Good morning everybody! It is Monday May third and the first Monday in May. I hope people had a nice weekend.
Now, I remember saying that we would be looking at some classic television shows this week and I was wondering before I jumped into my list if any of my readers had any shows that they absolutely loved. I liked a lot of different shows when I was a child and not all of them have stood up to the test of time for sure. There are several that I regret going back and watching again because they just are so bad now. I think that mainly that seems to be the case for the sit-coms that I liked. I feel that most of the dramas to tend to stand up pretty well regardless of the costumes and things like that. I mean sure some of the shows do suffer when you look at outfits and hairstyles but overall if the show was good and had good characters and stories then it didn't matter how the actors looked or what types of cars they were driving.
Another aspect of the shows that I did not notice as a child but I do now is what shows may or may not have been sponsored by different companies. So I will try to keep focused on the old shows that I liked and do a little digging into them. Please feel free to comment and to mention shows you enjoyed I would love to do a little discussing of them. As usual I also well allow for some space for me to roam without any kind of direction or path where ever the daily news takes me.
So let me know what you liked folks and I will talk to you tomorrow.

If you want me to go way back, Romper Room. Come forward and Electric Company, it was a little more edgy than Sesame Street and had Spiderman! When I got home from school I would go to my buddy's house and we would watch the Flinstones then Gilligans Isle and sometimes Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. I was never a Brady guy, and we never watched much TV at home, except Sunday night we would watch Disney.
Ii was a TOTAL game show junkie. I loved them all, Jokers Wild, Tic Tac Dough, Hot Potato, Sale of the Century, Password etc.... I also remember watching Ramlin' Rod as a youth. My favorite Sat morn cartoons were Thundarr the Barbarian, The Herculoids, Star Blazers (on the legendary KECH 22.)
As I grew up I would watch a lot of Perry Mason re-runs (still on KPTV @ noon,) and the Rockford Files.
