[Jack_Tar]

I only saw the reruns of the late 70s to early 80s.

[njsteve]

I remember that episode...and staying up late to see the rest of them, back in the late 1960's. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[PeteLeathersac]

Funny as just last week I was singing that song to my wife in the car one day who being young has never even heard of the show.
Wasn't it on Sunday nights after Flip or even later?

TV???? We didn't even have one until about 1958. Rabbit ears brought in one local station. Sign on was around noon. How old is that. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[Xplantdad]

I remember when they'd play the national anthem....and then sign off at night!

[John Brown]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/05/full-461-11572-indian_tv_test_pattern.jpg

We used to watch the test pattern in the morning while waiting for the stations to start broadcasting, and then again after the last program went off at night. Yep, them were thrilling times.

Dug the Corvette's in Route 66 with Martin Milner, later to star in Adam 12.

[njsteve]

Milner, and his co star George Maharis.

This was an extra credit question on a law school criminal law exam I took decades ago.

It simply said: &quot;Name the actors who portrayed Buzz Murdock and Todd Styles on Route 66?&quot;

I was the only who got the extra 5 points. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[John Brown]

Everyone seems to have overlooked &quot;Bandstand&quot;, as in American Bandstand. Bandstand info on wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Bandstand)
One of our local stations carried it way earlier than 1957 but I can't seem to recall who the front man was. We even had a local version called &quot;Hoosier Favorite&quot; that was on on late Saturday afternoons, with dancing and records and local bands. It was a part of growing up in the 50's.

[m22mike]

Yes it was, thanks for dusting off my memory <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

And for an extra extra 5 points, I think Milner's name on the show was 'Tod'. Who came up with that??

[PeteLeathersac]

Strange enough, pics of Corvette XP-755 aka Mako Shark 1 were just posted over on the Old Street Scenes thread...this same car appeared in a Route 66 episode.

LOL...that was the first thing that I thought of!

[GaryC]

Not sure if anybody gets this station...Channel 2 KJWP-MeTV. Used to be out of Wyoming until a few months ago. It is now broadcast out of the Wilmington/Philadelphia area . Lots of old shows from even back in the late 50's.

[427freak]

How about this guy. Early horsepower.

It's on here every day! Holly just recently discovered it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[427freak]

Holly has good taste.

[GaryC]

How many of you guys watch these old shows for the cars. I certainly do. DVR the show Emergency! for my wife and was watching &quot;Dinner Date&quot; episode tonight and saw a 69 Judge sitting at a street light when Gage and Desoto went out on a call. There is a yellow 69 Camaro SS350 RS that shows up in a lot of episodes.

[m22mike]

And then there was Mr Wizard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4sqjcGUYo)

[Mayhem]

Dick Clark- American Bandstand
Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
Midnight Special
Soul Train

ABC's Wide World of Sports (where we would see Evel Knievel and early car racing)

And yes, I love the old shows just for the cars on the streets and background.

Were we just born in the wrong era and have such strong attachements to that time of life?
Will our kids have fond memories like this of Play Stations, Texting, Toyota Prius's?
What a sad life memory bank that would be.

Squad 51 got me my start to my Paramedic career. After growing up watching them,
I began my career back in 1987, and ended up doing 23 years of Fire Rescue and EMS.
Yep, I knew Johnny and Roy on a first name basis. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Good times. Saved lots of lives, watched a few die.
Mental trauma, lower back issues for life. But it was all worth it.

Go ahead Rampart.

Here's some more memories-

I think this was as close as I got to a Sting Ray bike, Western Auto version
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/1970WA.JPG

The legendary and mandatory Sears Christmas Wishbook-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/Sears.jpg

Which brought us great technological achievements, such as Electric Football-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/1978-Sears-EF-.jpg

And the much more useful Aurora AFX tracks-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/sears-wish-book-1969-slot-cars.jpg

The good old Tonka Trucks, some of these I still have-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/Tonkas1962.gif
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/Tonkas%20now.jpg

Before we had RC cars, we had Cox engine cars and planes. Start em up and chase em until they crash-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/Coxcar.jpg
Always wondered what's really in that fuel-
http://blueicehouse.com/n5ssi/Coxfuel.jpg

Which brought on a more controlled version of destroying our toys we wish we still had today-

My brothers and I got one of those Sting Ray bikes when we lived in Southern Pines, N.C. in 1965. I was 12 and the one to put it together. On the initial test ride I pulled the front wheel off the ground and of course the wheel came off while up in the air and when it came down to meet the asphalt so did my face. I forgot to tighten the handlebars and I just shoved them forward when the forks stuck in the road. Push my bottom teeth clean thru the inside of my bottom lip and bit the top of my bottom lip with my upper teeth. Needless to say my mom was pissed.

I love those gas power cars and planes. I got a British Spitfire plane for Christmas one year, 67 or 68, after we moved to Atlanta. The first opportunity the weather got warm I was out in the back yard learning how to start it up. Got all the lines connected and started the engine and had my brother hold it while I went to the handle to fly it. I told my brother to let it go and the plane went backwards and crashed under a car. Never did get to fly the darn thing and never understood why it went backwards. We all had a big laugh over that one. Also had an open wheel car, like an Indy car, bright yellow. Fired it up and it slammed into a wall. It was toast. I'm glad I didn't have that same luck with cars as I got older.

[budnate]

I had one of those Cox cars you lit off set the steering and chased...lol...I yanked the motor out of it at 12 and stuck it in a Miss Thriftway scratch built wood hydro...still have it in the shop ontop of the tv.

[iluv69s]

I got a Cox 'Stuka divebomber' for xmas one year when I was about 10 yrs old and that same cold afternoon I insisted my Dad and Uncle take me to the school parking lot to fly it. After hooking up the lines and gassing it up, and with my Dad at the controls, my Uncle started it and let it go..it took off and made about half a revolution and did it's famous divebomb straight into the pavement. It broke in about 10 different pieces. Boy did I cry....


..slight difference in technology now !!
