    I recognize most of them, but a few elude me. Some dreck there, but a few gems, too.

    I recognize almost all of them, even Quark (behind the Man from Atlantis, who's behind Wonder Woman.)

    Much Awesome, and I recognize Everyone with no problems. There is no doubt, that little poster would make for a hell of a game.

    Seeing that picture, someone has to write up G-Force/Gatchaman.

    Which Wonder Woman ? 'Cause I see both versions there....One is in front of The Man From Atlantis and the other is in front of Capt America and the Dalek.....

    Tho' I have to admit, I am not quite placing the blonde or the dog in front of David McCallums "Invisible Man"....

    BTW, since when was "Land Of The Giants" a 70's thing ? I mean sure, it's last episode aired in March of 1970 but....

    I was so hot for Leela when I was like 14. I used to watch those Dr. Who reruns on the local PBS channel. Leela and Wonder Women caused my puberty.

    Most of these shows were terrible, but the nostalgia quotient is high.

    I'm guessing Jaimie Summers, the Bionic Woman (and Max the Bionic Dog).

    I must admit I'm not seeing an element from LOTG in that picture. Would you mind pointing it out to me?

    I'm really digging the variety of spacecraft! I forgot how diverse the models from different shows were over the decade.

    Ahh...Yep. I had a moment of blankness when I initially responded....Thanks.

    Twiki is holding what appears to be the "Spindrift", the ship from LOTG.

    In terms of acting, several. Otherwise, I only recognize live-action. The Phoenix does seem to be out of place with the others.

    Re: Supers and SF characters from 70s TV.

    The LOTG ship should be red, otherwise it looks to much like the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The Phoenix fits though. If you were a Kid back in the 70's like me you were on the mad sprint home from school so you didn't miss Battle of the Planets. Remember. Days before Cable were interesting.

    ~Rex....remembers when it was cool if you had a TV antenna you could change the direction of and get another cities ABC....Still want my damn 6 Million Dollar Man DVD collection to.
