    Nursery School Nightmares



    In the 70's, the folks in the jumpsuit industry must have been rolling in it. There is something so weird about that red CB inspired pit crew looking jumpsuit, like the pockets are for Skoal or something .


    What I was doing 32 years ago Department: I'm pretty jazzed about the first day of school for my kids and thought I'd share a ritual in my family. My mom would pose us against the wall of school every first day which seems weird now. The shirt I'm wearing appears to act as camoflague. This ends when we become teenagers, thankfully....




    DVD Tuesday


    Quite a doozy today, the long awaited release of Quark, the 1977 Science Fiction sitcom created by Buck Henry (Get Smart) and starring Richard Benjamin as Adam Quark, captain of a intergalactic Garbage vessel.

    It may have only ran 9 episodes during the summer of '77 but Quark seemed to be the kind of show that you didn't forget when you saw it. I was one of those people, I have an episode on tape somewhere and it still holds up. I have to own this set, at $15.00, it's a no brainer.
    Also available this week is the classic Peanuts special It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, I plan on going nuts this Halloween so it's another one to add to the basket.
    For Doctor Who fans, the 1977 Tom Baker Era story "The Invasion of Time" is now available on DVD. This six parter is about the Doctor fighting off invading hoardes of Sontaran Warriors as they try to gain control of his home planet of Gallifrey. Despite my love for 70's era Who stories, this isn't my favourite. The budget seems to be stretched waifer thin (the cavernous inside of the Tardis looks like an unused recreation center) plus this story is the departure of the wonderful Leela, so maybe I'm just bitter...

    Those kids look so happy in the normal shot. Then look at them in the insets. I think it dawned on them on how terrible the outfits really are.

    The little girl in green looks like the love-child of Action Jackson and Dinah-Mite.

    I bet the kid in the red jumpsuit wore one of those Burt Rynolds stunt man jackets later on in life.

    The litttle girl in the overalls kinda reminds me of myself (no cracks, I know I was a black child!), but I had overalls w/ engineer stripes, and red hearts on them. And I had a yellow turtleneck like that one.

    I think your mom should have taken that shot from even farther away

    I was looking at some old 70's shots and I remembered the difficulty we used to have taking simple pics. Remember people's heads getting cut off or having to take 2 shots to make sure one came out proper. We really take today's technology for granted.

    Seriously! What's even weirder is that they're all like this.
