Cheer's was good, MASH, Bonanza


MY MAN! Nailed the station and time too. Most impressive! 'I Was a Teenage Werewolf' with Michael Landon type stuff to the Japanese cheeseball monster and horror flicks (the Mushroom Island one was great wink ) and all the traditional Bela Lugosi/Lon Chaney/Vincent Price flicks. One of the very best random ones was 'Attack of the Killer Shrews'. wink

How about Night Gallery on either 68 or 56? Then of course the Alfred Hitchcock Hour and Twilight Zone...

Thanks for the grin. These days, no one but my brother and I have any idea when CDF is mentioned. smile

When we first got TV (me a teenager) we received two channels. Bismarck was clear, Minot was snowy. Fortunately, Star Trek came thru on Bismark.

Now in Kotzebue, Alaska, I have a hundred plus channels, and the Weather Channel is the best of 'em...

Watching Bonanza right now and just finished Gunsmoke. Later it will be MASH then turned off. They are on daily and have become a bit of a routine down here for me.

Beverly Hillbillies, Lost in Space, Daniel Boone & Davy Crockett. I think Fess Parker played both of them.
And I couldn't wait to see Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom every week.

Most episodes went some thing like this....

Marlin .... "let's stand back & see if Jim can ride that rhino"

Jim .... "somebody get this big fugger off of me!" laugh

I'm old enough to remember those days, and I don't miss them one bit!
Here in Florida, we have a TV station (WMOR-32) which plays some old sitcoms like The Patty Duke Show and Mister Ed.
My God! Those 1960's sitcoms were so lame!
TV sitcoms have been steadily improving over the years, starting with Mary Tyler Moore, Taxi, and Cheers.
Somewhere along the line, sitcom producers discovered they didn't need laughtracks to have a funny show (somehow The Big Bang Theory didn't get the memo).
When I was a kid back in the 1960's, I noticed several things about Bonanza which struck me as strange.
First, these supposedly rich ranchers always wore the same clothes, year in and year out.
Also, any woman who fell in love with any of the Cartwrights was doomed. She'd be killed off by the end of the show. That's just sick!
Lastly, any time a Cartwright traveled to a distant town on business, he'd always be arrested and falsely accused of murder or something.
It would seem the writers on that show were stuck in a rut!

Doggone. I must be hangin' out with a bunch of kids. shocked I not only remember almost all those shows, try these. How about Kukla, Fran and Ollie? CHannel 5, KPIX in San Francisco, the only game in town for whatever crap they broadcast, that's what you got. Came on the air about 2PM as I recal and that blasted puppet show ran until 6PM when we got some kind of news program. There was the Kraft Playhouse IIRC on Thursadys which was pretty good. The one I remember was 1984 where the pictures of Big Brother looked a lot like Ronald Reagan. After about a year we got another TV station, KGO channe 7. Programming started to improve and when KROC, channel started up we really had choices. cool I've picked up a few DVD's of old TV shows, one had Dragnet and Peter Gunn and I have a small set of Hopalong cassidy episodes as well.
We no longer watch TV per se, but run movies from our collection. We cancelled the cable (Comcast) and the commie newspaper just about a year ago and it's done wonders for the better half and me as well. Probably the best move we've ever made.

Encore has a dedicated Western channel. During the late afternoon they show The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Maverick and a couple of others.

I'm a big Maverick fan.

I liked to laugh after a hard day and The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo made me do just that.....

One of my favorites from the past.

Isn't that aircraft the F-104, which the USAF never used?

Locally they showed an aircraft flying overhead with the message"Sleep well tonight, your Air Force is watching"

Bonanza SUCKED. Just go back and watch it NOW. Liberal horsecrap even then was rampant on that show.

It was PC before there was PC.

Then it got worse. I can't even watch it now, it's so bad.


I can't watch MASH, either, liberal crap dressed in OD, is all it is.
