I think Bob Wilkins is the original "cool nerd." Of course, it wasn't until I was old enough to drive that I understood why he always made fun of Milpitas ;-) Thank you for this wonderful little spot to remember and appreciate!

I remember one time sending in a picture I drew, and she showed it on tv with so many others! "And here's one from little Darren showing an airplane bombing a house." Today if a kid sent that picture anywhere, CPS would be called and psychologists and counselors would swarm the kid--but to Miss Pat, that was just what little boys drew.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-22200490440512287082009-02-17T15:14:00.000-08:002009-02-17T15:14:00.000-08:00didnt bob also premiere hardware wars?bob was an o...didnt bob also premiere hardware wars?<BR/><BR/>bob was an og geek and made all us kid geeks feel special<BR/><BR/>i saved up all my money from my paper route in order to buy a small black and white tv, just so i could watch his show, without my parents yelling at me to go to bed<BR/><BR/>rip bob...you and uncle forry can now spend the rest of eternity discussing the best and worst of movies, comics and pulpsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-1897853889339788272009-01-17T16:23:00.000-08:002009-01-17T16:23:00.000-08:00Great remembrance of Bob; thanks for posting this!...Great remembrance of Bob; thanks for posting this!

I'm old ...Thank you for this walk down memory lane. I'm old enough for the memory to be fuzzy, but I could swear the Creature Features was where I first saw "The Five-Thousand Fingers of Dr. T"--the first television movie whose ending I can remember scaring the daylights out of me.<BR/><BR/>We Bay Area kids were especially blessed when it came to kids programming. There were Miss Nancy, Mayor Art, Pat McCormick--who you mentioned as host of "Dialing For Dollars"--also voiced the "Charlie Horse and Humphrey Hambone" puppets. There was the laconic, drawling Marshall Jay and a host of other shows and personalities that came and went.<BR/><BR/>I was a little too young to get most of Bob Wilkins's humor. But he showed the most exciting, diverse movies on television. I remember <I>Kronos</I> about an alien robot sent to earth to absorb all its energy. The mechanic of locomotion of a huge robot whose legs were pistons that only went up and down didn't concern me; it was scary.<BR/><BR/>This was the heyday of actors like Richard Denning, John Agar, and Whit Bissell who filled military uniforms or lab coats, said their lines, and watched while the monsters ran amok.<BR/><BR/>Godspeed to Bob Wilkins. He brought us kids movies that our parents normally wouldn't let us see. And thanks again for reminding me.MacDaffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727984434532528550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-80418002507005984642009-01-12T22:10:00.000-08:002009-01-12T22:10:00.000-08:00I live in San Ramon and, while I didn't watch Crea...I live in San Ramon and, while I didn't watch Creature Feature, I sure do remember Dialing for Dollars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
