| 3947 | Article | Vaporman87 | Trading cards... NOOOO! These ads came out at a time when my dad was ridiculously obsessed with sports cards. He was buying crazy amounts of them and hoarding them. He would watch late night shopping network shows, buying up the cards. It was a crazy time. So many great "time capsule" ads here. Comics were, and hopefully will always be, a great place to find reflections of our culture in the advertisements. | Jun 21, 2017 |  | |
| 3949 | Article | Vaporman87 | Thanks for sharing these special memories with your father post-divorce. I know exactly how you felt. I too had to deal with the divorce of my parents at around the same age. It was a difficult time, but it was nice to have the time specifically devoted to doing things together. I lived with my mom until I was old enough to make my own choice of who to live with, and since my mom was moving to another town and I had no interest in losing my friends and making new ones, I moved in with my dad. But I can still remember that first time I visited dad following the split. He took us into town and bought me a Mantis figure from G.C. Murphy's, then we went and watched Silver Bullet. I remember nothing about that movie, but I clearly recall that it was the film we watched. I benefited from the divorce in many ways, but most of all with an expanded family. I earned a brother that I am close to even today, with my dad once again divorced. I met many new people I would have otherwise never known, and experienced new things. Sure it was tough on me, but I don't think I would go back and change anything in regard to their split. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3950 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yes! I am very much looking forward to every article on this subject. I love old TV Guides and I enjoy your breakdowns of each show here. So many shows here that I've never heard of. Like you've mentioned, some of these really do have the star power, and on paper they should have been successes. But that isn't a guaranteed formula. The viewing public can be a fickle bunch. I don't think anybody was ready to see Jack Tripper in a marriage setting. And maybe people weren't as keen on high-tech motorcycles like they were talking Trans Ams. But some of these really seemed to have a good premise. I'd like to be able to catch some episodes of Paper Dolls, Call to Glory, and Hawaiian Heat. Craig T. Nelson, Elisabeth Shue, AND Keenan Wynn?! Yes please. | 1984 TV Guide Fall Preview: ABC | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3951 | Article | Lazlo | I also remember going to see "Back To The Future" for the first time. It was a crowded mall cinema, and I was chomping on Jujubees and drinking Cherry Coke. Both are still theater food faves for me. | Seeing E.T. For The First Time | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3952 | Article | Lazlo | I remember an episode of Call To Glory where one of the characters took part in the March on Washington, but dont recall much else. I do remember many of the other shows, some which I've seen and some I've only heard of. Makes me miss the '80s!!! | 1984 TV Guide Fall Preview: ABC | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3953 | Article | NLogan | I never saw any of these game shows, but I did see Xuxa on Brazilian TV and I have been to the town she was from in Rio Grande do Sul. | Five Game Shows No One Talks About Anymore | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3954 | Article | NLogan | I watched plenty of Who's the Boss?, saw Airwolf in person at an air show, and had a knock off cheap motorcycle toy that I used to pretend was street hawk. | 1984 TV Guide Fall Preview: ABC | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3955 | Article | NLogan | I can relate. I too was an every other weekend visit to dad's kid. Freddy's in the mountain states is a cool 50s joint to get a burger. You already know I love comics. My dad, my twin and I all had our weekly rituals or as my dad put it, "Let's rent a pizza, and buy a movie". We did Shopping at Food 4 Less with the grocery total being the same week after week, Blockbuster Video until we were banned and then some no name ma and pa video store, miniature golf, arcades, moview theaters, and Tae Kwon Do. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3956 | Article | NLogan | I also have this issue of Amazing Spider-Man that looks suspiciously similar to yours. <p><img src="http://retro-daze.org/uploads/0ebb67faf2111904784c7f409f76a328.jpg"> </p> | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3957 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | While I can't relate fully, there was a brief period in my life where I went through this. My parents split up for a period of time back when I was in third grade. They eventually got back together, but it was a weird period none the less. I remember sitting in bed one night, a night that my father returned home after I went to bed. I was pretending to sleep while listening to my parents in the living room have an extremely emotional discussion. I just spent the entire night that night thinking about what the future held for my family and how the life I had up until that moment was likely over. Soon after that is when I started having days out with my dad on the weekend. From the morning to night he would take me out to eat, see a movie, go shopping and just do other activities that he knew I would enjoy. While I enjoyed every day I had with him, deep down on the inside I was upset knowing that this was likely going to be the new normal for me. I guess I’m a lucky kid in this type of situation, my parents got back together eventually. Eventually the entire incident became a thing of the past and was completely forgotten by everyone. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
