At least we know you're not a moth but unfortunately that scent attracts you. So citronella it is!

Yes! (52 here and also loved Space: 1999). I even own an Oscar Goldman action figure with the exploding briefcase.

I'll be 46 next week. So I guess I qualify.

First video games? Hm. Probably the Atari 2600 at home, though I remember a neighbor having the Pong game a few years earlier, but didn't play it too much. The Atari had graphics that were horrible by today's standards but if you wanted your own copy of various arcade games it was fun.

I still have some of my old mix tapes, but I suspect they've degraded over the years. I don't have access to the same tech Peter Quill did. ;-)

Good one! But I prefered the Bionic Woman with Lindsey Wagner...I even had the lunchbox in elementary school.

I really loved Max, the bionic dog.

Reminds me of a few other old SF tv series too.

SPOILER: Click to show

I thought Wiki was cute.

Buck Rogers in the 25th century. The pilot intro was awful; sexy babes in space!

Ahhh, the old Galactica. The suave Starbuck!

Dang didn't I wish I had their abilities.

And swim like him. :lol:

Cool!

It's been so long that I forget the character names exept for Varion. I think what I loved the most about it was that they had a woman that talked to her cat.

I was/am an animal lover and back then any show with animals in it gained my favor.

The Life and Times of Grizzly Addams really thrilled me.
