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 :p
I suppose we remember The Adventures of Jim Bowie & also Daniel Boone ? :D
Jimmy, did you watch the Brockton Block Buster fight or was he before your time?Quote:

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. :oQuote:

I was born in 197.....something, I used to watch Star Trek, Gilligan's Island, Batman, the Pink Panther, Popeye, The Three Stooges, Our Gang. Lots of Western Films, The Lone Ranger, and Kung Fu movies on Saturdays.
How about the 'Soupy Sales Show" and "Uncle Johnny
Coons"?
Maybe they were just local Chicago-land shows, in the
50's.
Paul
And:
"Tales of Tomorrow"
"Twilight Zone"
"Omnibus"
I didn't think some of y'all had television back then
Anyway, most of what I enjoyed watching included Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Woody the Woodpecker
But I also endured some Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Jeopardy, Family Feud
I think I caught of few episodes of Sesame Street and the A-Team somewhere in there too
Yeah I guessed I watched some of those old boring reruns too like the Rifleman (paw, the bad guy's lookin' fer ya, paw), Andy Griffith Show (paw, Aint Bee's lookin' fer ya, paw), and leave it to beaver (paw, nobody's lookin' fer ya, paw) zzzzz but that was only if it was raining and the chores were done and the other channels were static because of the poor weather.
Wow... I watched a lot of tv and it was all mind-numbing! I guess I watched the care bears too a little bit. And what was that show with the caboose - the getalong gang? And thundercats and heman and the smurfs and on and on and on
In the summers I endured some Perry Mason and other similar old-folk shows. And at my grandparents who had cable and let me stay up late I watched hitch**** and some of those other shows listed above in the thread by the old fogies. They were reruns of reruns of reruns :D
Lets not forget Kolchak The Night Stalker. I still watch that. Got it all on DVD and watch them over and over. :)
Our first TV (1949?) had a cabinet about the size of a
small refrigerator, a screen about 9 inches across, and
90% of "what was on" was a test pattern.
There wasn't much to watch, but we were content to
stare at the indian head/gray scale/definition bars for
hours.
It was "cool", before there was cool.
Jeez oh dear....Long ago and far away, but thanks for the
memory revitalization! It's supposed to help prevent
Altzheimers. yuk yuk
Cheers,
Paul
"The Cisco Kid"!!
"Oh, Pancho...Oh Cisco"

Once Upon a Time... Man

I remember as a kid watching the Hana Barbara cartoons like Herculodes and Thundar the Barbarian. The old Spiderman cartoons, GI Joe, Transformers the cartoon, Snorks, X-Men the older cartoon, A-Team, Knight Rider, Magnum PI, CHiPS, Dukes of Hazzard, Little House On The Prarie, Different Strokes, Kung-Fu with David Caradine, Married with Children, Saved By The Bell, The Incredible Hulk, Thundercats, Voltron, Looney Tunes, Banana Spilts, Great Space Coaster, Lost In Space, Godzilla. There use to be a Howard Stern TV show back before he was real known in my area that I use to watch when I would stay at my grandmothers. Wrestling when the Hulkster was the man and it was still the WWF.
That is about all I can think of right now, brings back some memories.
"The Mickey Mouse club" :D
Dobie Gillis. Maynard was cool he listened to Thelonious Monk :)
My favorite Saturday morning show was Captain Gallant of the French Foreign Legion.
I loved the cold war era spy shows. The Man Called X with Barry Sullivan and Foreign Intrigue with Gearld Mohr.
The PI shows: Darren McGavin as Micky Spillane's Mike Hammer and he also played an ex con who became a private detective. How could forget Dragnet - the earlier shows - not what came later.
Meet McGraw with Frank Lovejoy.
Later on Then Came Bronson with Michael Parks. Route 66,
and the beat goes on......
Now that show gets you a free pass into the old farts club!!! how about Lassie,Mr Ed ,The Real McCoys,McHales Navy,The Adams Family.Quote:

What a wonderful thread. This brought back lots of great memories.
I just had to mention Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd). - I just didn't want him to be left off the list of great ones.......
Get Smart, Andy Griffith, Sgt. Bilko, Hogan's Heroes and McHale's Navy to name a few (all re-runs).
Alright, I was born in 1983, so here are the shows from my era that I liked:
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
TaleSpin, Duck Tales, Saved by the Bell, Looney Toons, Tiny Toons, Mr. Dressup, Pee Wees Playhouse.
Most of these were from when I was a kid. Looney Tunes are still my favourite, there are just hilarious to this day.
I did however watch a lot of reruns of Gilligans Island, Andy Griffith Show, Hogan's Heros, the Pink Panther, Bonanza, Big Valley. There are more but I can't think of them now.
Apart from the Belgian shows that only Belgians will know (Merlina, het liegebeest, het klein theater, ... ) I watched William tell, robin hood, the master, the ninja (I think it was called that) and Blake's 7.
And I definitely want to add 'Allo Allo' as well, Fawlty towers, You rang mylord, ...
I'm old enough to remember just about every show that's been mentioned. Let's go waaaay back to the very beginnings.
Ding Dong School (with Miss Frances)
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.
And the world's first interactive TV show "Winky Dink and You."
Check it out:
Winky Dink and You - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm old enough to remember the days before TV, when we listened to radio shows -- shows like Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, Sky King, the Cisco Kid, the Lone Ranger, and many more. I still enjoy listening to the old shows, which you can now buy on CD, when I'm in my car. You younger fellows ought to check them out, especially if you spend a lot of time in your car.
