Well, those who developed Rocky and Bullwinkle, were probably the only
people at the time to be contacted by the CIA to eliminate characters
from their program. Mr. Big, Boris Baddenoff and Natasha, not counting
other assorted spies ( BTW, did you ever notice that the jet that Mr.
Big flew in looked stragly a kin to a Mig fighter?) *were seen as a
threat to peace negotiations with the Russians during the "cold war"
and though ficticious, the CIA thought those characters might be
making fun of the Rooskie's and wanted them removed from the show so
the Rd's wouldn't get hacked off.

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...

OK, the key to the phrase is "Chilli - Beanie"

Then comes "The Sprits are about to speak!"

In other words?

"Pull my finger"

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?




We didn't have a TV when I was 10.

I did like an old show called "Life with Elizabeth" with Betty White
that was around about that time but I saw it at a neighbor's.
Of course there was Disney with Davy Crockett. I never watched any of
the kid zoo shows like Kookla, Capt Kangaroo or Buffalo Bob.

Anyone remember "The Beany and Cecil Show"?

Yes I do.. And who could forget sunday morning boredom with Timmy (was it) and
his talking dog? The early claymation type thing where Timmy always did the
right thing with help from his dog

We had one of the first TV's on the block. Lots of the kids would come
over
and watch the TV on Saturday mornings with my brother. I still do not
watch
a lot of TV, but as a kid, I would rather go ride my bike and play at the
creek.

My grandfather had a 1946 Dumont (the one with the little 8" screen in
a huge box with about a dozen knobs on it)
My mother thought it separated the family, cut into what we now call
"quality time" and she didn't want one in the house.
In retrospect I do think it was a good decision. We spent our evenings
playing games, doing puzzles or reading stories from those things we
used to have called books. My father even set up a little BB gun range
in the basement and we would have "shooting night".
I did see TV at other kid's houses but it was still fairly rare. "go
outside and play" was pretty much every mom's rule in those days if it
wasn't raining. .

Ours was a Magnavox. And we got it about 1948. Admitted the TV was better
in those days. Was aimed at people above the 18-25 age range and those who
had money as it cost a lot for a TV. The poor did not own them. One of
favorites later was Palidin "Have gun, will travel". Saw one the other day
on one of the Dish channels. Still hold up. Definately not a PC correct
show these days.

Yes, sometime around the fall of 1958. Peter Gunn also debuted that
season with sort of an edgy (for 1958) plot line and some cool jazz.
