The robot's probably standing on him.
And wasn't he actually Mr. Smith? (although I always called him Dr Smith, too).

I had that. Mine was blue though, like on the box (or I think grey, actually), not red. I just tried unsuccessfully to find one of those to buy for my brother for xmas.

Tiddledy Winks is a game that uses a plastic disk to flip the chips into the center and score points.

Necco Wafers Rootbeer was my favorite

It's a boyscout neckerchief ring thingie that we used to whittle out of a block of wood. They came in a little craft kits. The one posted was the 3 finger boyscout salute, but I remember having others too that I couldn't find in a google search. I think the salute one was the easiest to carve. I had an indian head that was pretty cool. If anyone else could find any of these I'd be grateful. I don't even remember what ya called em.
There were also other crafts we did when we were in the cubscouts, but they may have been specific to my troupe and pack at the time. Couldn't find anything in a search.
In something unrelated, I realized something I never hear anymore....
People blasting their stereos.
Growing up, everybody, everywhere used to blast their stereos. Now you only hear it in cars. Everybody else is using headphones and earphones.

Don't know if this has been mentioned earlier, but "Supercar" and "Fireball XL-5" were part of my childhood TV viewing. These days, marionettes would probably never fly (pun intended) for a kids' TV program.

Hey Joe never had one but check the overrated thread again when you have a chance
Did already. Now we can derail this thread
.Did you come to a show? Or you saw us online?
I remember Fireball XL-5 it actually started as a comic book in the early 60's before going on to be a popular tv show my favorite was these little space scooters
