SpaceBoy67 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Ok, so a little trip down memory lane for me this morning...I used to watch a local TV show in California called Captain Cosmic. They showed Japanese sci-fi shows like Ultraman and Space Giants. Well, the show was incredibly cheesy (but of course I didn't realize that at the time), and featured a nice robot called 2T2. I'm going to try to include a picture, but in case it doesn't work, here's a link to a website: http://www.bobwilkins.tv/captaincosmic.htmDoes anyone else remember this robot?

robert Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I used to watch Creature Features on channel 2. Bob Wilkins was hilarious! He would run these reallly bad horror films and apologize before hand how bad it was going to be. Then during breaks he would do this really funny analysis of some of the movies' more pitiful scenes. i learned to love B movies because of Bob Wilkins. He had this really deadpan, dry delivery and his sarcastic, cigar chomping critique on the "movie de jour" was always more entertaining than the movie itself. It was kind of an early version of MS2K. Any idea what he is doing these days?Thanks for my walk down memory lane. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotnut Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Captain Cosmic must have been a hoot !!!Up north we had The Ghoul, who also played B-movies aswell as Japanese stuff. The Ghoul's claim to fame was hisundless torture of a rubber frog, named Froggy. Each weekthe Ghoul would either, mutilate, disembowel, light on fireor detonate Froggy with high explosives. My brother and Ilearned everything we know about demolition from thisdemented late nite maniac. I certainly miss the good olddays of TV, you just can't blowup rubber animals on TVanymore... :blink:www.theghoul.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zesko Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 In the early 1960s, we had a little local show called "Cadet Don," hosted by a singing spaceman in a flight suit, teamed with a sock puppet "alien" named Seymour... Featured cartoons, NASA training films, musical interludes, "famous" guests, et cetera... It was a hoot. I was really surprised to find out "Cadet Don" is still alive, and the TV station has dedicated part of their modern website to Cadet Don nostalgia...Check out Cadet Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
