Thread: Shows you watched as a kid

Nothing beats the beginning of The Rifle Man with that 94 with the big ring!! Then it was the Munsters,The Beverly Hillbillys,Get Smart,Sea Hunt,WOW I forgot , there were ALOT of shows back then!!

My faves at the time were The Rifleman! Beverly Hillbillies and Red Skelton, Freddie the Freeloader kicked butt!

The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, The Honeymooners, Sgt Preston of the Yukon, Rin Tin Tin, Gunsmoke when Dennis Weaver was Chester and it was a half hour. Perry Mason, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, George Burns & Gracie Allen. Later shows, Lee Marvin in M-Squad, Steve McQueen in Wanted Dead Or Alive, Richard Boone in Have Gun Will Travel. Still later, Wagon Train with Ward Bond as the wagon master and Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates, Columbo, and of course The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchc*ck Presents. To name a few.

Lost in space, Gilligan's Island, Alfred Hitch**ck presents, The Twilight zone..
In the New York Area, The used to have something called, The 430p Movie, All week long would be a theme, Like Vincent Price week, or Abbott and Costello...
And on Sunday's at 1130am, they would always show an Abbott and Costello movie...

I bet Jimmy remember's....

Yeah I remember, what was cool was when they hadn't started doing 'made for tv movies' yet. They showed a lot of movies on tv back then from the '30s, and '40s. Some from the early '50s but they were almost new back then. I also used to love to watch the fights three nights a week IIRC. Don Dunphy usually doing the ringside announcing. Brings a tear to my eye.

Then there were the westerns you had to watch with pop:Bonanza,Rawhide,Gunsmoke,then later on it was Rat Patrol and Combat.

Geez you guys must be old
I suppose we remember The Adventures of Jim Bowie & also Daniel Boone ?

Only in fight films later. When I got interested in it Floyd Paterson was champion after Rocky retired. I saw a slue of them though.Besides the really famous ones like Sugar Ray Robinson, probably the greatest that ever did it, I saw lesser known 'ham & eggers' a lot like Ralph 'Tiger' Jones, Gaspar Ortega, Rory Calhoun, Henry Hank. Champs like Joe Brown, Carlos Ortiz, Emile Griffith, Dick Tiger, Gene Fullmer, Paul Pender, the Canastota onion farmer, the great Carmen Basilio. Sonny Liston of course and Cleveland Williams.... I could go on and on but I guess you already know that.
