Won't anyone but me cast a vote for "The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet" or "Leave It To Beaver"?

I find a lot of episodes on YouTube. They still strike me as pretty funny and bring back memories of a calmer, more pleasant world.

Not everything or everyone was perfect back then, but at least where I grew up people tended to be more civil to each other.

Those were 2 of the shows I watched,

A couple of years ago I discovered that YouTube also has channels that cover old radio shows too! Almost every night I listen to an espisode of "Fibber McGee And Mollie" or "The Great Gildersleeve". It's wholesome, entertaining humor of a sort that no one seems to create these days.

There seem to be lots of Christian radio stations (at least around where I live) so it leaves me wondering why they don't produce something like that. Surely the Church has the funds to produce shows like this. It might even help draw more people to faith-based radio.

I used to watch professor Baltazar when I was a kid. We did not have a lot of animated TV-shows in Sweden when I was a kid. This was one of the few.

I remember watching westerns as a young child under the age of 8 or 9: Maverick;Sugarfoot;Bronco Lane;Cheyenne;Laramie;The Rifleman;Wagon Train;Wyatt Erpp;Bat Masterson;Annie Oakley--those shows I was able to watch only during the summer when school was out and it didn't get dark until around 9 pm. The rest of the year while school was in session, and it was dark around 6 pm, tv watching consisted of cartoons on the weekend, early mornings only, and shows like Lassie, and Fury. I loved watching Mighty Mouse cartoons, Popeye cartoons, and any Merry Melodies cartoon--such fun!

You and I must be of similar...maturity. But I watched more TV, I'd guess.

We must be of a similar age. I didn't watch too many westerns, but I did watch some of the others that you mentioned.

Car 54...where are you?

I woke up really sore and thought, "geez I'm getting old." Then I come here and realize nah, not really. I'm 48 though my body thinks it's a lot older.

I cannot remember watching television much as a child. The only thing that comes to mind is Bugs Bunny. My familial circumstances weren't great, then I was a runaway at age 12 for four years, etc etc.

You guys were so fortunate!

EDIT: I have to modify this. I remember watching the Muppet Christmas Carol one year, must've been 8 or 9. Once life settled down (around 2001) I rediscovered MCC while in Blockbuster with the kids just before Thanksgiving (we live in a very rural area, still don't have cable out here, so the kids didn't watch broadcast television growing up, rather we took them into town and let them rent movies.)

I got that DVD (I think, might've been VHS still) and watched it after cleaning up the Thanksgiving mess.

Then it became tradition: everyone knows that after the Thanksgiving clean-up is done, Mom is sitting down and watching the Muppet Christmas Carol. Still do to this day.

Tradition. It's a part f life. And cheer up. You are not old at all. You are a mere 2 years older than my child.

My spinal column says I'm about 172. :wink:

My brain thinks I'm 28. Strange how that works. As I get older the calendar doesn't seem as foundational as it once did.

I didn't have any traditions growing up so when my kids came along, I made a point of creating some for them. The MCC is the one tradition I created for myself.
