David Hall - Or polio, which had been stopped due to vaccinations, but there were still a lot of polio survivors around. Polio was scary as hell! Most kids were spared the depressing and scary stuff adults were dealing with, but it crept into our lives a bit. Every little boy knew about Vietnam, nuclear weapons, famine abroad (“Eat your dinner! There are starving kids in China who would LOVE to have those vegetables!”), etc.

Yes a lotta shit was going on but,life was simple.Nowadays,every one you see on the streets is cruel,just awful,or a pedophile.Back then kids went outside,played actual games and explored the world but nowadays kids are spoiled brats.And entertainment was better too!Shows,movies,cartoons,comics,books,and so much more were better and not just shitty acting and special effects.What I’m Saying is things were going on but I think things are worse now.Sure yes all that stuff plus sexism and racism were common but I think are even MORE common.All I’m saying is With every generation shit will always be around but these times will always be golden.

I remember that Topper Toys had a very similar "Johnny Toymaker" machine that came with various car molds and similar "Plastigoop" stuff that came in various colors so that you could make your own toy car bodies! They sold the car rolling chassis separately, and you would put the car bodies you would make on them.

Incedently I put that Mickey Mantle card on the spokes of my bike with the banana seat. Love was love, music had meaning and melody, it was poetry. What an innocent lifestyle for most. Having said that, I would never go back even if I could. If only I knew then what I know now. I found my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in 1993 and my life will never be the same.

The small fishing village had 350 people, one road in and one road out. I was so excited to get there and so sad to have to go home.

I've viewed several, liking all, but this one dredged up melancholy I'd forgotten I was capable of! No tears, but it made me strangely sad, esp seeing the poor young country family. Life's a neverending struggle for some, a breeze for others, & often the difference between the 2 is no more than luck of the draw - where, when, & to whom yr born. Certain aspects here just reminded me how much life's in my reaview now, w/no playback button, like was on Cousin Billy's reel to reel. On the other hand, Cootie! I loved playing Cootie. & that Godzilla vs. the Thing? I have that. Haven't played it since late 60's/early 70's, but it's still downstairs. Thanx for the time capsule, Fred!

The first honest to God grown up possession ( not a toy ) that I had when I was a teenager was that pocket 7 transistor radio. I thought that was the coolest bit of super high tech I had ever seen. Imagine,...a radio, (AM only, there was no FM at that time), that fit in my shirt pocket. Well, I tell you, the sci fi future had arrived. I was King of the world.

I was like every other kid like you and most of the poster's on this channel topic. Living the LIFE!! Played marbles but my dad always loved to cut in when he seen me with "Let me show you how it's done boy". He was snap fast good too. Everything from TV shows to Radio and Magazines-Comic Books etc. WE HAD IT ALL!! Must be why things are horrible now. The big bad boogy man & minions hated us for having such a simple decent and free life back then in UTOPIA after the WW2. Making us pay for it now. No Matter though. Can't steal that time away that we experienced back then and will carry with us all our existence now and in the times beyond to come for us! Yes Sir!

Those Flintstones shoes brought back memories of a pair of "cowboy" boots I had. Same shape.
