I am always looking for bits and pieces of Twin Cities television history. This pinback button popped up on ebay recently and I snagged it.


Of course, we know Willie Ketchem was the sidekick for Clancy the Cop throughout the 1960s and well into the 1970's.

Here are a few photos and comments from Bob that I never got around to posting. I asked him about Major Mars promoting model kits. Later Bob would bring back Major Mars for a short film in the 70's.

Here's a few of Bob Burns' Aurora kits. He sent these the site back in 2012 along with a few other images.


I just found this photo of the old Aurora Frankenstein kit I did when it first came out.

The great Bob Burns would send me photos and stories for the CultTVman website. Here's some wonderful photos of Bob promoting the Aurora monsters back in the mid-1960's. Of course, Kogar would eventually become a kit from Moebius Models.

Reposting this in honor of Bob's passing. I will always cherish the time I spent with Bob, visiting his house in LA, chatting with him at shows like Wonderfest, and the thrill of meeting him (with King Kong) back in 1995.
