PKerr's thread on TV theme songs reminded me of a site I used to browse a lot, then lost track of. I couldn't even remember the name.

So I searched around and finally found it again: http://www.retroland.com/

Enjoy, and post links to your favorite memories!

(EDIT: Maybe this belongs in Miscellaneous, though the site does have TV & Media areas. But it also has Food, Fashion, etc. I'll leave it up to the Mods to decide.)

Shrinky-dinks!

Kids nowadays don't understand the pure fun factor of melting plastic in the oven while mom comes in to investigate the smoke pouring out of the kitchen.

I loved Shrinky-dinks! My favorite was my Mork & Mindy set.

I used to love this show: Battle of the Planets

Remember these shows that came on the heels of Raiders of the Lost Ark? Bring 'em Back Alive, featuring TRON co-stars Bruce Boxleitner and Cindy Morgan, and Tales of the Gold Monkey?

Atari.

I still have this Six Million Dollar Man figure, with bionic eye and bionic grip, and peel-back skin to reveal bionic components: http://www.retroland.com/pages/retropedia/toys/item/2526/

I used to watch "Battle of the Planets" when I came home from school. Oh, and I definitely remember "Tales of the Gold Monkey." I thought that was terribly cool.

Loved this show. Watched it passionately.
