Perhaps you mean Fred Austere . . . 
Proper Saturday morning cartoons like the Superfirends and Bugs Bunny/Road Runner.
Whatever happened to Dr. Demento? I used to love his radio show.
He’s still around!
“Purple Passion Fruit” Ben & Jerry’s. Tasted like real peaches!!
Texas Grill Fritos.
On a similar note to several other posts, I miss the Late Nite Movie. Not any specific show with that title – just the time when local stations would play actual movies at 2am instead of the same stupid penis-enlargement infomercial. I must have watched eleventy-hundred old horror flicks featuring Vincent Price / Boris Karloff / Peter Cushing / etc., all of them grainy and crackly and muffled and washed-out. And dammit, they were BETTER that way! Yeah, I know those same movies are now considered “classics” and you can still see them on cable channels like AMC or TCM, all cleaned up and commercial-free and letterboxed and such. And I appreciate that, really. But still, there’s just something about a cheap horror movie that demands to be watched at 2am on the Late Nite Movie, interspersed with crappy local commercials for car dealerships.
And I am certain that there are several thousand other people who feel the same way! 
Joe Bob Briggs.
The X-Files before it got lame.
Long hair.
Captain Cosmic on KTVU Channel 2.
Being able to drink all night and still go to work the next day.
Living near the ocean.
When they used to show Mr. Ed on Nick-At-Nite. I don’t know why. The Monkees too.
Freaks and Geeks and Seinfeld
When The Simpsons used to be great.
Pipe Organ Pizza restaurants (I know there still are a few, but they’re hard to track down, and I’m afraid to go lest it doesn’t live up to my memories.)
Son of Svengoolie (Channel 32 Chicago before it became a FOX station.)
Speed Racer (the original…I did try the new one, for about 5 seconds.)
Also in the same vein: Battle of the Planets
And this one is really hard to admit, but: Hee Haw…I used to remember my parents & grandparents watching it when I was a kid. Just once more so I could have that warm, fuzzy feeling would probably do it. (I can’t believe they don’t show this on TNN or something!)
Big Wheels, Sit n Spins, KerPlunk, Lite Brite, Spirograph, etc. (I know you can still get some of them, but there is only so much junk my house will hold…it already looks like a TGI Fridays in here.)
When music was considered scandalous for alluding to sex (Love to Love you Baby, etc) instead of “Grind your BEEEEEEEP on my BEEEEEEEP you hootchie, hootchie ho ho bitch!”
Franken Berry! (I super stock up at Halloween!)
I miss intermissions during movies that run over two hours.
I miss seeing a first-run movie at a single-screen movie palace.
For that matter, I miss vent windows in cars and barber shops where you can get a shave, but I guess those are better suited for IMHO.
Seymour Presents, starring the late Larry Vincent on KHJ and KTLA, Los Angeles.
The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson (followed by Late Night with David Letterman and Tomorrow with Tom Snyder).
Marvel Comics by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Steve Gerber, Gene Colan, Don Heck, Bill Everett, Steve Engelhart, Doug Moench, Herb Trimpe, Mike Ploog, Marv Wolfman, Frank Brunner, John and Marie Severin, etc.
Mad, published by Bill Gaines, with Don Martin, Dave Berg, Antonio Prohias, and the old Usual Gang of Idiots.
120 Minutes and Half Hour Comedy Hour on MTV. Whatever happened to Tree?
I used to get the warm fuzzies from Hee Haw too, but I have a feeling I couldn’t really stand to here “Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast” and see people dressed in big barrels again.
I miss Speed Racer too, but I really miss Kimba the White Lion. I’ve seen videos of Kimba but I can’t justify spending the money on them unless my daughter is interested and she’s not.
Other things I miss, also . . .
Dance Fever Apparently a new version is on the way. It’ll never replace the original. It just ain’t the same without bad Disco and worse fashions.
Sha Na Na It’s kind of hard to believe that this novelty act riding the wave of 50’s nostalgia once had their own television show, but they did! My memories of it are vague, but I remember liking it!
Solid Gold Disco, dancers in skin-tight gold lame’ hot pants, and frequent appearance by the creepiest puppet ever, Madame, before the joke got old and long before she got her own sitcom.
My pet turtle, Mr. Sooey
School House Rocks
Simple arcade games like Galaga, Pole Position, and Pac-Man
Kurt Cobain, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Jack Lemmon.
Packs of baseball cards with bubble gum included.
We used to have this soda called “SKI”. I loved that stuff, a citrus-type soda. It was great.
Kick the Can.
Sour Cream -n- Chives Doritos
Drive-Ins (there are still a few of them around, but they’re just not the same
I already miss Gregory Peck
Johnny Sakko and His Flying Robot
Having a REAL summer…3 months to play, go swimming, be bored, etc until school starts back up in August!!!
Ah, Drive-Ins . . .
The last time I went to a Drive-In, the snacks were actually edible and they were showing movies I’d heard of. It’s true, you really can’t go home again . . .
The Hudson Brothers Show
*TW3 (That Was The Week That Was) * with A. Whitney Brown
Fridays a really wild SNL competitor
Planet of the Apes TV series
Ethyl gas
Hand cranked ice cream with home grown peaches and strawberries.

Catching crawdads, too
Penny candy
The Hudson Brothers!!!
Wow, I had forgotten all about them…we watched their Saturday morning show every week, and also had their album. God we played that thing all the time. I thought that Chucky Margolis was the funniest skit of all time. I’m sure my parents regretted buying it because we were always playing that song Raz-zle Daz-zle at full blast.
This millenium’s connection to the Hudson Brothers: Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson are the children of Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson! I wonder if they ever ask their uncle (Mark? Brett?) to “do” Chucky Margolis for them??!!
Anyone remember loose leaf binder paper reinforcements? Not the sticker kind, the cloth ones you had to lick that had the funny tasting glue?
They should bring those back.
I work for Mr. Fandango…
