Childhood memories
Permalink  

On a different topic the old TV show, My Favourite Martian, was mentioned. That brought back memories of many TV shows that I watched as a child. Such as:

 

Milton the Monster,

Linus the Lionhearted,

Bugs Bunny Show,

Woody the Woodpecker,

The Flintstones,

 

 

It's about Time (? about two astronauts who went back in time to the stone Age),

 

I still remember the tunes and sometimes even the words to those songs. Maybe I'll remember them in the nursing home?

Bonanza,

Rawhide,

and some Marshall thing of which I can't remember the title?

P.S.

Maverick,

I loved the Three Stooges, but with Moe Larry and Curly, I was not that fond of Shemp who substituted for Curly n many episodes.

The young bloke that played the role of Corky in Circus Boy, Doug, grew up to be the drummer in The Monkees. (Micky Dolenz).

The other one with the coyote was Ralph the coyote and Sam the sheepdog. The dog would get a hold of that coyote and punch the tripe out of him. They wouldn't make those cartoons today.

Good group too BigD. Followed his career into The Monkees. I enjoyed their TV show too. The Monkees were formed for the TV show and became popular as a pop group from that.

 The Simpsons has "Itchy and Scratchy", and then of course there is South Park. It's a different and more extreme kind of cartoon violence, but the writers manage to get away with it.

All those suggestions keep on prompting more shows into my mind. Such as:

 

The Wild, Wild West,

Laugh In (With Goldy Hawn, Lily Tomlinson,  'very interesting, but stupid')

 

Yes watsea, I think it might have been Gunsmoke,

I think the chess Knight on a holster may have been a show called Paladin . A soldier of fortune that man called Paladin.

Lets not forget the Cisco kid & Poncho. PS I got that wrong The Paladin show was called Have Gun will Travel.
