It was a cool show alright.

...For those of us old enough to remember some of those older cartoons...
...Like Quick Draw McGraw, Yogi Bear, Penelope pitstop and so on...

Those were some of my favorites along with Wally Gator, Magilla Gorilla, George of the Jungle,and The Beatles cartoon. Anyone remember that.

Battlestar Galactica was the coolest and I always thought the young blond on Bonanza was pretty hot

Loved it and Bonanza.

...Norton motorcycle or His 65 Mustang which he painted at least 5 times lol...

May dad built a Honda we used to go ride. I went out just after I got over the chicken pox. Man was I in pain with that shirt slapping my back. Man I wanted to go though. They bought a 64 1/2 Mustang coupe for there first car. My uncle had a 67 Shelby GT 350 that was SO cool to ride in strapped in the harnesses.

Anyone remember those Shogun Warrior toys?...

My little brother had them. I was just old enough when they came out to want to by it but felt silly doing it. I just played with my brothers.

...My little sister was terrified of the thing and I'd spend hours chasin her around the house with it.

Oh the joys of being the oldest. The fond memories of the things I used to put my little brother thru. It didn't effect him that much. He's been out of the mental hospital for a couple years now. LOL!!!!

Man those were the days.

Ew, what I remember best are the Bike rides on week ends, we would 't go further than 10 miles, but it seemed like continents, LOL!

Yeah ! "Seaman and the Seamonster", err, wait, i was only 7 back then

Ahhh...Rat Patrol

Used to love that show. Always amazed me how 4 guys in a couple of jeeps could take on the entire Afrika Korps

I guess they were the prototype for the A-Team.

(can't believe no one mentioned Buck Rogers)

Man, this takes me back

One of my favorites! There's nothing I looked forward to more, as a teen, than watching Emma Peel!

Another good one (I don't think it has been mentioned) is "The Prisoner".

I remember 12 o'clock high (the series) well. I think Robert Stack was in it. Great aerial footage.

Holy mackeral,I didn't realize how young you guys in AH are.I remember the radio programs,Sky King,The Lone Ranger,The Green Hornet.They were on from 5 to 6 every weekday and you just had to be home to hear them.At night there was Inner Sanctum,The FBI and the comedys.Bob Hope.Fibber McGee and Molly,Ozzie and Harriet and many others.In the late 40s TV came out and 20-30 kids would gather around the only set in the neighborhood which had a 9 inch screen.I remember the first World Series that was televised.It was amazing.I remember Uncle Miltie and the Ed Sullivan show.I also remember the first pong game on computer an how great that was.I bought the earliest version of Pacman for my kids and they loved it.I also remember the Spruce Goose and the first jet planes and when the headlines reported bouncing a radio signal off the moon for the first time.I only wish I could be twenty again because this century is going to have the greatest advances in technology than most of us can not even imagine.
