We have stopped in South Carolina for the night. Left Deerfield at 8 and just didn't feel like driving until we were flat ragged. Did that on the way down and last week when we turned around at this point and drove all the way back to Deerfield Beach.
bells, don't make me go over there and bop you on your pointy little head.
Of COURSE, we're critical of today. No roe colored glasses here. What's good yesterday and today is STILL good to me. I just can't listen to regular local radio anymore. All they play is crap. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Yes, I like my oldies but goodies!
I really made an effort to make my statement as diplomatically as I could. It does reflect the way I really feel though. Frankly, I would get by just fine if the conversations extolling the virtues of yesterday were accompanied less often by criticism of today. My personal view is that it's a crutch I don't need, so do bop me on the head instead of on my legs.
Am I the only one who rushed home from school to watch American Bandstand every afternoon?

Oh, Eve Arden - Our miss Brooks. The Avengers - Steed and Mrs. Peel. (Diana Rigg voted the sexiest woman alive by TV guide) I spy, Starsky & Hutch. The man from UNCLE. Wild Wild West.
But Biggie has a point. While great shows... they were over the course of 30, 40, 50(?) years? So it's not like they came on like gangbusters. (Reminded me of the untouchables!)
So, is it really much different than today. When you get a decent show every year or so?

As a first-born child being raised Presbyterian, I was not ALLOWED to watch American Bandstand until my younger siblings insisted on increased liberality. Same with staying up late enough to watch The Wonderful World of Disney on Saturday night. It was on so LATE! 7:30 to 8:30 pm if I recall.
After being cooped up in school all day, I was more interested in riding my bike, playing wiffle ball in the street, or playing baseball at the field half a block away than I was in watching TV anyway.

I actually watched it but, it was only on Saturdays by the time I got to it.
Man from U.N.C.L.E and Wild, Wild, West were my favorites.
I had a rock.
yep. David McCallum made a quip on a NCIS show as he was being prepped for a bleedout-- flashback! The storylines got repetitious.
Oh I loved Hazel!! Wish I could find reruns of that show.
I don't think she was on 8 tracks. she didn't start til the 80's and I have her first album on cassette. Have most of them, but am missing her later ones from the last several years. I did have a bunch of 8 tracks and a stereo with 8 track in it that I gave to my neighbor when my son was young and her radio broke.
oh kay.........that is awesome!! So sweet of you sandra!! Just perfect for kay, and matches your Reo perfectly!! Gonna put some bling on it??? heheheOMG!!! OMG!!!! SANDRA!!!!!!
you said it! There is some true talent today, but not as much
I suppose negativity of any type isn't the best thing, but although the "old days" certainly had their share of problems, I think it was a better time to live in, even if we didn't always know it. Technology has vastly improved, but many other things have gone way down hill, making folks long for better days. But yeah, these are the times we're in, and we do all try to make the best of em for the most part. It's good that you can see these times in a more positive light than many. I try to always look at the bright side, but these days the bright side is getting dimmer and dimmer for me.
Hope y'all have a safe and uneventful trip.
Like Matt, by the time I watched it, it was Saturdays, but I was faithful. Loved that and soul train
