Do You Remember?

 Super Circus aired live on Sunday afternoons from 5 to 6pm Eastern Time from 1949-1956 on ABC. 

It was the closest you could get to being under the big top and if you are old enough to have seen a few of the live performances, you are indeed blessed. "Old and Young" are just words.

Thanks for following, "Yesterday Television."

Do You Remember?

                           The Roy Rogers Show

Starring Dale Evans, Roy Rogers, Trigger & Pat Brady. From 1951 - 1957 the Double R Ranch featured, "The King of the Cowboys" Roy, his "Smartest Horse in the Movies" Trigger, "Queen of the West" Dale, her horse Buttermilk, their dog Bullet, and even Pat's 1946 Willy's CJ-2A Jeep named Nellybelle.

I remember! I watched it as millions of us boomer boys and girls did, growing up in an age when cowboy shows were to cool for words alone.

This post will start with Season One, Episode One entitled, "Jailbreak."

If you keep watching you can binge over 40 episodes in a row!

I will post more episodes in the near future, and update on a regular basis if possible. Enjoy the Shows! "Happy Trails To You, Until We Meet Again!"

In  early 1973 my father Roy took me and my little brother Darl out west on a motorhome vacation. While out there we  went to the, "The Roy Rogers Museum"   

We saw both "Trigger' and "Bullet" as Roy had them both preserved forever.

"Gone With The West " Has Fallen Into The Public Domain

Hope you enjoy todays, "Million Dollar Movie." I come across it while searching the,.... 

"Internet Archive." 

 IMDb said: After being framed, a cowboy is sent to jail. After his time is served, he leaves with vengeance in his heart. 

Soon he meets a young Native American woman and together they go to settle their score with a small town and its corrupt leader. 

 According to Wikipedia: "Gone with the West" is a 1975 American Western film starring James Caan and Stefanie Powers,  and was directed by Bernard Girard. 

The film is also known as "Little Moon and Jud McGraw" in Australia. It was filmed in 1969 under the title "Man Without Mercy" but did not find a cinema release.

Breakfast Pals

  

I didn't know that Snap, Crackle and Pop had adversaries named Soggy, Mushy and Toughy! 

Did You? 

Wow! 

To be a child sitting in a theater in 1939 and watching a commercial sponsored by the Kellogg Company. 

It probably ran back to back with a Popeye cartoon, before the news reel, previews, and the main attraction. This is a piece of history from the golden age of advertising via the big screen. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! 

Thanks for following our humble blog.

Remember Those Old Shows

 Back in the day we only had a few channels to choose from, but it seemed there was always something good on to watch. Now, I find myself with hundreds and hundreds of channels and  having a very difficult time finding anything to watch.

Thanks for being a viewer!

It was based on The Twilight Zone episode, " A Stop at Willoughby " written by Rod Serling. The teleplay was by Vivienne Radkoff and it was directed by Steven Schachter. Wish it didn't take 21 years for me to discover this!

Thank You For "Following" & "Watching" YESTERDAY TELEVISION

Hogans Heros was an American Television sitcom set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II. 

It ran for six seasons with 168 episodes produced  from September 17, 1965 until April 4, 1971. 

It aired on the CBS network and was the  longest broadcast run for an American television series about WWll.

According to Jonathon Berr Senior Contributer of Forbes on September 18, 2019......

"To say that Hogan's Heroes was politically incorrect would be an understatement. The sitcom was based on the absurd notion that Col. Robert Hogan and his band of saboteurs could operate out of a prisoner of war camp in Germany called Stalag 13. The Nazis in the show such as Commandant Wilhelm Klink and Sergeant Hans Schultz were dimwitted and not evil. Every episode featured at least one threat to send a Nazi to the "Russian Front" or a prisoner to "the cooler." There were plenty of Adolf Hitler jokes."

He goes on to explain quoting  from  Brenda Scott Royce, author of Hogan's Heroes: Behind the Scenes at Stalag 13,

that the wounds of World War II were still fresh for many people at the time the show aired.

My own father "Roy Martin Badgerow" was himself a POW.

He would bust a gut when he watched. He loved the show as did so many other of his age group. I also think it has a place here in Yesterday Television.

It is also on MeTV Or The Internet Archive 

If you would like to binge watch a few episodes......

 Thanks For "Watching" & "Following" YERSTERDAY TELEVISION
