Middle Aged Memories

I'm just happy to know that someone else remembers it. I believe it was on during lunch time between 11:00 and 1:00. Dad and I used to watch a lot of old movies together. I miss those moments with him.

Biscuits - We would watch old westerns together as well. My dad liked John Wayne. 

I love ME tv! When there is nothing interesting on in the evenings, I turn on the old Ed Sullivan shows...I get a lot of entertainment out of them

How do you get Me TV? (Svengoolie is hot!...Just kidding.) But I did used to watch those Creatue Features on Saturday afternoons as a kid.)

Oh, I will have to look for it. I usually just keep my HDMI 1 on and that's the satellite. I'll have to see if ME comes up on the over-air stations around here. Thx.

Just thought of that old series The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Not that he was a scary ghost. Kind of made me want a ghost romance too. I was an impressionable kid.

Haha, I remember Bobby Sherman. He used to play guest roles on that TV show, "Emergency!". I was in love with fireman/paramedic Johnny Gage (Randolph Mantooth).

Elimar - ME is part of our basic cable package with Frontier (formerly Verizon). We also get the Decades channel too. They ran a marathon of "Gomer Pyle" recently. NativeMainer is correct. They run marathons from time to time. You may be able to catch the Ghost & Mrs. Muir on that station one day. Oh, and I do remember that show. I liked it too. 

Notice how Seacrest actually makes Guy Lombardo look good? Wha-hahahaha! But, I'm serious.

Happy Rockin' New Year!

Loral - how perfect to start the new year!!

Eli - hi & good to see you. I guess we should work harder at keeping this thread active.

Even tho' I rarely post anymore, I do like to view this thread now and then (because I have so many memories "stored" here..just in case I start to forget them.)

That Barrel-Full-O-Monkeys reminds me of two things. One, that my son had a tie with those red monkeys on it that he wore to h.s. graduation; and two, another set of plastic animals, which were the plastic dogs that came in cereal boxes. These should look familiar to a few of you guys, at least. I was a real good cereal eater way back when, so I had collected about half of the set before that promotion was over sometime in the 60's.

Since I might not think of this for next month (Veteran's Day,) I better post it now while it is on my mind. Anyone else have a bracelet for a Vietnam War POW/MIA? I think I either sent away for one or there may have been a fund drive at school where I got mine. I wore mine for the better part of a year, but then quit wearing it; however staring at it on my arm every day burned the name into my memory. Only recently did I think to browse the internet to find out if my soldier was ever found, if he ever came home. He did, but not alive. Sad.

Just came across this and what a fun place! Haven't had time to look through it, but has Mrs. Beasley been mentioned yet? I love love loved her, and wanted to be Buffy from Family Affair! Lol. My mom used to dress me in those super short waistless dresses and tights that looked like sweater material. Thanks for the memories guys! 😀

NativeMainer:

I used to drink that tea. I had to switch to a different brand because it started giving me a headache forcsome reason but it was good stuff.

Thanks for the pics, Native Mainer! I seem to remember the Mrs. Beasley doll talking. Is my memory correct? Also, I lived in Maine for five years and graduated from University of Maine, Orono. Beautiful state!
