So... When you were a little kid (say, five to 10 years old), what were your favorite TV shows, or, at least, shows that were shown on TV? (That would allow inclusion of that "B" movies that were serialized for the small screen.) For a little while, I liked Howdy Doody, but I never had the patience for the slow movement of the show. I loved Kukla, Fran and Ollie; the Lone Ranger; Hopalong Cassidy; Tom Corbett, Space Cadet; Mr. Wizard, and a few others. When I was a bit older, I watched the Mickey Mouse Club. I thought the show was inane, but I had the pre-teen hots for Annette, the first girl I "saw" regularly who had tits. Also listened at night to my little radio to tune into The Lone Ranger. Now *that* was a great radio show. What were your favorites? "Supercar."- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - On Tuesday and Wendsday night. Batman, and always Soupy Sales, and sometimes we could get "Cowboy Bob" in Indianapolis on Channel 4. Soupy Sales was *the* big hero in Huntington, West Virginia. He lived there for a while. Don't ask me how I know that. Cowboy Bob is another show with which I have no familiarity. Are you familiar with the radio personality, Ed Walker? He has a syndicated public radio show called the Big Broadcast, on which he plays radio comedy and drama shows from the 30's, 40's and 50's. It's fun to visualize in your mind's eye what only your ears are picking up. William Conrad was another ubiquitous radio personality. *I think his most notable radio role was as Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke." Also the nararator for Rocky and Bullwinkle! |

The original, not the re-intro... Yikes! |

That was probably a valid concern on behalf of the CIA. Look at Putin's behavior a week ago when their star skater wasn't awarded the gold. Russians don't take loses or ribbing easily. |

Then here comes some of the shows that had a mysterious hat clled the "Kerwood Derby" which was a play on Gary Moore's side kick named "Derwood Kirby" . *Kirby didn't like it and had his lawyers contact the creators of Rocky and gave them a cease letter threatening a lawsuit over the mis-use of the name. They wrote back and said, "Go ahead and sue us, we need the publicity!" which incidently would have made Kirby look like an idiot for suing a well-liked cartoon for defamation. BTW, in the short-cuts between the feature cartoons, Rocky would walk out on stage and Bullwinkle would be sitting there in some wizard hat and gazing into a crystal ball. Then Bullwinkle would say; "Eenie Meenie, Chilli Beanie. The spirits are about to speak!" Did you ever figure out that line? *Yes, it does have a meaning.... Well, fill us in then man... Scotty -- Can I haz Cheezeburger?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - OK, the key to the phrase is "Chilli - Beanie" Then comes "The Sprits are about to speak!" In other words? "Pull my finger" ?;^ ) |
