Along that line...
Loved the "WFLD..." run of Son Of Svengoolie as a kid. Still remember my mom taking me to get the "3D" glasses for this one at 7-Eleven.
Thought I should post these on this thread, 1991's Marvel Universe trading card set:
There would be subsequent sets sure. But 1991's holds a special place in my heart. That's the year I started to seriously purchase comics and learn about different heroes. The cards were a huge part of that. Looking at the cards, learning the bios of the characters, that's when I learned how amazing, fantastic, and uncanny the Marvel Universe was. As I look at these cards now, I see a cross section of individuals. Mutants, scientists, godlike beings, kings of lost kingdoms, and friendly neighborhood vigilantes. One just realizes the plethora of the Marvel Universe when laying out all the cards.
The experience still resonates by the way. I found my old set a couple of years ago and that honest sense of wonder was still there. Online entries and official websites just don't do that justice.

Jack Poet's Volkswagen dealership in LA closed long ago, but a large segment of the population of Southern California still remembers that they were located on Figueroa St. in Highland Park, on account of the radio and TV commercials that the Firesign Theater made for them in the late 1960s
Anyone else remember Action Park?
Only caught these commercials back in the early 90s. But yes, this is one of the original commercials for Action Park. And if that name sounds familiar, it's because there have been a number of documentaries on it. Indeed, Action Park was famous for a number of deaths and unsafe conditions. The owners kept the park running through various legal means. It's opened up again recently, but yeah, I'm not going to Action Park any time soon.
