Yup, Thats also because most high schools had a shooting range, and any number of boys had their rifle in the locker for the extra curricular activity.. Schools were 'not' the victim disarmament zones they are today!

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?

WOW, great memories. Mighty Manfred was Tom Terrific's dog. Crusader Rabbit's sidekick was Tag.

How about

King Leonardo and Odie Calonie
Winky Dink (magic screen)
Have Gun Will Travel (Paladin)
Restless Gun (John Payne)
Cisco Kid
Wild Bill Hickock (and Jingles)
Your Hit Parade (LSMFT)

Wagon Train
Dave Garroway
Gary Moore Show (with Durwood Kirby)
The Life of Riley (William Bendix)
My Little Margie
Ann Southern
The Loretta Young Show
Decembers Bride (Harry Morgan)
Men into Space
Thriller (Boris Karloff)
Your Show of Shows
Fury
You Asked For It
Make Room for Daddy
Flavor Straws (Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate)
Teem (like 7up)
Lincoln Logs
Mr. Machine
Flubber
Kukla, Fran and Ollie

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

Sorry,I thought of one that Monte might remember---A radio show called,Dr IQ.They gave away silver dollars ($5 - $25)to correct answers given by people in the audience.At the end they had a tongue-twister they gave real fast and if you at home could send in a correct copy,you could win 25 silver dollars.My sister sent it in but was not the first but she did get a box of 24 Mars bars who was the show's sponsor.

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

I remember when the closest town to me didn't turn on any Christmas Lights until the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was a big thing. Towns decorated with lights over the street then. Had a ceremony to throw the switch. It was cool.

Some towns still may do it.
