Rockin' the Bill Bixbys

"1973.

What were my parents thinking when they got me this outfit?" (via)

Is this seriously a question?? Did the man not look at the curtains behind him?

More importantly--this photo made me instantly think of Bill Bixby. No--not as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk. I'm speaking, of course, of Bill's role in this little known gem, Goodnight Beantown. Recognize these glasses from anywhere?

That's right. Our little friend above was simply rockin' the Bill Bixbys.

Tacky in the 80s

"Tacky in the 80s.

What was my mom thinking dressing me in pink ruffles?" (via)

Is that all she has to say about this? REALLY?? If I didn't have a cold, I would be doing a recitation or ditty FOR SURE. Instead, a bit of poetry:

Freaked out baby, lying there

Starting to become aware.

"Will I grow to be like them?"

Holy Crap-this photo is a gem.

Dad in t-shirt, Mom in shock,

never expecting such a flock.

All sitting low against the "sky"

The kids? As teenagers, they'd rather die!

Girl in ruffles, tongue is out.

A bit of chaos there's no doubt.

Missing teeth and funky clothes,

So much here I could expose.

The whitest family I've ever seen,

And now they grace my little screen.
