Seeing as it’s Christmas time I thought it would be fun to bring up this vintage bit of strangeness. These captures from the fourth season of the Six Million Dollar Man, the episode is “The Bionic Christmas Carol”. You see in 1974 Gerald Ford passed into law the “Dickens Act” which meant every TV show, […]
One look at this thing brought back about a 1,000 different nightmares of being alone in a relatives dark basement and discovering one of these on the wall. Seriously, why were these made?
I love this ad for the “Star Trek metal detection probe” or as I call it the “Social Life Eradicator” has a slightly worried looking Mr Spock overseeing this action. He’s not liking this one bit.
I’m happy to announce another family member to the Plaidstallions family of blogs (although if you count Sitcom Diablo, I’m kind of a deadbeat dad) Flea Market Gold is a tribute to my favourite weekend event, digging through other people’s old crap. It’s a loving and completely sarcastic look at the subculture of dirt malls. […]
Lest we never forget the massive spread of “Henry Winkler Mania” that pummeled the country in the mid 1970s. It’s somewhat understandable that teens and pre-teens wanted to be more like this leather clad rebel so we can forgive this young man doing his best “Ayyyy” here.

Here is another accessory that I need for the Plaidstallions nerve center, I’ll put it right next to the beer fridge and the baconer, when they finally retrieve my bloated carcass from under this pile of old catalogs, at least it’ll be smiling.
New to the AHI Batman Rack Toys Gallery is this fun little plane which in 1976, caused my grandmother much duress. As a kid, I was often baby sat by her on Saturdays while she worked in her store, this usually meant a trip to Woolco and a cheap “shut up toy” of this ilk. Upon buying this very toy, I […]
‘Dukes of Hazzard” by Modern Publications I’m going to preface today’s CBT with the confession that I have little to no nostalgia for Dukes of Hazzard. I don’t hate it or think people who like it are dumb, I just don’t really dig it. My fondest memory of the show is it became the subject […]
‘Star Trek” by Saalfield (1975) Bit of an milestone today, as we have not only the worst colouring book I have ever seen but the worst bit of Star Trek merchandise ever. Yes, this publication with the nice shot of a slightly inebriated Mr Spock on the cover beats this item and even this item as […]
