don’t forget the jetsons, and space ghost lol

I remember an entire Saturday morning eating yoghurt and watching cartoons :D

We could stand to go back to six channels. A lot of the shows on cable are just plain crap.

We had only 4 TV channels in the late 50’s but we had radio I remember Ozzie And Harriett, Philip Marlowe, Bing Crosby, Dragnet, Escape, Fibber McGee & Molly, Gangbusters, The Great Gildersleeve, Inner Sanctum, Jack Benny, Life Of Riley, Lone Ranger, Lux Radio Theater, Our Miss Brooks, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, and Suspense

Okay,we had one channel and when we got the second one we whent crazy. WE also turned the tv on as soon as the test pattern came on so as to not miss a thing.

Another old show Captain Kangroo,Sky King and Roy Rogers. There was also Mighty Mouse, Henkle and Jenkle, Felix the Cat.

Saturday mornings were filled with Looney Tunes (Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam, et. al.). Captain Crunch was a favorite…little did I know I was setting myself up for spending a fortune with my dentist!

We only had four channels locally back in the 60s and 70s. I miss the local weatherman (before they were meteorologists) who was also the lead character on “Salty Sam’s (sailor with an eyepatch) Super Saturday Show” with cartoons and games. Those were the days.

Saturday morning TV – Winkie Dink! We listened to Out Miss Brooks and Amos’n’Andy on the radio. For a long time I drove a green Hornet, and I could tell how old people were (my age!) by their reaction when I told them.

Cartoons used to be fun, now you can’t have a cartoon unless it’s educational—-kids should have something that’s just fun once in a while.

How about Little Orphan Annie, Terry and the Pirates, Jack Armstrong the All-American Boy, Lux Radio Theater, Inner Sanctum, Mr Keen Tracer of Lost Persons, Mr. District Attorney. Now there’s memories! Of course, I’m reveaing my age group (82). TV sucks!

What snow?

I love tv. Basic cable dramas & HBO. Good stuff. Sunday morning cartoons were the Sunday funnies with my grandpa in the ’40s.

We didn’t get a tv until I was nine so we listened to the radio shows like The Shadow, Jack Benny and Amos and Andy. When we got our first tv we got two channels. Now, I don’t watch tv or listen to the radio

There are some shows on today that are great to watch: Castle, Supernatural, Alcatraz, Once Upon a Time, and a few years back they relaunched Doctor Who, which I’m grateful for.

Six channels… We only had three, and the Watergate hearings were on all of them.

Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? The Shadow knows. He he he he he .

Love memories of the old ones…Sea Hunt, Have Gun Will Travel, Mighty Mouse, and who can forget Bullwinkle and Rocky

THE PRESIDENT’S OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! HE’S ON EVERY CHAAAAAAAAAANNELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! WE’RE GONNA MISS FLIIIPPEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

How did you and JOregon get into my head? :D

Afternoon TV – Space Angel, Tobor the Eighth Man, AstroBoy, Jonny Quest, Speed Racer

Captain Midnight…with Ichabod Mudd..with 2 d’s.

Coco Puffs!Bugs Bunny and Mighty Mouse for me. And Casper too.

We began the day with “God Save the Queen”. After the test pattern I think.They may have played “O Canada” at midnight, I don’t recall.

I like the way they bonded in the last panel. Sweet.

Yeah, we had only six channels, too…and no internet…or video games…or cell phones…or iPads…somehow, we kids survived by actually going outside and DOING stuff to entertain ourselves.

i was born in the age of the microwave oven cooking has its charms though and there are some things u cant make in a microwave im glad i have more than six channels even on basic non cable digital tv once upon a time tv used to b black and white and stopped showing programs at a certain time i wonder if people used to sleep better back then
