Middle Aged Memories
Comments
-
I vaguely remember Creature Features, wasn't allowed to watch very much daytime TV on the weekends, but it seems like I got to see it sometimes, like on rainy or very cold weekends.
-
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.
-
I loved the Creature Features. They were a little corny, so it would never scare me, like Alfred Hitchcock would. My dad and I would always sit and watch all the old westerns together. I still get a kick out of them and it does remind me of times spent with him, as well.
-
Biscuits - We would watch old westerns together as well. My dad liked John Wayne.
-
I do and now there's Svengoolie on Me tv playing those movies...
-
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
-
I watch Svengoolie too! I love Me TV!!!
-
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.)
-
elimar...ME tv is short for Memorable Entertainment tv. It is a free over the air channel where I live, but many cable companies carry it. I am just too cheap to pay for cable, so we depend on our rooftop antenna for our channels. We get about thirty free channels. Most of the programs and movies on ME tv are from the 60's and 70's. It's a hoot!
-
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.
-
My television romance was Bobby Sherman from "Here Come the Brides". The show was kind of dorky, but he was definitely "eye candy" for twelve year old me. Had his posters hung up all over my room. For my fifteenth birthday, I got to see him in concert. He threw his love beads out into the audience and I was lucky enough to catch them! Hah...I haven't thought of that in years.
-
I get an over the air channel called Decades that plays old shows, has themes for the afternoon shows, and runs marathons of some of the old shows. I was watching a Lost in Space marathon the other day. Saw Love Story recently, too.
I vaguely remember this show.
I do remember this show, though!
-
NativeMainer, That is the film version (which I eventually saw much later) but the t.v. ghost was Edward Mulhare.
Just watched Rex Harrison in the classic Blythe Spirit last night on some old movie channel. He's haunted by one, then two wives. Hahaha!
-
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.
-
biscuits - Here's Bobby Sherman on Emergency. He's with another handsome actor. Robert Fuller!
-
Notice how Seacrest actually makes Guy Lombardo look good? Wha-hahahaha! But, I'm serious.
Happy Rockin' New Year!
-
Cheesy......with his big cheesy grin...
-
Loral - how perfect to start the new year!!
-
Hey! Is this thread closed or what? NativeMainer, less drinkin', more thinkin'! Ha-haha!
I stopped by BCO to pay my respects to the memory of Marybe, but since I looked in here, I'll also dredge up a memory. I got a million of 'em.
Saw my little neighbors playing with bubbles the other day. I remember loving that soapy mess when I was a kid too; however, what kind of sadistic toy manufacturer made this bubble pipe pictured? Sure it created a pretty bubble cascade but there is not kid on the planet who did not get a mouth full of soap trying to use it. I bet you can almost taste that liquid soap just looking at this pic. I know I can!
-
Eli - hi & good to see you. I guess we should work harder at keeping this thread active.
-
Morning, Elimar!I can taste the soapy water! Love the mess that bubble pipe made.
MinusTwo--yes, we should, this is a fun thread.
-
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.
-
Love the dogs!!! I don't remember them, but I do remember little porcelain items in Red Rose Tea boxes.
-
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.
-
I remember feathered back hair, combs with colorful handles that girls would carry in their back pant pocket and Gunne Sax dresses. I had a few of those dresses.
-
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! 😀
-
I loved my Mrs. Beasley doll! I also had a Buffy doll with the ringlet pony tails. And I got married to my first husband in a Gunne Sax dress. I remember getting a pogo stick for a birthday once.
-
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!
