Even as a little kid, I noticed the repeated cliff hanger with fraying rope in Fury, and "stuck on the bottom and running out of air" in Seahunt.
Now as an old man making up stories for grandkids, I steal plots and use every ploy.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
I remember the Mouseketeers being on in the am before school. Captain Kangaroo. All the westerns Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, The Guns of Will Sonnet, Sugarfoot, Lancer. Daniel Boone, Stoney Burke, Batman, on Saturday nights it was Lawrence Welk, on Sunday nights it was Red Skelton and Ed Sullivan. The nightly news was always Walter Cronkite. In the afternoons after school there was the Filippo show, showed old movies like Charlie Chan and I remember watching The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I forgot to mention the show I lived for The American Sportsman!

Very first thing I ever saw on a TV was a boxing match at a neighbors house. Their new TV was in a ornate wood console like old radios were, had a round screen somewhere between 9" and 12" in diameter.
Grownups had full control of the television back when I was a kid.
Andy Griffin and Daniel Boone. My father watched Lawerance Welk every Saturday...... It was " Wonderful .... Wonderful .... Wonderful " ........ NOT REALLY . I hated it !!!
