Sure did enjoy "Sea Hunt" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" . Watch them and than head outside to reenact them.

My Friend Flicka....Micky Mouse Club.....Have Gun-Will Travel.....Gun Smoke...Wagon Train....Rin Tin Tin...Lassie were all the shows we grew up with too. They've been replaced with delightful shows like Lizard Lick.....South Beach Towing... Kardashians Hard Core Pawn. Guess thats why I don't care to watch much TV.

Got hit in the head with a BAR aimed at my face (gun barrel, not a bullet, or I wouldn't be writing this), ducked quick enough to take it on the helmet, still rocked me. Yeah, they're heavy.

Great old shows mentioned. Brings back memories that I thought were long gone. Remember when Disney came on Sunday night and was called The Wonderful World of Color?

I think it was "The wonderful world of Disney"...in living color...you know, the colorful peacock thing..

I could be wrong..

One thing I'm glad of though, I'm sure glad I didn't have Jim's job on Marlin Perkins' Wild Kingdom...Watch out Jim, those teeth are sharp....Jim, that snake will bite...etc, etc..

poor Jim...lol

Actually, JSVT was pretty close. It was called "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color."

I remember when our family got its first color TV set, and I would look in amazement when the NBC peacock spread its tail at the beginning of a show. Such technology!
