Fisher Price Adventure People Make Me Happy
I really don’t have a lot to say today other than the sight of Fisher Price Adventure People never fail to make me happy. This ad is from 1975 when “collect em all” meant “four sets”.
Mighty Crusaders by Remco
I have a very deep affections for Archie’s Superhero characters and while I wish the Remco Mighty Crusader’s line was better, I do realize this is the first and possibly only action figure line I’ll see in my life time.

It’s episode 42, we’re both entirely too nerdy not to do an episode devoted to Douglas Adam’s seminal “Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series. Jason and Brian talk up the books, radio dramas, the BBC TV series and of course, the big budget movie from 2005. Along the way we veer off into Doctor […]
