We used to have like 7 channlels total - VHF and UHF. Anyone remember creature feature double feature??
Check this out - you won't remember them until you click on them and look at all the photos. It's a trip!

James Emory February 1st, 2005, 03:22 PM Great link! I remembered almost all of those shows. TV Land should have no problem with this kind of content available. Thanks Chris!
K. Forman February 1st, 2005, 03:27 PM I remember all of those, except maybe Star Blazers. Megas XLR sometimes spoofs Battle of the Planets. There was also a new Ultraman on TV a couple years ago, Ultraman Tigra.
As far as Creature Feature, I remember watching Dr Paul Bearer on Saturday afternoons, out of Tampa/St. Petersburg Fla. Same one you remember?
How about Thunderbirds?
Christopher C. Murphy February 1st, 2005, 04:07 PM Ok, this is bad...or good? I've spent the last 2 hours looking up old shows I used to watch. It took an hour to find the name of this one show....it's called, "Danger Island". It was shot in 1968 by Richard Donner (Superman director) and it had a charactor called, "Chongo". Everyone who watched it would know the phrase, "Uh oh....Chongo!"
I found that show and watched a clip...now I'm happy. :)
K. Forman February 1st, 2005, 05:12 PM Danger Island was a mini-show, found on the Banana Splits T.V. show... Now we know who the old farts are ;)
Christopher C. Murphy February 2nd, 2005, 07:44 AM Old farts?! I'm 32 yrs old, how old are you?? lol

Sid and Marty Kroft power hour, wasn't it?
K. Forman February 2nd, 2005, 11:16 AM Wasn't the power hour Sigmund and the Sea Monsters/ H.R. Puffenstuff? It does seem to me, that the Banana Splits did have two shows, one a half hour, the other a full hour. This was also quite a few years ago. I was only able to watch some of these shows when we went up North for Christmas. Our TV selection was kind of sparse back then.
But I did watch Star Trek when it first ran, as well as Lost In Space and Dark Shadows.
Keith Loh February 2nd, 2005, 11:17 AM Maybe I have it wrong.
I thought it was the third part of the Power Hour which was:
Elektra Woman and Dyna Girl, Doctor Shrinker .. and one other which I thought was Danger Island.

Keith Loh February 2nd, 2005, 11:23 AM Huh, from my internet search I read that there was a remake of "Land of the Lost", I must have been stoned when that happened!

John Hudson February 2nd, 2005, 01:23 PM Shows from my childhood are:
SPACE 1999
http://www.space1999.net/~moonbase99/command.htm
and anything from SID AND MARTY CROFT!
I nver got into the anime thing although Iremember those shows (and Speedracer)
K. Forman February 2nd, 2005, 03:13 PM There is a new Speed Racer out, and the art is much better, as is the story and animation. You can catch it on Nick's other channel, Gas.
John Britt February 2nd, 2005, 07:12 PM Jeez, I never realized there was such a sordid history behind Battle of the Planets! Multiple, re-edited versions? A hermaphroditic Zoltar? This makes me want to hunt down the original Gatchaman series -- which I never even knew the name of before today!
James Emory February 2nd, 2005, 07:16 PM Yep. I'm scared to order anything because there's no telling what version, language or quality the picture and sound will be. I had no idea that there were so many versions of these shows either until reading some of those pages.
Mark Sasahara February 6th, 2005, 01:43 PM Great links!
I remember running around my house yelling: "Ultraman"! and striking the karate pose. I think my sisters did too. Creature Double Feature was the fun.
Watched a lot of Speed Racer, F-Troop, Maxwell Smart-love that agent 99, Barbara Feldon, mmmm. Big Valley, Beverly Hillbillies...Fractured Fairy Tales, Rocky and Bullwinkle...
A few years before that, Kimba the White Lion. My older sisters loved that, so I was forced to watch it, but it was fun. So was Dark Shadows.
Anyone from NE remember Rex Trailer? Hee, hee.
