Poll question: What Classic T.V. board game should we play.
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 04:04 PM by Longgrain
I'm bored so I cleaned out my room this morning and dusted off my collection of Classic T.V. Board Games...

We have to choose from...

1. Patty Duke




2. The Bugaloos




3. Gilligans Island



4. The Partridge Family



5. Flipper



6. Colombo



7. Baretta




I'm going with Baretta, acroding to the box, the object is to "Find the Real Criminal". Robert Blake must not be looking too hard if he needs my help.

4. No none for sale at the moment...
Maybe someday when I'm really poor, but until then they are permanent parts of the Longgrain Collection...

19. Yikes! That's just all wrong.
With the giant white hand coming in the right side, it's like a pedophile's wet dream: "The game that gives you a FUNNY FEELING!...but don't tell your mommy, kids, or I'll have to kill her."

eeewwwwwwwww! <shudder!!!!>

My collection is rather small, mostly T.V. related. About ten years ago I went nuts and started buying tons of T.V.Land type memorabilia, mostly from the 60s and seventies...

I posted this one before, of my collection of Bugaloos stuff...



I don't want to sell any of it (too many people have asked) but I just like showing it off. :)

Did you know that Nurse Dixie and Dr. Joe Early were married in real life? And that they had pretty impressive music careers before Emergency? That Nurse Dixie was married to teh guy who played Joe Friday before she married the guy who played Joe Early? Oh, I am just chock full of useless trivia.


Nurse Dixie


...and before Emergency, when she was just the sexy siren Julie London:

And especially without a girlfriend! How else are you supposed to release all that pent up testoterone?

Uh, wait... I can answer that. I read about your magazine collection in a post not so long ago. ;)
