Re: Do You Remember..........?

Every Saturday at my house we go through the same thing...my six year old wants to watch kid shows (no cable or satellite - downstairs anyway) and there is nothing on. When I was little we watched Saturday morning cartoons almost every weekend and the cartoons seem so much better back then. Anyway, all that to say I remember Saturday cartoons. Scooby Doo, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Archies, Super Heroes, Johnny Quest... Then at noon American Bandstand came on which I didn't really watch very often. Another show that would come on later was Kooka(sp), Fran & Ollie.

Someone mentioned the Chrissy doll who's hair could be made short or long. My sister had Chrissy and I still have Velvet w/box and the hair still works. I brought her home with me a few weeks ago from my trip to Washington state. When I put her away the last time I had braided her hair and put a curler at the end of each braid never thinking it would be about 30 years before I would take her out of her box again. I looked on Ebay and she is going for between 30 and 40 dollars right now. I am not ready to part with her. I have a Midge Barbie too from around 1965. The Memories.... 8)

Riding your bike twenty miles from home and it was no big deal.

buying a soda, 2 candy bars, two snack cakes, gum and a MAD magazine for less than a buck.

playing with baseball cards that are worth hundreds of dollars today
.
playing doctor without it being called a molestation

when people on tv never when to the bathroom, got pregnet, farted or said anything about sex but smoked everywhere even in the hospital.

i also remember being spit on by black people because i was white

and seeing pictures of brothers of my friends in the living room who died in vietnam

Buying a soda, 2 candy bars, a snack cake, gum, a pixie stik and a issue of MAD magazine for under a buck.

playing doctor with the girl down the block was a part of growing up and not a sex crime.

the draft so you can die in another country for people who didn't want you there

being spit on by black people just because you were white

Mountainman 2,

I have memories of going to my Grandma's on Sunday to watch her color TV. We would also watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Wonderful World of Disney and then Bonanza. Remember the NBC peacock? I think of that when ever I think of those Sunday nights, it was very colorful.

Would I be the only one of a decade of eyes squeezed shut in every pic? "CYNTHIA! NOW turn around and face the sun! Now SMILE! Hold it...hold it..."

The only thing I dreaded more than being photographed was volcanic lava and the idea of appendicitis surgery...

Come on post a pic.......I hardly have many of my baby pic's.....

Re: Do You Remember..........?

How about Crusader Rabbit and Mighty Manfred, The Wonder Dog? Used to put a piece of clear plastic stuff on the tv screen. Then, during an episode you were asked to help out. You would use a grease pencil or China marker to draw a line for the characters to use as a bridge to cross canyons etc.. I saved them plenty of times. Have Beanie and Cecil been mentioned? Bulwinkle? Remember saying the pledge in school and, for those of you from the Midwest, goiter tablets?

I remember the clay smell, and also the god awful smell of the rubber mats used for kindergarten 'nap time'! But most of all, I remember the smell of the ASBESTOS they would mix with water, and hand out to all the kids in grade 3 to model stuff out of!!!
But what REALLY raises my hackles today, (this may only be in the nanny state of Socialist Canada mind you) is before virtually every 1950's and 60's TV western, and ANY hunting show currently on television is the vocal comment "WARNING THIS PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN VIOLENCE - (OR MAY NOT BE SUITIBLE FOR CHILDREN) PARENTAL GUIDENCE IS ADVISED" What the hell kind of crap is that? Back in the 50's and 60's kids were NOT shooting each other like they are today..
50's and 60's shows were never a problem in the 50's and 60's..
