“Lunch with Soupy Sales.”

I paraphrase Douglas Adams- “Anything invented before we were born is right and good. Anything invented in our youth is exciting and we can probably make a good living at it. Anything invented after we’re thirty is wrong and should be stopped.” .

I think that applies to the way we view television (and comic strips) too.

What was the question?

Gilligan and Maynard G. Krebs same actor. Bob Denver…

Mickey Mouse.Garfield.Bugs Bunny. Elmer Fudd. Fred Flinstone.The Jetsons.The Smurfs.Tom & Jerry.

are just a few generational gap bridges.

Greg – I mostly agree with Mr. Adam’s … however, “Beiber”, “Gaga”, “Jersey Shore”, “Survivor” and “Eminem” were all invented when I was in my 20s, and there are many other that should never have had any amount of fame. Just sayin’.

And then there were;Sidney Tolar as Charlie ChanPeter Lorre as Mr MottoGeorge Sanders as Simon Templer.Wish our movie-makers would bring back some of those characters instead of remaking “The Thing”, “King Kong” and so on….meh…☻

@GoodQuestion

Oh I think the remake of “The Thing” with Kurt Russellwas fabulous!

Greg the Wimpy Kid?

LOL, I’ve got those books!

They’re so funny.

It seems every generation remembers their TV shows and some don’t.

There was a Saint movie made a few years ago; unfortunately, they made Simon into a “James Bond” type and it was terrible.

Wow…that takes me back.

I hope i’m not alone on this, but I watched a ton of Nick at Night growing up and I have fond memories of Mr. Ed, The Patty Duke Show, F Troop and countless more. However I was still an 80s and 90s tv fan, Muppet Babies, Pee Wee Herman, Clarissa Explains It All… I could go on and on!

I was talking to my 10 year and mentioned ROY ROGERS and TRIGGER with DALE and BUTTERMILK and PAT BUTRAM and NELLYBELLE….the poor dear said Who?….made me sad…
