1970 :  I am 4 years old Bobby Sherman Bobby Sherman is a fond memory from my childhood, especially "Julie, Do You Love Me" which in retrospect is a recording that Sinatra or Dean Matin would have tried, but a teen star to make such a adult-sounding track was pretty brave. I was impressed to see how he eased himself out of superstardom to care for his kids, and to seek a normal life--Kevin Federline, take note... SEE ALSO:

1971 :  I am 5 years old Toss Across My cousins had one of these, and I was DEEPLY envious...until 25 years later, when I found a vintage one in a Goodwill, and bought it for my daughters! I cannot tell you who enjoys it more! SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old Three Dog Night Just a terrific group! Unusual for their time because they had three distinct lead singers, TDN relied on some of music's greatest songwriters for their hits, which covered 1969-1977. Badly underappreciated! SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old CBS Children's Film Festival I remember watching this all the time, but I have trouble remembering any of the movies! Many were a bit too "off-the-wall" for me at the time, though I do know that a few truly held my attention. One that stays with me was a story about a young boy and his burro... SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old Mold-A-Rama These were fantastic (if you were white farm trash that didn't get out much...color me guilty)! They had one at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, and it was a gorilla (in honor of "Casey", the 'star' attraction)...very cool, though the minor burns you got from grabbing the sucker too soon made for complications... SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old The Avengers This was the second show that used the phrase "hoist with his own petard" (Bullwinkle was the other)--I thought Steed was the ultimate dude, and of course Emma Peel was the uber-female. Simply one of a kind, and that's a shame. SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old Tang Ah...Tang. After about five to seven spoonfuls (ignore the instructions--Tang tasted awful by its intended amounts), just add water and chug! The sugar rush would carry you for hours! Actually a lot of drinks are similar to Tang now, especially Sunny Delight and Tropicana Orangeade--but Tang gets the bad reputation. I have a soft spot for the stuff--I remember when it was the "space-age" drink, and I especially remember the grape Tang, which could put a rhino in a diabetic coma. SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old Wax Bottles I remember that we always got these for kid game prizes at the county fair--an absolutely priceless memory, even if you tended to swallow more wax than beverage at times. SEE ALSO:

1972 :  I am 6 years old The Electric Company Grrr...Ate---GREAT Shhh....Ohhh--SHOW! So many memories--we would watch this at school (gave the teacher an hour off, but it was for our "benefit"--to be honest, I remember those lessons more than anything she taught!) SEE ALSO:

1973 :  I am 7 years old Kid Power A very sweet memory of childhood...I even have faint memories of the theme music--"Red, yellow black or white, it's up to Kid Power..." SEE ALSO:
