If it had been football, Snoopy would have gotten a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Lol!
You're welcome!

You remember it? We had a Color TV, RCA, that had tubes! (remember those?) We had to turn the TV on like 10 minutes BEFORE the scheduled start of the show, just so the tubes in the set could "warm up"!!! Kids these days don't know how SPOILED they are! They hit a button from a remote, and the TV automatically comes in in less than 2 seconds! I don't think they'd have the patience or the foresight to turn the set on 5 - 10 minutes beforehand, just to watch a program! And...there were only THREE networks, and 3 or 4 local stations like WPIX and WNEW (which is now Fox) that showed nothing but classic re-runs! They have NO idea what the Six Million Dollar Man or the Bionic Woman is! (and every kid in my class wanted Lindsay Wagner (Jaime Sommers) to be their school teacher!) We all had pin-ups of Farrah Fawsett, THEN found out she was married to Lee Majors! (why they divorced, we'll never know!) Remember when Farrah guest-starred twice on the Six Million Dollar Man? THAT was QUALITY TV back then! When Oscar Goldman's secretary was kidnapped by Russian agents, all she could call them on national TV was, "You...you...CREEPS!"

Yes, I have fond memories of the olden days of television.
I actually bought one of those 150 mile amplified signal TV antennas from Walmart a month ago, just to get free over the air stations that play the oldies.
ME-TV does broadcasts Saturday Scifi all evening, which plays the likes of Wonder Woman, Buck Rodgers, Lost In Space, Battlestar Galactica, Kolchak The Night Stalker, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea and more.
Most of the modern programming on network stations is crap as far as my opinion.
So, yes I do love some of those awesome shows from yesteryear!

I was only nine years old when this first came out in 1965... over fifty years ago.
And it's still tons better than the crap they put out these days!

I couldn't agree with you more!!! As I said above, when Callahan (Oscar's secretary on the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman) was kidnapped by Russian agents, all she could yell at them on national TV was, "You...you...CREEPS!"

I have somewhat different ideas in mind when i said the 1960s programming was better, but okay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH...the 60's!!! Batman, the Munsters, the Addams Family! I Dream of Jeannie! Yeah, all the re-runs that were on Channel 11 and Channel 5.

Remember, different places had different channels in use. most places could usually access only half of them.
However, I lived midway between two cities each with its own local broadcasting, and we could pick up both. So channels 2 and 6 were NBC, 5 and 13 were CBS, 7 and 8 were ABC, 10, 11, and 12 were NET (a precursor of PBS); leaving only 3 and 4 as dead channels. So in some hours of the day we had 8 or 9 different programs to choose from instead of just 3 or 4 as many other places did. Pretty good for the 1960s. I just wish we had been as lucky with radio stations; i didn't get to listen to a lot of good music i didn't buy until i was in college.

I'm referring to New York City, capitol of the World (yeah, we have the United Nations, next closest thing.)

And how many channels did you have? Maybe a city that size had more than the usual four?

Six: The 3 networks NBC, ABC, and CBS; Two "re-run" stations: WPIX-11 and WNEW-5, and Public Broadcasting 13 (Sesame Street, and Masterpiece Theatre)

You had stations devoted to just reruns? All day? Wow. I thought that was an invention of cable.
The non-NET stations I saw of course had blocks of re-runs too, but mostly in the morning (and therefore unwatchable to me during the school year) when only housewives, very small children, and retirees could see them. Afternoons were all soaps and game shows, although I watched some of the latter (the only sioap i ever watched though was Dark Shadows, which was a very good horror soap for the time.
One of the ABC stations did have the courtesy of showing old fantasy movies, creature features, and other scifi movies after school hours though, when kids and teens could see them. I saw movies like 1940s Thief of Baghdad back then; seemed incredibly old back then but was way more recent than the Star Wars Trilogy is now. Heck, anything pre-1990 is older now than that movie was back then!!!
OMFG! Where did the time go?!

Well, except for the PIX Channel-11 News, or the Channel 5 news...yeah, I don't really recall them showing anything other than Star Trek, I Love Lucy, The Lucille Ball Show, the Munsters, Lost In Space....OH WAIT!!! Yeah! Space: 1999 was a "new" show and was ONLY on WPIX Channel 11 !!!

Never got the second season here at all, though from what I've seen and read it was no real loss.

Well, it was a little bit better. They added a character, Maia, who could shape-shift into various alien monsters.

Oh yes i knew that. i never saw most of the episodes (except the first one) but had bought and read the novelizations for them all by E. C. Tubb that came out at the same tme. interesting ideas but from what i read and saw poorly executed.

Yes it is.
Shame that the kid who played Charlie Brown apparently grew up to be kind of a dick though. He was convicted of threatening some peoples' lives a couple of years ago and is currently doing time in a prison in California.

Poor Charlie Brown obviously suffered from extreme bullying!

At least the "real' Charlie Brown turned out okay. Charles Schultz always said he'd based CB on himself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THAT was obvious! Charlie Brown = Charles Schultz... especially after he admitted that Snoopy was based on his own beagle, Spike!
Take a look at THIS!

I used to have a beagle too, and he did lay on top of his doghouse, but the roof was flat and made of black asphalt so it was undoubtedly a good way towarm up on cooler days.

Didn't know you were 9 years older than me!

I didn't know you were nine years younger than me.
So I guess we're even!

That would make you about the same age as Mark Lester, who played Oliver!

I'm actually just a few days older than the kid who played charlie brown.
