my earliest memory is a nightmare at 3 years old (1977) i had from watching spectreman.. im pretty sure it was the episode where gori teaches the boxer-turned-monster to use spectreflash , near the finale) i remember running around and my parents trying to calm me in the living room but i thought i was seeing huge mountains of ants behind the couch...
@dareason27 You may be right but it seems to me that channel 66 did not exist yet and it was in channel 44 back in 1979 that they used to have commercials about spectreman. Perhaps my memory is fading and I would have to look back. Anyway, it brings back great memories.
@hovelarde I looked in google and it was in channel 44. There are other people who have also posted and remember it in channel 44 when they used to also show speed racer in that channel too. Wow, brings back great memories as a child growing up in Chicago.
I remember watching this and it would say to be comtinued on a friday then the following monday they would rerun something I already saw and gave up watching this show
I usta watch this wen I lived in Atlanta in the 80s... I got the theme on a playlist- Spectreman will always rule... Seriously, don't Spectreman kinda remind ya of the Blackzilla skit on Chappelle's Show? lol
WOW!!!!!!!!! Lots of people from Chicago here. Im from Chicago and i liked to watch spectreman every day after school. spectreman was the shit back in the days. thanks for posting vid.
I am from Brazil and I used to watch Spectreman around 5 pm back in 1980/81 at channel...hmm..channel...LOL, funny is that I broke my old Rubik's cube into several piece while watching it sometime.
Actually I believe it was channel 60 before it turned to Home Shopping Network and then it moved to channel 50..lol. But by then spectreman was off the air.
Im originally from Chicago and I remember when this used to come on Channel 66..lol Before the high tech cable and stuff. When you had that black and white TV with the hanger on it with the UHF little dial above the Big dial. CLASSIC STUFF!
wasnt this first shown in chicago on the afterschool lineup of WSNS channel 44 before they became exclusively spanish language? i think it was right before the time they started showing the scrambled signal of paid programming "ONTV" in the evenings, late 70s early 80's.
Dudes, thanks for the memories, Spectreman was the BEST! Channel 44 in late '70's here in Chicago, I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers it. How about Johnny Sokko with the flying robot, OMG, I get get some good shit and sit down and watch these again. 420
Used to get stoned and watch this on TBS (back before it was TBS) when I was in college in 1978. A villain who is a gorilla in a blond wig and a pink pantsuit. Yowza!
here the flash like a flame faster than a plane mystery with a name spectreman power from space he'll save the human race guess we'll never know the face of spectreman we will never know the source of his power or his force as he guides this planet's course spectreman! OMFG Spectreman pwns your mom in bed
Hah hah!!! Yeah... Channel 44 in Chicago!!! I forgot the channel number, but that was it... I also watched Battle of the Planets, and the live action Spiderman tv show around the same time as this... I was less than 5 years old... Nostalgia is a lovely thing...
Channel 44! I was there too! Chicago in the late 70s. The other show was the Space Giants. That was on in the early 70s then vanished. Channel 44 went Spanish shortly after Spectreman ended. Thanks for the BIGTIME flashback.
I used to watch on Channel 44 too!! I'd vacation in Chicago every summer and I'd stay glued to 44! There was another show that I loved. It was about a family of rocketships that fought evil. I think that they lived in a volcano or something. What was the name of that show? Ring any bells?
Spectremn was my hero. I loved that show. Same deal with me, another chicagoan who watched it on channel 44. that was an awesome channel. remember samurai sundays? and music videos before mtv came out?
to be honest this guy does the best deals on spectreman dvds, all shows in english, in nice cases and remastered, plus you get original pilot episode in japanese http://www.ultramanuniverse.com/spectre.html
In the 70s in Chicago it was channel 44. In the 80s it was 3 channels 66 then 60 then 50
