I posted Branded the other day. I forgot about beni & Cecil, Cecil the sea sick sea serpent. I didn't think you pops were old enough to remember them or did you see them in reruns?

What about The Dead end Kids and the Abbot & Costello show?

And nobody (I think) has even mentioned The Little Rascals, The Bowery Boys, The Andy Griffith Show, Adam 12, The Munsters, The Adams Family, or better yet! Who remembers FITCH? It only ran for a season, but I loved that show!

Dead end kids and Bowery boys were almost the same, a couple of cast changes. Satch and Slip Mahoney.

i watched MTV when it came out for about 10 minutes and decided it was crap. no stones, led zep, Buffalo Springfield, nothing worth listening to, let alone watching.

A long list yes, and all better than most of the crap reality junk on today. We had channels 2, 4 ,5,7,9, 11, 13 and a couple of UHF channels in Spanish no one watched. There was always something to watch. Today I find channels I never new existed almost everyday and its mostly junk. I watch about the same 8 or so channels everyday. Remember when you had to kneel in front of the TV changing channels, stop for a few minute see if it was something you wanted to watch and then continue changing channels. Or searching the TV guid to see what was on. Black and white television sets on wheels you could roll from room to room and then adjusting the ariel to get reception, then when you had it just right you would move and loose the picture. I was so curious about what color TV was like when it first came out and they had rounded picture tubes so high tech.
