I'm a huge fan of this show, which ran from 1980-1984, and whose hosts included 3 multi-talented stars: John Davidson, Cathy Lee Crosby and Fran Tarketon.

Along the same lines as "That's Incredible" was another show that dealt with true-life oddities, namely the show "Ripley's Believe It or Not." Do you collect those too?

I collect Sideshow memorabilia such as on Siamese twins, etc. There is a 1930s film called Freaks which featured actual real-life freaks and so was banned in some countries. But nowadays it is considered a classic.
