Anyone ever make it to the World Of Sid & Marty Croft in Atlanta's Omni Center while it was up and running? (Mid-'70s.)

Are you sure they were green? TV was black & white back then!

So what was up with Grandfather Clock and Bunny Rabbit, anyways?

All great family shows until society became perverted.

Ok, so I was watching in the late 70's on a color set, but yes, his pants were green... Though I don't know if they were realy jeans. :? I remember thinking that denim(jeans) only comes in blue so how can he have green jeans?

Yeah, I get a 6-page catalog every month that is set in Photoshop. Typically contains 92 layers. And requires heavy editing, and everything is positioned too close to the trim. What un!

Hell, I'm still printing booklets with carved potatos (non-offset)! Although the technology for spud printing has increased dramatically in the last 10 years, with spudscript and PDFF (potato deep fry format).

...the art of carving reverse ampersands in starchy objects is still a skill to cherish...
