1. It's a good one.

I was just there last night...but I couldn't find my song. Lot's of good stuff tho.

[cleofus1]

2. yeah my earliest memories are of

maynard krebs and all those other black and white tv shows...the life of riley...my three sons...lucy...didn't have much use for gilligan's island...but i always had a soft spot for maynard...i knew he had just cleaned hisself up and finally gotten a job...of course just like he knew it would...it ended badly for him...

[no name no slogan]

3. Ever try singing the words to "Amazing Grace" to this tune?

Give it a try, it works eerily well.

It's kind of like watching "The Wizard of Oz" while listening to "Dark Side of the Moon"

:tinfoilhat:

[cleofus1]

4. way too much time

on your hands...

[no name no slogan]

5. Yeah, I'm kind of pathetic that way

:dunce:

[cleofus1]

6. i've still not tried that

oz/moon thing...i have the dvd and the cd...i've got to try it sometime

[cleofus1]

7. damn no i'm having early sixties flashbacks

lloyd bridges before he was a comedian!

[cleofus1]

8. quein es muy macho

now this show kicked ass

[cleofus1]

9. orignally it starred jackie gleason...but did not catch on

the in the 50's they braught it back with william bendix and sterling hollaway...great show!

[cleofus1]

10. the early version of my three sons

before william demarest...fred mertz was on hand...

[cleofus1]

11. one step beyond used to scare the hell outa me

but that john newland sure was a snappy dresser!

[cleofus1]

12. yep i really did watch this as a kid

i thought i was cool cause little ricky played rock and roll

[cleofus1]

13. then of course the kid shows

like engineer bill

[cleofus1]

14. so does anyone else remember these tv shows

any old memories of paladin or romper room...hobo kelly...
