The things that make me feel old in this pic:
A) People think TV in the 70s was black and white.
B) Someone jokingly dated this show to the 70s.
C) Get off my lawn

When I posted this, the thought occurred to me that some people might not know who Elvira was too.

Nintendo owns the rights to the Ron Jeremy "film" involving Mario and never let it officially get released.

Even back then, she knew Luigi was the more attractive one.

Luigi is the best brother in every way. Especially that way. Real ones know what I'm talking about.

I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it's hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of "pre-processing", lol.

I'm sure they've seen one of her 3 pinball machines at the electro carnival arcade

Clock King from Batman: The Animated Series that came out 34 years ago

TV in the 70s was in color.

Horrible, unforgivable color.

The world was black and white until the 30s. Color was a still lil grainy in places in the 70s.

I mean, I know what you're talking about but I feel like you assume everybody has the same tastes and preferences as you, which is absolutely not the case. Some of us like short, stocky dudes with incredible facial hair and sexy accents.

I have no idea how me and my sister found it but it was basically peak childhood for me.
