jackpod Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I used to LOVE Captain Kangaroo. I wonder if those shows are out on DVD. I just did a little google search on the ol' Captain. His show came on the air 5 days before I was born... Fini, great link. I was almost 4 when his show aired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 there will never be another Johnny . True, but if you add Leno and Letterman together, the sum is almost equal to the talent of Carson's little finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Twilight Zone A local start up chanel played the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock during prime time. Best prime time that I have seen in years. Watched the entire two hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if you add Leno and Letterman together, the sum is almost equal to the talent of Carson's little finger. Letterman was great in the 80's. Edgy and novel. He was doing things that nobody had ever seen on TV and was the Howard Stern of TV. Then he went into the 11:30 slot and became the "famiy friendly" sanitized garbage you see now.

Allan Songer Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 How many of us watch on an all-tube TV? My guess is none. I have one of these that I restored about 15 years ago: I actually watch TV on it from time to time. When I first restored it I actually had it hooked up to cable and a VCR and used it as my primary television for about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 How many of us watch on an all-tube TV? My guess is none. Not since college. We found a b&w on the curb, replaced a tube, then watched Star Trek in b&w almost every night. A local station was airing the episodes in the order they originally aired. Perhaps because of that I still think it's weird to see it in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted September 28, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2006 Twilight Zone A local start up chanel played the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock during prime time. Best prime time that I have seen in years. Watched the entire two hours. I always watch the Twilight Zone marathons they do on Sci-Fi once in a while. They also run them at 1 and 1:30 am, but that's too late for me, but I'll catch it occasionally on a bad night! Sorry, but no one can compare to Johnny to me. Even Leno and Letterman combined.

fini Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I always wondered why all we ever saw of Mr. Moose was from the neck up. Do you figure he was naked or something? They didn't want kiddies to see his ping-pong balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody_Mack Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 So sorry....must have stumbled in here by mistake....thought I was in an Audio Forum??? [:^)] Mr. Garrison may post any topic in any forum. You, on the other hand, must stick to audio subjects. Don't worry! In seven years you will have the same privilege!! Good one...guess I was out of line. But just think...in only seven years I'll be permitted to discuss Entertainment Tonight and other 'celebrity' and current events with all of you experts. And here I was thinking giving up the TV for music would make me smarter...silly me...[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I like about House is that the incredibly gifted Hugh Laurie is getting a VERY nice payday. I figure it makes up for him not making any serious money for the great work he did in the Fry and Laurie, Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster shows.

joshnich Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Twilight Zone The Twilight Zone was one my favorites. I also liked Rod Serlings Night Gallery. Another favorite was the Dick Van Dyke Show. Loved Laura Petrie in her Capris. An interesting side note is that my mother went to high school and was good friends with Rod Serling and Dick Deacon. Rod Serling was a little more well known that Dick Deacon who Played Manny the producer of the Allan Brady Show. You know the bald guy who Maury always hassled. Other favorite shows include Wanted Dead or Alive Gunsmoke Leave it to Beaver The Phil Silvers Show The Honeymooners I Love Lucy Outer Limits Columbo Sienfeld Sopranos Curb Law and Order ( only the original) The Wire Real Sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
