Silly, but memories of it have stuck with me over the decades.<br />Oh, and just to show how nerdy I was/am: while the show was on tv, I was getting serious about building plastic model kits. How serious? I didn't want to get a model of a Saturn V rocket to duplicate the NASA footage from the opening credits... I wanted to get a model of a van, paint it white and make my own "NASA COMMISSARY" decals to replicate the guys' food van from the opening credits! I actually looked at generic letter decal sheets (or perhaps they were rub-down transfers) at a local hobby shop one day, counting the letters to make sure that there were enough on one sheet to actually spell "commissary." (Hey, who says Saturday morning tv shows weren't educational? I learned to spell a big word thanks to Far Out Space Nuts!)<br />CRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-40775020780276480672011-09-30T11:26:22.719-04:002011-09-30T11:26:22.719-04:00I remember getting Starlog's Special Effects #...I remember getting Starlog's Special Effects #1 book as a kid and marveling over the miniature landscapes that were produced by Mike Minor for all those Sid & Marty shows.<br /><br />I still have that book and would love to get these programs on DVD, if only to watch the old-school miniature effects.<br /><br />I know all the compositing was done on video but those models of futuristic landscapes made of acetone etched foam with buildings made from cardboard, styrene, plastic plates and glasses were just so cool!Pierrehttp://pierreportfolio.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-11367291447589727782011-09-29T19:24:52.600-04:002011-09-29T19:24:52.600-04:00Ah, I remember this one.... it aired on Sunday mor...Ah, I remember this one.... it aired on Sunday mornings where I'm from, in a block of Krofft shows in between the early-morning religious programs and the later-morning news shows. <br /><br />Is it just me, or does the wolf-man creature at about 1:07 look a lot like one of the critters in the Star Wars cantina? I've heard Lucas was forced to use some off-the-shelf masks in the scene (one of the things that's always bugged him, apparently)... could it be this was one of them?jasonhttp://www.jasonbennion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-32088772694318031802011-09-29T15:34:28.098-04:002011-09-29T15:34:28.098-04:00I loved all of those Sid & Marty Krofft shows ...I loved all of those Sid & Marty Krofft shows as a kid.
