Remeber the View Master? I still have my childhood one with many envelopes of dics. I'm pretty sure Nanny and the Professor is one of them. I know I have Family Affair.


I had one too... it was a casualty of my move West.

My wife's father used to take stereo family pictures, and put them into a viewmaster.  That's kind of eerie, but cool, when you see them that way.

I had fairy tales (hey, I was 5 or 6).  Very scary -- Hansel & Gretel pushing the witch into the oven in 3-D!  I also had the Kenner Give-A-Show Projector, basically a glorified flashlight and you put filmstrips in front of the lens and projected stuff on the wall...

I had a bunch of Charlie Brown viewmaster reels.  Seeing the Peanuts gang in three dimensions was always troubling to me, for some reason.

Also, fwiw, rapper Ludacris sent out Viewmasters with slides to some rock crits to promote his latest album, Red Light Special.  (I didn't get one, but I did get to see one.  Funny guy.)

Dana Stevens (aka "sufergirl") is Slate's TV critic and she RULES!  Her piece last week about why Entourage is overrated (a premise with which I concur) was genius.  She even dissed Tim Goodman by name!

Not an original bit of swag, I'm afraid. We've got an REM viewmaster at home, a promo from New Adventures in Hi Fi.

Like all of us did, it appears, I had a viewmaster as a kid too. I had reels from Disneyland, Marineworld, the Grand Canyon, and Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs.
