Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 My wife asked me after pulling this up from YouTube, how many I remembered? Seems I remember watching them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 There were a few I never watched but knew who they were and a couple I never heard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I listened to most of these on AFN as a kid. Dad wouldn't let a TV into the house anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Remember all of them, save one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 That one about the circus - that boy riding the elephant looks suspiciously like a monkey to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Long long time ago, he went by Henry, and he had red hair. He's the desk sergeant in this picture. Well, I guess (looking at his shoulders) he's the lieutenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Watched all but a couple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Wish I could have seen them when they were aired, but: No TV in the North where I grew up. Just CBC Northern Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 A great blast from the past. Watched most of them in reruns. It's a shame that Lucille Ball is mostly remembered for the ditzy Lucy character rathe than the great dramatic and comedic actress she was. One thing about those shows, and others from that era, were morality plays. God, duty, honor, country stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Yep! Watched most of them, except that "Circus Boy". Wife still watches reruns of Superman. Some, like Dragnet, Gunsmoke, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Sgt. Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and Our Miss Brooks, I listened to on radio. (You know, like television without the picture. Meant you had to use your imagination a lot.) Also, Jack Benny, George Burns & Gracey Allen, Fred Allan, Red Skelton, Phil Harris, and a bunch of others before 1950 (whwe got our first black & white T.V. I can also remember when a pay phone cost a nickel...briefly, until they raised to a dime. And Superman actually had phone booths he could use to change in.

Rip Snorter Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I remember the family gathering around the console radio in the living room before TV. More evocative than most television. Many years later in the car, there was a fellow named Jean Shepherd (yes, the Christmas Story) who was on when I was commuting. If traffic was light, I frequently sat in the car in the driveway until he finished his latest story. I should see if his stories are available on disk.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Why did Gene Autry have a two gun Buscadero rig, but never carried a left hand gun...and to this day I can't understand how a guy could wear a sky blue skin tight outfit and holler "Hi yo silver" to his horse carrying a few hundred pounds of fancy tack and not get laughed all the way to San Francisco. Very few of these I never saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
