All this talk about old movies reminds me of Son of Svengoolie when....

[dj c-los]

Chicago area...forgot the year.
Remember they hyped up "Creature of the Black Lagoon" (i think that was the movie) and they were selling the 3D glasses at all 7-11's so you can see it in 3D.
Man, we all circled the set and i remember Sven saying to change the TV colors to "uniform colors."
IT DIDN'T WORK! What a scam. We all sat there looking like goofs around the set with no 3D action!!!!

Did it work for anyone here?

['Magic' Juan]

Bwa, ha, ha, ha!!! You are hilarious ... yes, I remember that. I still have the glasses stored up in the closet. That was a defining moment, my friend.

I still watch this show, actually. It just hits the right spot. Lots of good memories.

[DISKOQUEEN99]

And I surely remember that.

[dj c-los]

But did the 3D thing work for anyone?

You know how they used to pick the kids for the Grand Prize game; with the arrow going all across the screen? My class went to the show when I was in 2nd grade and I'm sitting on the bleachers and suddenly, they've picked 2 kids. I'm like, what happened to the arrow thing? DOH!

[dj c-los]

I remember there was a yellow bus that used to go to neighborhoods and take us kids to Gary, Indiana for church. They used to give away free goldfish, free candy, free baby chicks. Man, they were dedicated to spreading the word. Are they still around?
First Baptist Church of Indiana (i think that was the name).
