Ahhh, the mind is the 2nd thing to go.

I think you are thinking about Flipper. The dad was a Park Ranger.



That was one also. No, the one I am thinking about wasn't "Flipper".

Wow, listen to how terrible "The Everglades" theme song was.

The Everglades theme song starts at the 1 min. mark.

Sometimes I'm grateful my 4 years in the Navy kept me safe from this
stuff. But I admit I liked TV enough, and cared about money so little
I bought a little portable TV from Sears in '66 or so.
Cost $150 as I recall. Ran about 100' of antenna wire up an open
hatch to get reception in Norfolk. Had the ends twisted onto a coat
hanger, which was hooked onto the hatch wheel as I remember.
We'd gather around my bunk and watch it. "Man From U.N.C.L.E."
and "The Wild West" were popular.
After a few days a sneaky and jealous deck ape cut the antenna wire
while about 8 of us were watching a show.
Took it home a few days later on leave and I think one of my sisters
used it a few hours and it stopped working. When I got out I paid
$50 to get it fixed and it lasted only a few days, so I tossed it.
Man, I could figure out ways to waste money.

That should have won the 'Worst in Show' category. Horrible.
