    Somehow you always knew television of the 1970s was a Sargasso Sea of crazy...

    As a survivor of 70's TV, I can tell you it was more of a Dead Sea of deadly dull. The weed-hazed weirdness coming from Sid and Marty Krofft provided some of the few exceptions. How many bongs were named after H.R. Puffinstuff? #krofftsuperstore

    You know, I was once severely confused by an accidental exposure to an episode of this show and an unfortunate collision with memories of _The Six Million Dollar Man_. I swear, I stood in front of the TV for about ten minutes going "Wait, isn't he supposed to be a robot or something?" before the breakers tripped in my head.

    What *was* it with the seventies and conflicting Bigfoots? #krofftsuperstore

    The fact that we haven't been exterminated by now could mean either there is no other intelligent life out there or we're so heinously awful that they want absolutely nothing to do with us.

    Haha. "All these old myths have tales of creatures coming from the sky. Therefore they must be physical accounts of aliens".

    Man, I miss the days where people took myth seriously. If they still did, they might clue into the fact that the same universal human impulse to drag creatures out of the heavens to invigorate our world is still alive and well.

    I also heard that claude levi-strauss dies today, so I guess I'm reminiscing about myths a lot. #liesdeception

So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths." #liesdeception

    That could be a good idea for a film and a spin off tv series.
