Watched it when it came out, Just got our first TV just before. Thanks
Still available from Belle and Blade! I have it and watch it at least once a year or more. There is the Army version also and I don't remember the same exactly but like Victory on land or similar and still available.

Yeah, I remember when we got our first TV, early 50's, I was about 6 or 7. It had a round screen and a green tint. It was like watching on a radar screen. :D

Howdy Doody
Our Gang, " The Little Rascals"
The Lone Ranger
Oh, and Super Man.

Those were my big ones!

And then this locally produced show in OKC, OK.
NOW, This was BIG!! :rofl2:

Saw an episode of Pawn Stars where they bought a Bazooka for 350.00! HAR!
I shot a girl from across the street in the eye with one back in the day. Messed her up. Was made to go over and apologize!
Ahhhhhh memories! :rofl2:

Any ordinary child would have been happy with a capgun,,,but not a child from Texas,,Oh No,,,,they have to have Bazooka's,,,:rolleyes:


:D

Ha! I am figuring since they said from '63 that this is it! I remember setting it on the ground and sticking thumbs in to cock it.
Sucker would propel most anything! I reckon she was lucky I hit her with the ( included) blue rocket instead of other 'options' !
We launched everything we could find from it! :D

The old 1950s TVS ....... The screen would roll vertically, or horizontally and you had to get up and adjust a little knob to plumb it up ........ but as soon as you got up it would stop ....... and as soon as you sat back down it would start rolling again ...... those were the days . :banghead:

Jimmy, my dad had one of those for the family, it must have been old because the original antenna was gone, so he used a clothes hanger with a wadded up ball of aluminum foil on the end of it instead.

Born mid-70s; raised on a farm. Cable TV was not an option. So we'd have to take turns going outside to turn the antenna to pick up the different stations from the two closest cities.

I recently picked up a 1984 Montgomery Wards Holiday Wish Book. That will really take you back.
