Sci- Fi all the way Stargate and Stargate-Alantis are great shows but my number 1 show Battle Star Galactic. I had to chim in on this because Star Wars is like the creator the beginning of it all hmmm,"the father to Sci-Fi". Oh I forgot Startrek, well Star Wars helped. |

Skip, you bugger!! I thought I was the only one into Space 1999. I had the lunchbox as a school boy. You are all geeks!! The problems I have with the boxed Star Wars Trilogy I have is that Lucas went and added some CGI crap that wasn't there the first go round. Buggers the works imho. For me 2001 still is the king!! Anybody into the Hayyrhausen films? |

I still have it. I even had the space ship when I was a kid. It was pretty cool. I had all the GI JOE stuff, Star wars, BSG, 6 million$ man. No Star Trek toys though, dont know if they made any. I also have some of my SW figurines, the X wing and landspeeder. I had so many cool toys when I ws a kid but when my parents got divorced it ws pretty ugly and my dad destroyed most of my stuff. I also had about every big Tonka truck. Its all gone.:(  Last edited on Sat Apr 12th, 2008 11:01 am by scottran |

That's the one!! Totally cool. I had a ton of GI Joe stuff along with Big Jim and the $6 million man. My parents got rid of it all for next to nothing at a rummage sale.:shock: for some reason they had the foresight to hold onto the Tonkas and Buudy-L's which my kids and nieces and nephews play with when visiting the Grandparents. It's great you got to preserve some of it! |

I loved that Evil Kenievil motorcycle. Here's another one, How about the Alien figure that had the jaws that came out and bit. GI Joe and the 6million dollar man got killed by that a few times .Last edited on Sat Apr 12th, 2008 03:03 pm by murphy j |

Oh yeah, LOVE the new Battlestar Galactica. Too bad I'm missing the second season. Or is it already over? Either way I'll have to get the dvd's to see it when I get back. Such a great, great show. I was hooked completely from the mini series that the Sci Fi Channel did. I was also a fan of the original as a kid. |

Yea, I like BSG also. Did any of you ever watch Farscape on scifi? That was a pretty good show. I also like Star Trek Enterprise. I was sad to see that end. I always did like Scott Bakula and haveing Jolene Blalok there for eye candy didnt hurt either. I am sitting here watching Empire and its such a shame that the acting and script from the new 3 suck compared to the originals. Lucas did fine direing star wars but others directed Empire and Jedi and they were much better. I think if he had others direct the new one they may have been better. Just MHO. |

Forgot about Farscape. I got hooked on that one as the storyline got more developed. I was pissed when it got cancelled, but then got all jazzed up when they brought it back for a finale. The funny thing is, it didn't get cancelled because of low ratings. In fact, they had great ratings. It got cancelled because of production costs. |

My parents made the mistake of taking me to see this in the theater. I have only the vaguest recollection. What I do remember is that I was had a fit because they told me they were taking me to a space movie and all I saw were monkeys... Funny how immediate things are when you're all of five!!  I don't remember going to another movie with my parents until about 1977!! |

I was 8 when the first Star Wars came out in theaters. I actually remembering seeing all three. I only remember seeing only a few movies when I was a kid. Herbie movies that came out when I was little, josey whales, close encounters of the third kind, SW and ET. I have vague memories of going to drive ins with my parents when I was little. One was a zombie movie shot in the 70's in Pa. I remember it was in black and white. It was done like a documentary. Dont know the name, i was probably 6 or 7. Luckily we still have a couple drive ins here. Its been a few years since we went. Lots of fun. One time I would like to be 17 in the 70's and see what it was like. My older cousins seemed to have a blast. |

I must say, I have really enjoyed this thread. A lot of GREAT shows and movies have been brought up. I've been a SciFi/Fantasy geek since junior high and still love to read and watch these type of shows. Thanks for bringing up good memories guys. Oh yeah, that includes the Drive in theater too. We still have one in Tulsa, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a registered historical landmark. It's on old Route 66. |

Yea very enjoyable thread. I did not see my first TV till I was 6 years old. My birth mother was very poor and my grandparents did not have a TV either. I remember listing to the radio. "The Shadow Knows" :D But some of the first show besides cartoons were scifi stuff and I was hooked. :cool: |

One of these days I want to take a road trip on old Route 66. Just want to take my time and if I see something interesting I want to stop. If it takes a long time to get it done then oh well. The movie "Cars" really got me yearning to do this. Just one way to get back to "The good ole days". |

I have a little am transmitter that that I play them through so I can pick them up on my antique radios. The cartoons too, When I was little Johnny Quest, The Hurculoids, Space Ghost, and then even though it wasnt a cartoon, Land of the Lost. Remember that with the Sleestacks? Cartoons today are lousy compared to the old ones imo. Wow, this is bringing back ALOT of memories. |

Scottran I can't believe you said the Herculoids! What an awesome cartoon! Yeah, I watched Spaceghost, and Johnny Quest, but I loved the Herculoids! hahahahah! Do you guys by chance remember Ultraman or Jonny Sako and his flying robot? Those and the Spiderman and Iron man cartoons were my favorite. And I know you guys wrote about it a while back but Yes I had the evil knevil motorcycle that you put in the launcher. My brother and I also had the rocket car one and we would re-enact the snake river jump down my basement stairs! Good Times! |

I think they were called Gloob and Gleeb. Some times I catch Johnny Quest on Boomerang. Was Jonny Sako a cartoon? I remember a Japaneese movie made like Godzilla. A kid would fly around with his giant robot that had a headdress like an Egyptian Pharoh. ? As far as futuristic cartoons The Jetsons was another of my favorites. Then you had the cartoons Like The Pink Panther, The Inspector, and The Aardvark. For laughs they cant be beat. Scott yourock.gif |
