Has anybody mentioned The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman yet? We were just talking about them at dinner tonight and I couldn't remember if I saw them mentioned on this thread yet or not. But I loved those shows!

I was more of a fan of Earache My Eye and Sister Mary Elephant instead, however I didn't hear them until the 80's though.
How about Nerf Balls, Slinky's, etc?

Did I mention playdough yet? Remember how you could apply it to a newspaper and then you could stretch and twist the image that was imprinted?

I remember slip and slide and was bummed that my family never owned one!
Somehow I am reminded of Sit & Spin also.
I was fortunate to have the Mickey Mouse Rollercoaster though.

Those made me dizzy...
How about the "Big Wheel"... was that a 70's thing or an 80's thing?

Oh yes, I had one of those back in the 70's! I would always end up losing the back adjusting seat though which would make it annoying to ride instead.

We had a SlipnSlide and most of the kids in the neighborhood were over at our house playing on it ....... and getting hurt. None of their parents sued us either.

Now how did they get hurt? Did they spin too fast where they tottled over?
Also, remember Twister too?
And how about School House Rock?

What about the Playskool school house? That was one of my favorite toys when I was about 7 years old (1971). It had little people with no arms or legs--a teacher and about 4 students--, little desks, a little playground, the side opened out to make a blackboard, and it had chalk and an eraser for it. It had a little tray that slid underneath that held magnetic letters that went on the roof. It was the coolest toy!

I remember that but I did not own one at all, after all, I was just a boy. 
Now what I did want that my parents never got me was one of those easy bake ovens instead.

I had an Easy Bake Oven, but my dad was an electrician and a lot like Tim Taylor..... needless to say, it didn't last too long.
I had a Baby Alive, but she couldn't "take care of business" so I couldn't feed her. My dad was going to fix her for me, but the memories of the Easy Bake Oven were still too fresh in my memory. I couldn't bear to see another toy wind up in Toy Heaven.

Actually, I do believe you are right on that one.

I was born in 79 but I remember silly putty. Didn't it come in an egg shaped container?

What was the name of that guy? I can hear his voice, and see his face, but I can't remember his name. And I know he was Merv Griffin's bandleader. Maybe I'll go look it up. It's bugging me.
