Me too, from mid 50s to mid 60s. Hated Steve Allen.

I remember every one, including Ike getting elected in 1952. What was Nixon's dog's name?

Great video.I was born in 1956 so I remember much of it.Things were great until those fugging beatels came along.

Born in 51, remember lots of it.
Has the world ever changed.

As we say, those were the days. Remember them well.

Watching stuff like this makes you aware of how prevalent smoking was in those days. It seemed like cigarette adds were on tv every 15 min all day long.

Cool video.... I was born in '50 so I remember most of it. Back about 1956 I recall asking my father, "who's Ike?". I knew who Eisenhauer was but couldn't figure out who "Ike" was. But I knew lots of folks liked Ike. And cigarettes were so prevalent it seemed like almost every adult male and many females were smokers. Us kids even had the candy cigarettes, remember those ?

Same here. (There are few things that are "mis-decaded".)

Born in 53, remember most of that!

For those of us that were around during that time.Remember the JFK assassination,the Beatels and how all the girls went crazy over them and all the long hair rock bands that followed with the drugs,protest,anti-war and hippies.My how quickly things changed in this country.Read the lyrics of this John Lennon song Imagine and compare it to what the democrat party is pushing today https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnlennon/imagine.html .Then the 45 goals of the Communist party to take over America. https://rense.com/general32/americ.htm Is it all part of a big plan?

Born in ‘50; I remember a lot of that. I do remember the candy cigarettes too.

Images will not work tonight, James Dean, T shirt, Camel cigarettes rolled in the sleeve.

I remember most all of it. I never played chutes and ladders but i remember it and most all of the people on here. I was born in January, 48 so I was around for most of it. I love the ,cars. One thing I don 't see much are Pontiacs. It's all Cadillacs, Olds, Fords, Lincolns, Chryslers, Buicks, Chevys but not many Pontiacs. Hell, they ushered in the Muscle Cars. 389 was the engine in the stock '59, '60, '61, '62 , all the way through 66. In 64 they stuck it in the light weight Tempest and the Muscle Car was born. Then for '67 they bored it out to 400. GTOs are everywhere but Where are the full size battleships? Catalina's, Grand Prixs, Star Chiefs, Bonnevilles? I watch the reality build and restoration shows, Bitchin' Rides, Iron Resurection, Overhaulin', Graveyard Cars, Junk Yard Empire, and Texas Metal, on Motor Trend channel, but they never do a Pontiac. Well, Bitchin' Rides did an old Pontiac, a '54 once but never anything else. I love those ol' battleships.

Anyway, I loved the 50s and 60s and all the music and cars. I also loved the guns, which I was too young to buy until the mid 60s. I think about back when I could have bought a pre-'64 Model 70 brand new for under $130 it makes me sick to think about it.

Born in '40 so I remember it pretty well, all except the TV stars and programs, our home did not have tv until after I went into the AF in '58.

In that era, people were getting the money and time to travel. Highways were being built and motels were being built everywhere. Travel was getting a lot more convenient. They wanted big highway cars with bigger trunks for their luggage. I remember Fred and Ethel from I Love Lucy doing a car ad. Fred opened the trunk and said 'Wow. Look at all that room. You could put a bowling alley in there'. The size of the trunk was a major selling point for family cars.

Born in 46. It was a great time to be a rural white kid.

I was born in 1958.
I had a Nixon/Lodge button pinned to my diaper.

I always felt like I'd come late to the party.
