I saw your cartoons on re-runs. I remember when I was young being so impressed by R Reagan's speech after the Challenger blew up, that I wanted to be president. It was either that or the comment he made in a Saturday morning news-flash after someone had shot him or something, "Lets let the kids get back to their cartoons!" That man cared about the things I cared about. He was my hero! I mean all sorts of people were saying all sorts of bad things about him all the time and he would just play into their comments as if it were a joke.
I don't think I would have gotten into Economics(and informally studied Int'l Manipulations) if I hadn't been so impressed by Reagan that I wanted to be president(Of course, the fact I was a half-step away from being killed when I was 7 and hit by a car while crossing the street, also played a role in making me believe that God had spared my life for a reason...).

My mom and dad used to perform shadow plays for us on the cave wall.

| Posted 5/4/2003 6:33 PM (GMT -6) | | One of my early favorites on TV was Howdy Doody. 
I used a slide rule in college.
This makes me pretty ancient, but I think Laika’s got me beat.

Not if you were the teacher.
June is smoking with a vengeance
She's trying to look like Patti Smith
I think she's trying to make a statement
But neither she nor I knows what it is

Boy, it doesn't take a boy-wonder rocket scientist to figure that one out: it was . . . the bottle she lived in!? (Am I right? I say, am I right?) Okay, wait. Let me try again. It was . . . Agnus Moorehead. (Rats, wrong TV show!) Um . . . hmmm . . . (couldn't have been her bod. No, that's not it.)
Okay, maybe it does take a rocket scientist!
Yeah, right!
Hands down: Jeannie ruled!

 I watched the reruns, too cool  !

| Posted 5/6/2003 11:19 AM (GMT -6) | | Stark, just goes to show you that honorman is THOROUGHLY MALE. By the way, I LOVED "Charlies Angels." As a matter of fact I had a Kate Jackson poster (she wore a yellow sweater) on my bedroom wall when I was 10. I actually use to kiss her on the lips every so often...in private of course.

| Posted 5/6/2003 6:08 PM (GMT -6) | | | I remember two things about watching TV in our old living room. One was the fearful anticipation of when the monkeys came on the scene in "The Wizard of Oz." (What was it about them that was scary?) And the other was something that did not look scary in the least. That was President Johnson announcing the "Gulf of Tontine resolution" in 1964. War is scary. And part of the tragedy is the difficulty in paying for both "guns and butter." Johnson had an aggressive plan for the homefront, as you might know. | | Back to Top | | |

THE DONNY AND MARIE SHOW
By the time I was in third grade, I was in love with Donny Osmond. I actually dreamt of marrying him.
(I didn't know he was Mormon) Whew! That was a close one!

You're a hoot. Your posts make me laugh and smile. Also, notice in the picture that Miss. Kitty and the other fella are looking "up too" Matt Dillon? Notice that Matt Dillon is looking off in the distance? Like, is he THE ONE OR WHAT??

It's like he's got something on his right ear.
That's Chester (Dennis Weaver), later replaced by Festus.
Saturday nights, after our weekly bath, our parents let us watch the opening gunfight of Gunsmoke before we went to bed. I knew I was getting older when they let me watch the whole show. I was probably 39 then.

LOL! Too much! Like, "What the hell is that!?"
It was exactly the same way for me when I was a kid.

I was SO scared of those stupid flying monkeys. Gave me nightmares!
We moved from WV to CA in 1961. I was 5 and refused to take a nap the entire drive through Kansas. I was terrified that a tornado would sweep us up car and all and drop us who knows where.
My favorite game as a child was playing with paper dolls. I adored them and was angry for years with my mother for throwing them away. They'd be worth a fortune now.
My favorite tv show, tough call, we watched Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers, Lassie, the Winchell Mahoney hour, Lost in Space, Batman, Star Trek (back when Shatner couldn't act--come to speak of it he still can't), and Roy Rogers, Zoro, the Rifleman, etc. All of this was the first time around, not on Nick at Night or remakes. My mom was a huge Andy Williams fan so we would sit and watch Andy Williams, the King Family, etc. My dad loved John Wayne and all the Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood. I was partial to musicals. TV time was fun as Daddy would pop some pop corn and let us drink RC colas. Sometimes we pigged out on cashew nuts (I'm allergic to them now).
Speaking of nightmares. I remember one show, locally produced (I don't think it was national but could be wrong), called Hobo Kelly. It was a kids show that shamelessly fed our greedy little desires to have the most toys. This woman dressed as a male hobo would introduce cartoons, etc., but we mostly waited for her to turn the giant basket full of postcards praying that she would draw our name. The prize was a pile of toys that rivaled adult game shows in our eyes anyway. I had nightmares of her laughing cruelly at me for being a loser.
One night I dreamt that I won an imaginary drawing and my closet was magically turned into a toy elevator. I could push the button and the shelves would go up and down endlessly revealing more and more toys. I woke up and ran to my closet and found it full of clothes as usual. If I were to dream this now it would be books instead of toys. LOL
Oh and I did love Cecil and Beanie!
and I do know what an LP is and have several, though no turn table to play them on. Even a collection of Letterman albums, and an old Diana Ross and the Supremes album, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Chicago, and virtually all of John Denver's albums. Much much more.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane,
Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
Pax,
Jean | | Back to Top | | |
