Nominated for Best Costumes and Special Effects: Lost In Space. 

I know lost in space. I came across it on the channel that shows old TV shows. I had heard of the movie but I had no idea it was once a TV show. It's so totally over the top corny and stupid that it's fun to watch. My brother and I always watch it if it happens to be on. I like that robot better than any sci-fi robot I've seen. The girls clothes on that show were actually pretty cool. I am really surprised they would have such an obviously gay character as Dr Smith on a show way back then. I need to find the movie and see if it's as corny as the TV show.

Cooties: not just a thing boys get.

Yep.  One of these days I'm going to figure out how to put a picture into the body of the message.

Oh wow. You can actually buy them still. I should get one, it would make a great gag gift.

Captain Kangaroo (no, it was a US show) and a local favorite Wallace and Ladmo

Floppy Disk. And the punch tool to make them double sided...

That's interesting, was it supposed to be like a flash drive for back then?

Exactly and then was replaced by the 3" floppy.

If you think that was cheesy look up. "When things were Rotten"  and "It's about Time"  Or get ahold of an airing of Uncle Milty in drag. Or maybe try Flip Wilson in drag. This is what being transgender was portrayed as.

Stingray bicycles.

Hula hoops.

It's about time - have those on xhd along with Flip Wilson.  Even My mother the car and the Farmer's Daughter.  Kind of an old TV series/movies collecting nut case.

Us old folks like the feel of dead trees between our fingers as we read the newspaper, magazines or a good book.  If an EMP hits, that's what we'll all be doing

Newspapers have always been seen as dependable reporting. The net does not follow that as anyone can say anything and if you take the time to vet everything you discover Russians have hacked democracy.

Clackers.

I've seen its about time. Same oldies channel lost in space comes on. It's not even cheesy it's just totally stupid! I check out the oldie channel because some of the old shows are cool. But some are just idiotic. A flying nun. What's that even supposed to be? Really stupid. I'm surprised people would watch the really stupid shows.

Laurie explained hula hoops to me. Did you say there was a show called my mother the car?? I'll bite, what was it about? Surely it can't really be as stupid as it sounds.

Let's not cross the line about my Gidget!

Sally Field (Forrest Gump's mom) was Gidget as well as Sister Batrell in the Flying Nun.
