Did ya'll watch "The Twilight Zone"? That one scared me too!

YES!! Mom and Dad watched that show, and sometimes I would come downstairs and watch it with them. It scared the fire out of me! Remember "Night Gallery"? That was another scary show!
But here in Indy, Friday nights at 11:30 is when "Nightmare Theater" came on! Sammy Terry was the host of the show. Get it? Sammy Terry (Cemetery)!
Later, I found out the owner of the music store I took my violin and cello lessons at, was SAMMY TERRY!! His real name was Bob Carter. After I met "Sammy Terry" in person, and realized he was a nice guy, I wasn't so scared of him anymore. God, I remember watching "Nightmare Theater" in black and white!! haha! Anyone my age from Indiana would remember Nightmare Theater.
Then there was Science Fiction Theater on Saturday night! Both shows aired on Channel 4, a local television station here in Indy. :)

Well, let's see:
Friday night cause school was over for the week.
Watching "Dark Shadows" after school.
Watching scary movies, especially late on Friday nights.
Listening and finding new music (yes, it goes back that far).
Buckburgers.
That's a few I can think of. Oh yeah, I remember Shake A Puddin'. Do they still make that

I remember "Shake-a-Puddin'"--Chocolate, Vanilla or Banana. Just put it in the shaker cup, add water, shake and in minutes you'd have a creamy treat. And all in one container, which sure made Mom happy. I still remember the perky girls in the ads with there flip haircuts, mini skirts and Go-Go boots shaking it up to the tune of "Shake, Shake, Shake-a-Puddin'. Puddin-Puddin, Shake-a-Puddin' Mmmm- Mmmmm."

Remember
"Funny Face"--Goofy Grape, Loud Mouth Lime, Chinese Cherry, and Injun Orange were only a few of the politically incorrect stereotypical personas lent to Pillsbury's answer to the popular Kool-Aid drink mixes of the day. The TV ads were strange. Goofy Grape was insane, (you could tell by the oversized Napoleon's hat he sported). Loud Mouth Lime was a big windbag, and Chinese Cherry looked like....... uh........ Well, let's just say that, soon after "Funny Face" was introduced, Chinese Cherry and Injun Orange were changed to Choo-Choo and Jolly Ollie, respectively. Soon after that "Funny Face" went into oblivion.

Yes. "Injun" is a BAAAD word!! Even back then, I remember squirming a little when I heard it! But I also remember drinking Injun Orange Funny Faces when I was a kid. And I ALSO remember my Native American/ African American/ Creole Mother (GAWD! All kinds of possibilities there, huh? ;) ) serving them to me. So it must have not been TOO bad; at least not back then.
Thanks for making me smile for a few minutes Dottie! I sure do remember Funny Faces, and they are a very good memory for me! :D
But now that I think about it, they really didn't taste very good, did they? ;) :P :laugh:

Remember this thing?
My sister got an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas when she was little. I think I played with it more than she did! :laugh:
You put a light bulb in there, and it heated the inside of the oven. It really worked too! It came with all kinds of mixes. You could make cakes and brownies in it.
They tasted terrible, but that wasn't the point, was it? :laugh:
