‘The Banana Splits’ were probably every kid’s favorite.

You all know how much I love to take strolls down memory lane . .

Today I thought I would dig up some intros to those kid’s shows that we we couldn’t wait to get home to see after school. You know, back when we were running around in Normandy Rose jeans, leather Nike’s, were rocking friendship pins and toting metal lunch boxes around. Sid & Marty Krofft were the bomb.

To see them now, they look pretty goofy, you have to wonder what those guys were smoking.

A treat for those who remember, but for those who don’t, you’re probably going to wonder what I’m smokin’ . .

Who knew Diedre Hall was in such a silly show? I did!

The year 2000 seemed eons away back in the 1930s.

This entertaining retro video from the 30s shows what fashion designers believed we would be wearing in the year 2000. Everything from electric belts that adapt the body to climatic changes to the all-in-one dress. A few predictions were right on, but most were way off, however, this is worth a watch.

“Oohh..swish!”

For those who were kids in the early 70s, you’ll probably remember the theme for Sid and Marty Krofft’s ‘Sigmund and the Sea Monsters‘.

This shizzle is going waaay back! But for those who remember, you’ll get a kick out of it.

Pure 70s pop culture delight..

You guys know I totally love anything retro. Art, clothing, music.. and these advertisements are pretty cool too.

My, how times have changed! Some of these are almost unbelievable. Eating lard, douching with Lysol (holy wtf) and doctor recommended cigarettes, really make you realize how much we have progressed in the past 50-60 years.

All I know is you ‘thinspiration’ bitches better not get any ideas with the tapeworms, alright?

Thanks Lala!

That wacky, colorful and always fun band of the past is finally making a return.

The B-52’s first release in 16 years is set to hit stores on March 25th. ‘Funplex’ is the first album with the band’s new label, Astralwerks.

All band members participated in the writing for the album which was recorded in their native Athens, GA.

Guitarist Keith Strickland described the recording, “It’s loud, sexy rock and roll for your pleasure zones, with the beat pumped up to hot pink.”

Astralwerks manager Glenn Mendlinger stated, “We are thrilled to be bringing The B-52’s music to a new generation of intergalactic fans. Cindy, Fred, Kate, and Keith have made an album that is incredibly fresh, dynamic and perhaps most importantly, quintessentially The B-52’s … instantly recognizable, instantly fun.”

If you were a girl growing up in the late 70s your idol was almost certainly Lynda Carter, in the television series that ran from 1976-79, Wonder Woman.

Lynda was definitely one of the most stunning women in television. The body of a goddess, jet black hair , electric blue eyes and that super hot superhero costume.

Enjoy this tribute to one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood.

The Hammer was so big back in the day that he even had his own cartoon on Saturday mornings.

It was called ‘Hammer Man’ and it was all about the magical shoes, baby…
