Every afternoon I watch The Waltons. Just gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling and a yearning for the simplicity of a time gone by.
Thanks for sharing that @Yahtzeemama ! The Ed Sullivan Show was such a classic—so many iconic performances got their start there. Do you remember a particular guest or act that really stuck with you?
Thanks for sharing such a fun list @PhilBurns — what a great mix of action, animation, and adventure! Adam West’s Batman had such a unique style, and Johnny Quest and Space Angel were ahead of their time. It’s lovely that watching X-Men with your son became a part of the tradition too. Did any of those shows spark a lifelong love for comics or cartoons?
Thanks for sharing @dkleslie52 ! Circus Boy isn’t one that gets mentioned often—how special that it left such an impression. The elephants must’ve been a real highlight! Did that show spark an interest in animals or the circus for you as a child?
Thanks for sharing that great mix of shows @tennis ! Fury and Bonanza brought the drama of the West to life, while Dick Clark kept things lively and Dr. Kildare added a touch of heart. Did you have a favorite character or episode that really stuck with you from any of those?
Thanks for sharing @opossum ! That’s a fantastic blend of adventure and comedy—Fury and Sky King for the action, and Scooby-Doo and The Three Stooges for the laughs. Did you ever pretend to solve mysteries like the Scooby gang or quote lines from the Stooges with friends?
Thanks for sharing @ConnSC1945 ! American Bandstand was such a vibe—so many dance trends started there. That’s wonderful that you tried out the new moves! Did you have a favorite song or dance style that you picked up from the show?
Thanks for sharing that wonderfully eclectic list @NenaCuri ! From Speed Racer to Elvira to The Flying Nun—you clearly had a wide-ranging taste! What was it about The Flying Nun that made it your favorite overall? Was it Sally Field’s charm, the storyline, or something else that drew you in?
Thanks for sharing @redbayqueen ! American Bandstand was such a big part of pop culture—so many legendary artists got their start there. Did you have a favorite performer or a dance you loved trying out at home?
Thanks for sharing @tyedyed ! Bonanza was such a beloved classic—those Cartwright family adventures had so much heart. Did you have a favorite character, or was it the setting and stories that drew you in most?
Thanks for sharing @latiki ! Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were such an iconic duo—so wholesome and full of adventure. Did you ever sing along to “Happy Trails,” or have a favorite episode that you still remember fondly?
What a charming memory! The Buster Brown Show definitely left its mark—especially with Froggy and that unforgettable “magic twanger” line! And how sweet that you loved the shoes too. Did you ever have a pair of Buster Browns that made you feel extra special? Really appreciate you sharing this @ghandi44 — it brought back a bit of magic from a bygone era!My favorite shows from my youth were the Saturday morning cartoons
I remember in particular The Buster Brown show . Also my favorite shoes as well. Andy Devine was the hoi. Pluck your magic twanger Froggy
I watched that one too. Also loved Fury, Sky King and My Friend Flicka.
