Do you remember? (another nostalgia thread)

[llghoney]

I had never heard of those show for the OP but does anyone remember Solid Gold? I think that is the name. It was a dance show like Soul Train.

I remember Solid Gold, but American Bandstand was my favorite.

...it's got a good beat and its easy to dance to... I gave it an 82

Does anyone remember that soda called "Jolt"? (It was touted as having twice the sugar and twice the caffeine as compared to other sodas).

Then there was Pepsi Free.

Hey, I remember JOLT. It wasn't that long ago though. I drank one and they had to peel me off the ceiling. LOL.

But the sad thing is I remember ultraman, speed racer, captain kangaroo, Tab (althouh I did like Tab), I remember solid gold (my mother hated that show so I wasn't allowed to watch it),

But if you really want to "go back in time" Who remembers the Monkeys (and I'm not refering to the animal), they had a show on for a while.

What's sad about remembering Ultraman and Speed Racer?

Friday Night Videos...the NBC version of MTV shown after Letterman where he used to work at the network at the time.

I definitely remember that! My brother and I always watched it. We would get popcorn and stay up till midnight (that is when it started)

That One is a Great Memory of the 80's!

I looked up "Ultraman" online just to see it and I don't remember that one.
In case anyone else wants to see what it was about, here's a pretty nice link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman .

I do remember Speed Racer though!

Also, I remember the "Creature Double-Features" that would come on TV. Wow, those were great!!

Ultraman was on when I was a wee child.He is a man that turns into a giant metallic super-hero.This was made in Japan and was similar to Godzilla.

YES! I do remember Ultra-Man!! Used to come on right after school when I was in the 2nd grade as I recall. I've only met one other person who remembers this show, and he was from Puerto Rico. The "not so ultra" man would always be trapped under a collapsed building or something and not be able to reach the capsule to make him "Ultra." That's where the suspense came in!!
Oh, got any good Ultra-Man linx??

 

[Veiled Viper]

I wish I knew where I could get my hands on some Ultraman tapes!
I was so young at the time,the bad special effects looked downright awesome!
Yeh,not many remember those shows,but they really sparked my young imagination.

Knight4God - There are actually several of the Ultraman DVDs for sale on ebay. Just thought I would mention it, since I was browsing through ebay and typed it in - and there were quite a few.

I used to love the kids game show "Starcade"
As I love video games of the 80's(No not Nintendos nor Playstations, sorry if I offend any fans).
And that is where I got my first crush on game show host Geoff Edwards.

Happy Birthday Knight4God!
