Poor old Icky and Ajax, yes I saw them years ago on Channel 11 where they had the monster and frankenstein show,..Ickey would play Frankentein on Sautrday at 10 in the evening,...sad but true we miss this stuff from the tube....more hope and wishes for these folks....A/T...growing up in in Texas as a kid in the 1950's and 1960's was a charm...
