This is about any of you senior statesmen/women out there, who can remember when the TV was on a console, and with speakers usually at the side through some cloth covered grid, or underneath, and it really was a piece of furniture. Those who can recall TV when it had this funny curved grayish tube surrounded by a plastic frame and all covered with a piece of glass. Those who can recall when the shows were actually in black-and-white, and later those who first came in with that often "green people-shaded" COLOR version with the NBC peacock proudly proclaiming when this was the case. Those who remember when the CBS logo looked like an eye, and the circle in the middle like a camera's aperture. And some of the fun when the family came around and sat down for a good night's viewing of the TV "set", (before it became known as a boob-tube). Those who might only remember 3 channels, (or at best 4--the "public" station) consisting solely of ABC, CBS, and NBC chanels.
I guess I'm waxing nostalgic here; because even though I was quite young, (really I was!
), some of my fondest recollections were with my mom and dad, while enjoying some of these shows. I don't remember when RADIO was king, although my mom and dad talked a lot about it, and I doubt any of you youngsters here do... so I'd like to take a trip with you down memory lane and discuss some of those wonderful shows.
Yes, channels like TV Land, and "Nick at Nite" bring back some of them; but they truly don't capture them all, albeit I'm grateful for a chance to watch them now and then--and just reminisce!
No rules... just post your recollections, and/or opinions... this might be fun.
