Our Favorite Cartoons
Do you remember Johnny Quest? How about the Banana Splits? Scooby-doo? The Archies? These were all popular Saturday morning cartoons when I was young. For a kid that hated to get up early during the week...I was usually out of bed at 6am on Saturday to watch cartoons. If my dad was awake when my sister and I got up..he would make us each a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. If he wasn't, we'd get ourselves each a bowl of 'Sugar Pops' and sit in front of the TV and watch the adventures of Penelope Pitstop and H.R. Pufnstuf. As we got older we liked the Monkees and American Bandstand.
Did you watch cartoons on Saturday morning when you were a kid? Which ones were your favorites?

ReplyDeleteZona great blog! I liked watching Bug Bunny and the Flintstones. I like watching the Simpsons now. I love watching animated movies, and trying to figure out who is doing the voices.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess I have a date with hurricane Bill tonight and tomorrow. I went to the store yesterday, so I have batteries and food. I am going to fill up some water jugs and the bath tub. We have been hot and humid here so my fans have been going non stop. If we loose power I may melt. But I have decided to put some wet facecloths in the freezer to help cool me down if the power does go off.
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on first Ms. Shirley!
Zona I do remember Johnny Quest! LOL Not my favorite for some reason Johnny bugged the crap out of me.
My favs were the Flintstones and Scooby dooby doo! Of course there was alway the Coyote and the Road runner. Loved them.
Have to go drag my bones into the shower and head out. Have a great day everyone!
I wonder what goldies grandbabies like the most. Dora the Explorer or Disney? Hmmm Hope goldie is having a fabulous time with the babies!
Zona I hope your bday was the best!
Shirley stay safe! Damn that Bill!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning.. Shirley and Lynn..
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 Shirley..
Happy 4 Lynn..
Zona..
ReplyDeleteI watched cartoons every Saturday Morning.. when I was growing up we did not have other channels that had cartoons 24/7.. or DVD or VHS to pop in so I can watch.. Nope I had to wait for Saturdays.. I used to flip between channels.. CBS, NBC, ABC.. some of my favs.. Bugs Bunny and the Flintstones.. I was also a hugh fan of HR Puffinstuff (sp) and oh gosh I can't remember the name.. they were bugs and lived in bug land.. it was not a cartoon.. "Love bug" oh not sure does anyone remember? I used to love that show..
So fun to remember.. Thanks Zona.. and hope you had the best birthday ever!
:O)
Shirley..
ReplyDeleteYes Bill is certainly coming your way..he is here now in NJ, however we are just getting rain from him.. nothing serious.. actually the sun just came out..
They have closed many, many NJ/NY beaches because the rip tides are so bad..
Stay Safe..
♥♥♥
btw..love ur purple flower, so pretty..
I am off to run errands.. than to Melissa's house (Vincent girlfriend) for a BBQ.. Her family is hosting our family.. Isn't that so nice.. They live about a 1 hr from us, so I will be gone all day..
ReplyDeleteI will try to stop back b4 I leave..
Hope all has a great day!
Good Morning.....
ReplyDeleteWell Zona I guess that a great piece on cartoons but for me...televisions weren't invented when I was young. I do remember listening to Little Orphan Annie on the radio. And there were wonderful things at the movies. Fantasia...Dumbo...Bambi came out in the forties.
Another big news item in the 40's was WWII...you may have heard about it....my Father was in the army and he was busy liberating Europe which left my Mother at home with a herd of children....and we lived on a ranch in Central West Texas so we were never bored.
When I think of what it would have been like to have had television...of course it would have been neat. But we had so much fun building forts and being pirates and soldiers.....fighting Nazi's and our endless missions searching for the whereabouts of Adolph Hitler....if that goomer had been anywhere near Brady, Texas we would have surely found him and taken him prisoner.....
Getting to go to town was a big deal....and church of course....so I really don't feel like I missed out on anything....but I must say...that Penelope Pitstop does sound intriguing.....
ZONA...how fun! First your Birthday and now you give US a gift...a great blog!! I didn't think I remembered the cartoons until you listed them. Loved them all, too! On Sunday's my dad would bring the comics into my room and he would have my little blue monkey...Chimpy...read me the comics and then I would "help" him take his insulin and then we would make pancakes for the family. What lovely memories you inspired. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY...stay safe and cool. That was a great idea about putting the facecloths in the freezer. Oh, and don't forget to mark down your first on your spreadsheet!
LYNN...my ex's name was Bill...I used to say DAMN THAT BILL a lot!!!
My current favorite cartoon is Clifford the Big Red Dog!
CAROL...are you thinking of Land of the Lost? Loved it! And Lidsville, too!! I'm a geek! Have fun at Sweet Melissa's!!
DEE DEE...your childhood sounds wonderful. And we dont miss what we never had, anyhow. Many thanks for your dad's service and helping to liberate Europe.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Owls. I am at the farm office. We have had our breakfasts and I wanted to say "Great Blog Zona". I hope this goes through.
ReplyDeleteIt's slow but I think it went through.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Shirley. Congrats on first.
Zona - I love Saturday morning cartoons. My son who is now 44 still loves them. He has an excuse now that he has a baby.
ReplyDeleteITEACH...your blog yesterday was very special. Your student's are quite lucky to have you in their lives. I am sure they leave your class with more then just classroom knowledge.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am ecstatic for you and Dean!!!!
Dee Dee - I guess we are in the same category. We didn't have T.V. until I was 12. I used to watch the Mouseketeers. I loved Annette. There weren't any cartoons on until the afternoon "Frisky Frolics".

ReplyDeleteMark that down Shirley. I got 25 here at the farm.
ReplyDeleteTINKA...good morning! Enjoy your weekend at the farm!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Shirley - Stay safe during the storm. I will be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Lynn - My kids loved "The Flintstones".
ReplyDelete30
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Carol - I am really aging myself. When we wanted to go from CBS to ABC we had to go outside and turn the antenna. Boy that really dates me.
ReplyDeleteDee Dee - I listened to the cartoons on radio after school each day at 4:00. There was one called "Gerald McBong Bong". He could only talk in sound effects. When I had my first baby he was 2 before he stopped talking in sound effects. A truck was "brrmmm brrrrmmm" etc. I was honestly worried he was going to turn out like Gerald McB. He rather fooled me when he got his Masters in Biological Sciences. First time mothers worry so much.
ReplyDeleteThe first movie I saw was Bambi. I was 8. I cried so hard when his mother died.
My kids lived for the Saturday morning cartoons. They loved Tweetie Bird and so many others. My grandchildren watch ones that I have never heard of. My baby watches "Treehouse". They didn't let her see T.V. until she was 2. I don't think it hurt my other two grandchildren who watched them from their playpen but I say nothing.
ReplyDeleteZona - I can't get the video on this computer but i will watch it when I get home Sunday night. I must go. Jack has just fed the fish and I haven't cleaned up the kitchen yet. I think I have used up my share of the farm's computer time so I will check out. I hope you have a great birthday. I am glad the flowers got there in good shape. Love, Audrey

ReplyDeleteIteach - I read your blog from yesterday. I just loved it. It brought back so many happy memories of the first week of school. Isn't it great having a fresh start each September? I was always going to be so organized that year. I never quite made it but we sure had a lot of fun together. I still see some of the kids now that they are grown with kids of the own.

ReplyDeleteOh Tinka!!
ReplyDeleteYou just opened a floodgate!! And thats so funny...your fear about your son!!!
I could write a page now but I have to go visit some friends today....
I still haven't forgiven Bambi's Mothers death...I cried when it happened and cried again that evening as my Mother said goodnight....she was concerned and asked what was wrong.....I just told her to "stay outta the woods!"
What a fun blog, Zona! I'm afraid I was one of those deprived, abused children who wasn't allowed to watch the telly. We were punished with family card games, popcorn or twilight bike rides.
ReplyDeleteShirley, I hope Bill doesn't hurt you to badly. I'm thinking of you!
Have a great Saturday, Hooters!
Shirley Congrats on first! Hunker down and stay safe from Bill.
ReplyDeleteZona Fun blog today. What I remember about Saturday mornings is buying donuts from the Helm's Bakery truck that would come around. Besides the chocolate covered ones, my younger brother and I really, really loved the apple spice ones with a white shell frosting with tiny bits of peanut in it. We have discovered that a lot of people have tried to find that recipe online but no one seems to have it. Anyway, we would get our choices of donuts and watch our favorite shows. The one I remember the most was not animated. It was "Fury" about a wild stallion befriended by a young boy. We had to keep an eye on our cat, Millie, because she would steal our donuts.
As a pre-teen, I got a kick out of a show called Fractured Flickers, hosted by Hans Conreid. Cartoon segments on the show included Rocky and Bullwinkle (with villanous spies Boris and Natasha) and a cartoon about a time traveling dog and his pet boy called Mr. Peabody and Sherman. I remember the dog as acting rather superior and snotty which is probably why I liked him. LOL

ReplyDeleteMorning Everyone!
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY: Congrats on FIRST! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Bill doesn't cause you any problems. Put lots of water in the fridge too..and please stay safe.
LYNND: Actually..Bandit was my favorite character on JQ..lol..
CAROL: I'm going to get right on the "bugs living in bugland" question..google here I come! :)
DEEDEE: My cousins, sibs and I spent countless afternoons and evenings in the backyard building forts, playing tag, having water balloon fights and swimming. My mom wasn't the biggest fan of kids being inside on a nice day. The only time she was really ok with it was Saturday mornings..and only if my sister and I didn't fight..lol..
MO: I loved when my mom would make french toast on Sunday mornings for all of us. She let my dad cook breakfast one time..but only one time..I think it had something to do with the egg on the ceiling.. ;)
TINKA: Mr Z still loves cartoons too..he remembers when he would watch them with his older brother. He said it was one of the only times his brother didn't tease him, they just had fun watching. Kinda cool.
btw...I don't think the video works..it didn't for me..
BONACHICHI: We were always encouraged to go out and play..or if it was too hot we could stay in and read. I'm glad my parents were ok with us watching cartoons on Saturdays tho, cuz I have so many great memories from those days.
J/LIN: I watched that show!! Do you remember the 'Fractured Fairytales' segment? I think some of that stuff, although aimed at kids was just clever enough for adults to 'get' too.
MO: oh..and my monkey's name was Meekamonk...ijs... ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember Mr. Peabody! Wasn't his voice that of Wally Cox?
ReplyDeleteOkay Tinka~ I fixed the video~ It wasn't you~ :D
ReplyDeleteapparently, I have a "day after the party look" today~
ReplyDeleteMo~ I thought it was Land of the Lost, too~
ReplyDeleteTINA...at least you kinda look like a girl!
ReplyDeleteTINA...were the slestacks from Land of the Lost?
ReplyDeleteyes, Mo~ (and thanks! i think!)
ReplyDeleteShirley~ congrats on first~ I was checking Bill out last night to see if I wanted to go to work on Monday (you know..it's all about me!) and saw that the ass was headed for you! ugh~!
ReplyDeleteLynnD~ I went to my friends' house yesterday and her daughter has a "Dora" room! So cute~
ReplyDeleteCarol~ Have a fun time and stay outta the water~ mkay?~
ReplyDeleteMo~ do you still have Chimpy?~
ReplyDeleteDeeDee and Tinka~ I love your memories....all my cartoons were in black and white....until that wonderful day that our TV got stolen....and we finally got a color tv!!~
ReplyDelete66~
ReplyDelete67~
ReplyDelete68~
ReplyDelete69~
ReplyDeleteDeeDee~ lol@"stay outta the woods!" As I remember, she did~ And ur dad...was he a cook in the army? Or a gun cleaner? Or the company shoe shiner?! :)~
ReplyDeleteBonachichi~ when we go camping, we don't allow any electronics....we play games...and some nights at home we do the same thing. It's a lot of fun....after we beat the kids to sit at the table to play! :D
ReplyDeleteJ/L~ ur making me hungry....I loved the chocolate cake donuts with chocolate icing and coconut sprinkled all over them! Both my dad and I loved them! Very few make them now~ :(
ReplyDeleteZona~ I loved watching Scooby-Doo, the Flintstones, Archie's Funhouse, Bugs Bunny and Road Runner Hour, Heckle and Jeckle, Josie and the Pussycats, Harlem Globetrotters, H.R. Puffnstuff, The Jetsons, and then we ended with American Bandstand! For some reason, I remember my sister and I watching, but not the boys.....they must have watched with us...but I don't remember them being there~
ReplyDeleteTINA...as a matter of fact, I do still have Chimpy! I got him when I was born, so I guess that makes him 28 now!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH, btw...my dad was a cook in the army for a while.
I have a cute American Bandstand story. I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and the Saturday is the Sabbath and the orthodox don't watch tv, work, cook, etc....on Saturday. There was a teenage girl that lived across the street...Chava. She loved AMerican Bandstand and they would leave the TV on from before the Sabbath, on the channel it was on. When the mailman came, he would go in and turn up the volume for her and she would sit and watch it! When it was over, she would get some neighbor that wasn't Orthodox to come in and turn off the tv!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog ZONA. It brings back so many memories. There wasn't very much on television when I was young. I remember Crusader Rabbit, Kukla Fran & Ollie(hand puppets), & Howdie Doody. Oh, and there was Comic Weekly on the radio. My sister and I played house with our dolls, but otherwise we lived outside.(which I am sure everyone else on the blog did also) Later we watched Disney on Sunday nights. I remember it opening with "When you wish upon a star" Every time I hear that song I am so sentimental, as I immediately go back to my living room,with my family, lying on the floor.
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY - If I didn't know you were talking about a hurricane I would think you were going to be on one wild date. :) Seriously, I hope you stay safe.
ReplyDeleteCAROL - Have a good time at the BBQ today.
TINK - I now have an excuse to watch Wonder Pets & Baby Einstein.
EUNICE - You look like you are running for class president.
Ok guys, why didn't someone put SPOILER ALERT? I didn't know Bamby's mother died
ReplyDeleteDIANNE - lmbo
ReplyDeleteTina You look like you are celebrating the Woodstock anniversary. Groovy, Man.
ReplyDeleteIn fourth grade, I would rush home from school to watch the original incarnation of American Bandstand, broadcast from Philadelphia. I learned to dance by watching the "regulars", Bob and Justine and Frankie and Arlene.
MO I think you're right. I think it was Wally Cox.
Dianne LOL I guess we forgot that you grew up UNDER A ROCK! ;)
Zona I think some of Fractured Flickers and Franctured Fairy Tales was meant to amuse adults. I also got a kick out of The Soupy Sales Show for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteMy son really liked Speed Racer and my daughter really liked Fraggle Rock.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday
ReplyDeleteZona - what a great blog...
I loved watching Saturday morning cartoons.. the kids these days are missing out on SO much...
thanks for sharing..
i hope everyone is having an excellent day!
:-)
Hello Owls!
ReplyDeleteI'm slowing catching up.
I have Thurs. blog, Friday's and today's.
On to Thurs., oh my heavens, I so love Mary Poppins. She ranks right up there with Snow White.
I read all the original Mary Poppins books and they were good.
In the books she has a little bit more vinger in her. But I still adore her. I love that movie!
Great choice of b-day card Zona to give to Carol!
way to go Shirley, congrats on #1.
ReplyDeleteZona: Great blog! I liked scooby doo and the flintstones. I don't like many cartoon shows really though.
I am having a weird night. I am all alone. Hubster went to Houston, oldest out (he's actually moving out Sept 1), middle one out with girlfriend prolly late or all night and youngest at boyfriends. It is so quiet. I thought about going to see a movie (Her sisters keeper) but I haven't gone yet. I need diet cokes but I haven't gone yet. Kind of enjoying the peace and quiet. no tv, no radio..just a fan buzzing in the background and the soft click clack of the laptop keyboard. Very nice.
Shirley: I hope Bill is kind and doesn't blow your dress up! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone...
ReplyDeleteWell Bill washed out the BBQ, so we were indoors.. and boy did it rain, it came down buckets.. just very glad it stopped for the ride home, it was just a slight drizzle.. Bill def packs a punch!
Mo...
ReplyDeleteI remember Land of lost, and Lidsville.. but the other one I can't remember and its driving me nuts..
Wasn't lidsville and spin off of HR?
ReplyDeleteI found it ... The Bugaloos.. it was so my fav show.. thank goodness for google..
ReplyDeleteOMG so fun....

Lani..
So good to see you..
Hmmm.. how did it get to 102??? who is here with me????
ReplyDeleteShirley.. Shirley.. Shirley..
ReplyDeleteI ran right over you.. so sorry.. did it hurt?
Congrats on 100 Carol!
ReplyDeleteWell if it did not hurt.. please get your # 2 and write my 100 down..
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Between you and Bill I should be ok in a week or two! Lol!
ReplyDeleteShirley..
ReplyDeleteBill is coming with lots of rain.. and we did not even get the direct hit.. so please be safe..
Enjoying all the memories today! Tinkatia, "Frisky Frolics"? Was that a children's cartoon? LOL!
ReplyDeleteZona: I haven't thought of Penelope Pitstop in years! She was fabulous!!!!
Tink and DeeDee: What's your first memories of TV? We had it all the time I was growing up, but only one channel, CBC, because my rural area didn't have cable yet. I missed most of the Saturday morning cartoons except when I was visiting our cousins in Toronto.
Shirley: Glad to hear you're all prepared. Could be a wild Bill!
Sorry you BBQ got rained out. How were the winds? That is what concerns me the most.
ReplyDeleteShirley...
ReplyDeleteLOL.. LOL...
The winds were not bad.. but please remember I am inland.. I am sure on the coast and in a direct hit, they are probably high..
ReplyDeleteThe rain should start here in a couple hours and end around noon tomorrow. They are say 100+ mm, that about 4 inches. I'm going to fill the tub up and then I'm going to bed. Good night everyone. Hopefully I will see you all tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhabby...Wild Bill is what it sounds like. Lol!
After being up for 28 hours I finally got 4 hours of sleep..I know..I'm a dork..lol..
ReplyDeleteLANI: I loved Shari Lewis, Lambchop and Hush Puppy..they always made me laugh. It was easy to forget they were puppets. I still watch clips on YouTube and smile.
DIANNE: LOL! You goof.. :)
TINA: I'm still waiting for all the stuff in the Jetson's to be invented..where are those flying cars anyway??
MO: My sister and I watched American Bandstand..I think my brother might have creeped out of his room to watch too..
J/LIN: Ok..I'll admit it..I have Fraggle Rock on dvd..the whole series...
MEK: I think we were lucky..there were just enough cartoons on to make it fun. There is kind of a cartoon overload now.
J/LIN2: I ran home from school to watch Dark Shadows..but that's a whole 'nother blog!! :)
HI JENNIFER..I left you a comment in Area 51. I liked that card so much Mr Z was going to buy it for me!
BEBBI: Sometimes quiet is good. Have you been reading Jokers Update? Looks like TBFL is working..dang..
CAROL: OMG..so freakin' funny! I don't remember that show..but I probably saw it cuz I loved anything done by the Krofts.
BEAR: Do you remember that asthmatic dog?? :D
G'night SHIRLEY..I hope they've overstated it and Bill turns out to be a wuss!
I am sneaking into the office before bedtime. Jack is doing a last minute check of the lakes.
ReplyDeleteFarm weekends are supposed to be computer free but what can I say I am a blog addict.
ReplyDeleteWaving at everyone! I just got home and my back is killing me but for some reason I had to check in and see what the owls were doing! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou guys have sent me though memories misty lanes. I forgot about so many of the cartoons listed and it is like having flash backs.
Love Dee Dee and Tinka's stories. Even tho we had TV the adults always had first pick so I do remember being sent outside to build forts. Chasing bugs through tall grass, riding bikes down steep hills into traffic. Being dragged by a radio flyer wagon. Playing Cowboys and Indians, Fashion show, House and so much more.
Thanks for the memories gang!
HI TINK!! I hope you are having a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I don't regret not seeing cartoons as a kid. We did other cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteLYNND: I thought I was the only one who rode their bike into traffic..lol..I sure hope your back feels better!
ReplyDeleteCarol - I know it's unbelievable but our antenna was on a pole at the side of the house. If it was facing North we got CBS, West, ABC, South, NBC. That was all the channels there were. If you wanted to change stations someone had to go outside and turn the pole. I know owls are now thinking I am either drunk or 80 years old but it's true.

ReplyDeleteMust run. Night all.
ReplyDeleteShirley - Stay safe.
ReplyDelete129

ReplyDeleteZona - Yes I am having a relaxing weekend. I have really rested my legs and that has helped. Laying out in the warm sunshine has too. Loved your blog today. I forgot to say that I loved watching "Land of the Lost" with my kids. I don't know how many times we saw the whole series. There weren't that many episodes but it always came back to the beginning and started all over again. Remember they came down a big shute or something.
ReplyDeleteWhabbear - Yes those were innocent years. "Frisky Frolics" didn't insinuate anything but cartoons. LOL
Now I really must run.
All righty, I just read Friday's blog, so now I'm only one day behind.
ReplyDeleteAnd what ya know, I wrote Friday's blog. lol
Thanks for all the great comments. Yesterday, I found out that I'm going to have another Reiley, so now I'm at 26 children.
Kgirl- This is my 17th year of teaching.
ReplyDeleteThe girl names have changed a lot since when I first started. The boy names have a little, but not like the girls.
Good evening feathered friends!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember a time without TV. I remember our first color TV. My dad decided he was going to watch the World Series in color that year. It was a Zenith console! No remote controls in those days. I was about 5 when we got it. My dad loved to watch Combat. My favorite show was The Rifleman...LOVED Johnny Crawford...was gonna marry him! And after school it was the Monkeys! And when I came home for lunch it was As The World Turns!
CAROL...sorry your BBQ was rained out. I dont remember Bugaloos at all...must be before my time!!!! Wasn't the guy on Lidsville Charles Nelson Reily??
ReplyDeleteZONA...the Krofts were amazing. And your not a dork...ok, maybe just a little! bwahahaha
LYNN...I hope your back feels better soon.
JENNIFER...the girls names I see at work are sometimes downright mean to give a child! And if they are twin girls...OMG! It makes me think the parents just grab Scrabble tiles and make up names from the letters in any old random order!
Hi everyone! This is my last night in Oregon. Babara drove us to Mt Hood where we took a ski lift to the snow line. I couldn't believe there were people skiing and snowboarding!
ReplyDeleteWe saw a beautiful water fall and had lunch. Jaimie and I crashed when we got back . We slept for 4hrs!
Must have been that Mt. air and lack of sleep. We took a lot of pics. I will post when I get back,,, when I recoup lol!
Today's blog brought back a lot of memories. We didn't have a tv for a long time. We spent most of our time outside playing and making up games. I loved hop scotch and jumping rope. We did finally get a tv. I loved anything from Walter Lantz and Walt Disney.
Lanni, I still get nostalgic when I hear that song! Also,M-I-C,
K-E-Y,
M-O-U-S-E!!
Justlin, I loved Mr Peabody and his snooty dogster!
Mary Mr. Peabody WAS the snooty doster. His boy was Sherman. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat should have been "dogster".
ReplyDeleteCAROL - Yes, I remember knob turning and rabbit ears, and my father taking tubes to test down at the drug store. Then the next step was to bang the TV, then it was "I am going to throw it into the bay" lol
ReplyDeleteIn the old days - us kids were the remote control...
ReplyDeletewe would sit on the floor in front of the tv and dad would ask us to change the channel - and the dial only went ONE WAY - so you had to be careful!!!
:-)
MO - laugh out loud at Scrabble Tiles.
ReplyDeleteTINK - I am happy to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Lani - and sometimes we had to put foil on the rabbit ears to help the reception!!
ReplyDelete:-)
SHIRLEY - I hope you don't wake up with Bill in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGood night to everyone and have a great Sunday. Tomorrow is Georgina's dedication at church.
MEK - Yes, I remember foil. Also, adjusting vertical and horizontal lines.
ReplyDeleteI remember when there was one commercial at the top of the hour and station identification at the half hour.
ReplyDeleteand tv shut off to the Star Spangled banner around midnite..
ReplyDeleteand the long little white light when you turned it off!!!
:-)
and speaking of turning off - I'm headed to bed.
waving howdy to all........
Hope everyone has an excellent Sunday!!

Oh - Dianne - what happened to our Broncos!!
