Childhood TV Memories...
 

As rec.boats is no longer a newgroup devoted to discussions about boats,
boating and related subjects, I thought it might be fun to intro
a new topic that hopefully will not become "bait" for the usual
collection of thread destroyers here.

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?

Odd. If my dad owned a boat yard and shop, I'd spend all my waking hours
there. TV was for rainy days when you couldn't be outside doing things.

Well, well, well...it didn't take you long to try to trash the
discussion, did it? It's too bad you're hiding behind that skirt of
anonymity.

Not a show with which I have any familiarity. It does have a google

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

"The Time Tunnel" was another show that I enjoyed. It lasted only a
season, I believe. And then, there was "The Man from U.N.C.L.E..."

Everything seemed to stop on campus the night The Man from Uncle was on.
Huge crowds wherever there was a big screen color tv.

I didn't think much of that series, though I don't remember why. I did
like Mission Impossible. A distant cousin or uncle of my first wife was
a regular in the series in its early years, but I never met him.

Conrad was great on the radio. He had a voice you could not forget.

Question raised evocatively by Tim and H. Krause, titled,
"Rocky and Bullwinkle, Crusader Rabbit - their value."
Arbiter includes Clutch Cargo in this group of "cartoon shows."
The finding is that most single Bugs Bunny Looneytune cartoons contained
more art and wit than than the sum of all episodes of the above, and
that the introduction of the above presaged a coarsening of American
culture.
The finding is binding.
Recess.

The Arbiter

But you left out "Space Ghost' Which was inovative because they
actually paired the cartoons characters with the movement of human
lips.

And don't forget Captain Kangaroo with "Fred who lived on channel1"

Fred was like amoving etch-a-sketch drawing on a television.

The Arbiters recollection is that Clutch Cargo pioneered the utterly
horrible "technique" of putting moving human lips behind crude drawings
with a hole cut in the mouth, the lips mouthing unsychronized peurile
dialogue. As I said, a coarsening of the culture.
Sold a lot of Sugar Corn Pops though.
This is not a binding finding.

The Arbiter

The only thing I find binding about your analysis has to do with your
writing style.

Do you have some binding agent that's preventing you from taking a
crap or do you always write in the manner of a 50's tin robot with a
tight lower sphincter?

Do you need to dislodge a stick, branch or root of some kind? Can
John Herring lend you a hand? Maybe Jim the arsehole from lower
Alabama?

Wasn't "Tom Terrific" like that?

No, Tom Terrific with 'Mighty Manfred the wonder dog', was actualy a
seperate cartoon but was also shown on the same TV on the Captains
desk.

'Fred' was a silent character that would jsut sort of weave back and
forth at the knees and when CK would talk to him, he'd turn his head
an blink and nod occasionally. He really was unique for the technology
they had in the late 50's.

Yeah, I remember that thing on the screen... sort of.

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...

I'll say I don't really remember that much about Clutch Cargo except
the show had some wierd, yet soft bongo drums playing in the
background, and he spoke barely above a wisper.

touched and they flew over with paint balloons and bombed it so they could see

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.

That explains a lot Greg ;)

Scotty and I have only two words for this thread... Alyssa Milano, still
looking great after all these years too;)

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.

Oh well, I can listen to it without falling asleep;) When I was tiny I used to
sleep down near my moms feet in the pulpit of the chapel while she practiced
with the choir... I used to sleep right through it. There was also a door I
used to curl up behind.

And the reason the William Tell Overture was used, was because it is a great
sounding overture and there were no copyrights in effect when the radio show
started.
