you game? Starsky & Hutch

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Hello, Friday! Hello, nuther ’70s TV show board game! This time, it’s badass left coast detectives in a testosterone-fueled Ford Gran Torino. Yes, my friend, the original Starsky & Hutch…

The car, aka The Striped Tomato, was a star in its own right.

Object: Be the first to stop the mad bomber by collecting all four matching cards.

Did I mention I haven’t even ripped the cellophane open yet? I just can’t bring myself to do it! This game is mint with a capital PEPPA.

Leather jackets. Double denim. Macrame plant hangers. A streetwise informant named Huggy Bear. What didn’t this show have? Other than a short man in a white jacket yelling “De plane! De plane!”, I mean.

Watch the first episode. Sing along to David Soul’s big hit from 1976. Geek out in an S&H car of your own. That’s right, live the dream. Why not? It’s Friday.

you game? The Partridge Family

Friday, February 4th, 2011

I’m really digging this Friday ’70s TV show board games theme. So fun to peek at them again after having them packed away for the last three years. Dial your Way Back Machine to 1971, kids! How ridic is this Partridge Family game?

The flouncy shirts. The flare-leg pants. The shag haircuts. Ah the life of a show-biz family on tour is so exciting! But wait… where’s mom’s tambourine?

Object: The Partridge Family has finished playing at a local arena and must hurry to their bus. The winner is the first member of the family to reach the bus.

Oh, David Cassidy, you’re soooo dreamy. I Think I Love You.

you game? Welcome Back, Kotter

Friday, January 28th, 2011

Yay, it’s Friday! That means I’m pulling another 70s TV show board game out of my insanely packed closet to take another whiff of vintage with you. Ready? This week: Welcome Back, Kotter. Breathe it in…

Object: Be your favorite Sweathog and be the first to complete the expression “Up your nose with a rubber hose!”

For those who may not have seen the show (omg), “Up your nose…” was their go-to insult. The game comes with a green hose but no warning to not actually shove this object in your schnoz.

If you’d like to hum the theme song while you scroll, here it is.

you game? Charlie’s Angels

Friday, January 21st, 2011

I can’t explain how I ended up with all these ’70s TV show board games. They’re cool, sure (and remarkably cheesy), but I have no room for them. Should I keep them? Help me decide! This week: Charlie’s Angels.

Object: Trap the villain with your beautiful team of Angels. After three games, the player with the most points wins.

omg, roller skates!

That’s from the infamous roller derby episode. Here, in all its feathered and bra-less glory.

and this picture, ftw?…

From the outset of the show, they pushed hard for Kelly to be the hottie — she snagged all the best shots, even in this game…

But I think we all know who the real star was…

you game? Space 1999

Friday, January 14th, 2011

It’s Friday! Last week that meant The Six Million Dollar Man. Digging further back into my closet of obsessive collecting of 1970s TV show board games, this week I offer you Space 1999. Why? Because I can.

Object: Be the first commander to land all your eagles on your target planet.

you game? The $6M Man

Friday, January 7th, 2011

In my very first post last February, I showed how our entire household is a maze of boxes and piles awaiting an actual remodel. There are things in those boxes I haven’t seen in three years, including my inexplicable collection of ’70s TV show boardgames — still haven’t decided if I’m keeping those, although I guess they make sense in a ’70s house.

This week I pulled them out to appreciate their cheesey goodness and will now share one with you every Friday until I run out. Ready? Let’s start with The Six Million Dollar Man…

Object: Each player controls a bionic man — but only one is the real Six Million Dollar Man. The first player to complete his four assignments wins the game, proving he’s the Six Million Dollar Man.
