Pat Riot Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Star Trek Wild Wild West Combat Rat Patrol Do these count because all we had was a black and white TV? Years later I discovered Star Trek was in color as was Wild Wild West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I’m ashamed to say I was a TV zombie from 1954, when channel 11 started broadcasting in Colorado Springs, to 1962 when I graduated from high school. I was a slack-jawed cyborg for two hours after supper until my 9 pm (yes, 9!) bedtime. Had to arise at 4:30 AM to deliver the morning edition newspaper before breakfast and school. I recall Maverick, Wagon Train, Gunsmoke especially, but dad exercised control of the channels ( no remote, I was the remote: “Change the channel!”) It took me a long time to grow up. Finally made it at about 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Howdy, Favorite had to be Superman. Then Lone Ranger and Cisco and Pancho. I found that when I got to college I did far better without tv around. After I finally graduated someone gave me their old tv when they bought a new one. That got me watching again. Seems the cable was still connected in my apartment. Free cable for a while. I hear thats how drug dealers operate too. Sometimes the tv turns off after a video ends. I enjoy the silence for a while. Too much tv. Whatayagonnado? Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
