood. Wow, it's like,.....cobwebs getting cleared out as I think of all those shows I used to watch as a kid (game shows included,...those were real big when I was a kid,...like the Price is Right,...which is now just wrong wrong wrong with Drew Carey hosting it,....that's an insult to the show's memory).

Anyone remember that show where people dressed up in the audience as different things and would win money if they had,....like a bobbypin,....or a paper clip,....stuff like that?

Yes! You're right! I totally forgot the name of the show but yes,...Monty Hall (how could I forget a name like that?)....and what a thing to stick in my memory,...women fishing through their purses for things like hair clips, buttons, and bizarre things for cash. Clever idea though not to mention some very peculiar costumes. Yep, that's the one though! Thanks for the flash back.

I forgot all about SOAP. I liked Billy Crystal's character, he really stood out. That was pretty groundbreaking (for its time I mean). Excellent show.

WKRP -- Mostly I remember Lonni Andersons,.............uhm,......hair. (And Venus Flytrap!)

Hmmm yeah her hair... I remember other parts of her well endowed body! Though Less Nessman and Dr. Johnny Fever were my favorite characters. Though I didn't have quite the crush on Baily for a while there! LOL

The Jack LaLanne Show
Remember his white German Shepard.

Yesterday I found an old list of pushups and last on my list was the "Jack LaLanne" pushups. I did 5 then rested then did 3 more. Then I found this link showing him doing these on his finger tips at age 90. He was an amazing athlete.

Holy smokes I remember him! I also remember exercising to his show when I was a kid....he somehow made exercise feel fun to do (even in his jumpsuit and shoes that looked like ballet slippers, remember?) Those are the things I recall. And a chair. He did a lot of exercises with a chair too, real minimal stuff, just bodyweight. But you have to admit, his jumpsuit is imbedded firmly in the mind.

The funny thing is, you know I don't remember his shepherd. Was his dog on his shows or was this later on as he got older and was still promoting fitness?

The last I saw of him, he did this exercise video with Arnold. The man was in amazing shape, and to think he did it all with BW exercises too.

Jack LaLanne's white dog's name was Happy.

Jack would always close his show singing the following song: "happily we exercise, exercise, exercise, happily we exercise, it's time to say goodbye - goodbye!".

My Dad met Jack LaLanne in the early 1950s in Oakland. He lives in the San Luis Obispo-area of California. Everybody likes Jack.

Jack LaLanne is a legend and an original.

Wow. You know I literally watched him every single day (it was part of my after school line up....I was a latchkey kid and self-entertainment included TV and dirty magazines). Anyway, I can't believe that for as many times as I watched him, and exercised (or did my little girl impressions of him at any rate) that I never remembered any of that. That's the kind of stuff that usually sticks in my memories pretty well.

This makes me want to try find some vintage episodes just to see it and reboot my memory banks. He is truly an incredible man! And to think he started an exercise program when exercising wasn't really a very popular or mainstream idea yet. He broke some fresh ground and did quite well.

Okay new flashback: Remember the Galloping Gourmet? And Julia Childs ("butter is your friend!")
