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!

Irene "Granny" Ryan

 Jessie Irene Noblitt. was born to an American father, James Merrit Noblitt, and an Irish immigrant mother, Katherine McSharry.

In 1962, Irene Ryan was cast as Daisy "Granny" Moses, the matriarch of the Clampett clan, in the CBS-TV comedy series.

When there were only 3 or 4 channels to choose from.... The Beverly Hillbillies was a smash hit and a favorite of mine. 

The show aired from..... 1962-1971

In 1973 Irene "Granny" Ryan passed away.

She had no surviving relatives.... and with an estate worth over $1 million, she decided to start the Irene Ryan Acting Foundation providing annual scholarships for promising student actors to this very day.

Vroom! Vroom! Turbospoke!

We used to get an old deck of playing cards and stick some in the spokes. If "You" have one still in the box it will be worth a bit more now a days, than the original purchase price. Thanks For "LIKING" Yesterday Television!

YTV

These programs were a significant part of my youth. Do You Remember..... "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?" 

It was also known as.... "Rocky and His Friends" during the first two seasons, and as.... "The Bullwinkle Show" for the last three seasons. 

I Want To Hold Your Hand!

 The ratings went through the roof for the first show.... February 9, 1964!
A whopping 45.3% of the U.S. households tuned in that night!
I know we watched along with the 73 million other people!

February 11th they played at the Washington Coliseum. Then back to New York for two performances at Carnegie Hall.

The second Ed Sullivan Show performance was February 16th at The Miami Beach Hotel
in Florida. The ratings came very close to surpassing the first Sullivan show!

On February 19 the Beatles returned to England and were greeted by 10,000 fans at the Heathrow Airport.



     

The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone series was created and hosted by Rod Serling.
The show ran for five seasons from 1959 to 1964.

 The episodes are in various genres, including psychological horror, fantasy, science fiction,
suspense, and psychological thriller.
Often they would conclude with a macabre or unexpected twist.....
 usually with a moral to the story.

Own all 156 episodes of Rod Serling's classic television series in one special box set. This episodes-only collection includes all 5 seasons of the groundbreaking TV series. 

Some of the guest stars included Art Carney, Burgess Meredith, Cliff Robertson, Dennis Hopper, Bill Bixby, Leonard Nimoy, Burt Reynolds, Don Rickles, Jack Klugman, Robert Redford, Lee Marvin, Martin Landau, Telly Savalas, William Shatner and many more.

Dark Shadows

Dark Shadows was distinguished by its vividly melodramatic performances, atmospheric interiors, memorable story lines, numerous dramatic plot twists, adventurous music score, broad cosmos of characters and heroic adventures. 

It was the first thing to watch in the afternoon after school was out!
 To this day..... it still has a huge cult following!

It's A Wing Thing

Did You Watch?

It was an American competition television program that aired weekly in syndication from September 1989 to May 1996.
The series matched a cast of amateur athletes against each other, as well as against the show's own gladiators, in contests of strength and agility.

Since it was on for such a long time,
there must have been a few of us watching it.
I remember the program and watched it a time or two.....
but, I didn't follow the program faithfully.
