Our Gang and Little Rascals are some of my most favorites. Loved all the shows. Just read recently that when Petey the Dog passed, he was replaced with a look alike, but they put the circle around the other eye.

He was a good cop..

But the song, Ben.
They call him Flipper, Flipper....
Brings me back to tv tray meal memories
OK, I saw the Munsters on tv the other night. Granddaughter watched it with a really odd look on her face.

Ok the song was ok.

Gilligan's island and Andy Griffith.

I generally agree with you @Amish Heart but...

Flipper was lame.



Ben

I agree.
Listening to the constant replay of the same recording of the dolphin chirping was as nerve-wracking as listening to the non-stop barking of Lassie

My old neighbor used to talk about how Johnny Weismuller taught him how to swim when he was about 3 or 4 years old. Johnny used to date his mom's friend who was his babysitter.
I used to enjoy watching the old Tarzan movies, the original with Johnny Weismuller were the best, the later Tarzans spoke English too well.

The picture is Dick The Bruiser.

Dick the Bruiser (left) was The Crusher's (right) tag team partner. I think they were both from Milwaukee.

Yes, they tag teamed as "cousins". I think they wrestled in a few states around the midwest, but mostly in Detroit. Dick The Bruiser was from Indiana, but had a summer home in Florida where he died. I used to watch him on TV on the rare occasions I could catch the wrestling program. A Detroit radio station morning show had a guy of many voices and a main character of the program was Dick The Bruiser. Always enjoyable comedy, I miss the good ol' DJ's.

This is one of my old faves.

You know, we had some really good stuff back then.
Who else watched the clock as a kid so you wouldn't miss a minute of the weekly episode of:
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ?

Edit: Recognize the kid with Solo in this episode?

How about now?

I recognized him even as a kid. . . He did a lot of great movies and shows.

 

[Bacpacker]

Surprised no one mentioned Lassie, Bonanza, Grizzly Adams, The Big Valley, Munsters, Adams Family, Batman,

 

[Supervisor42]

Ok. So, who can plead 'not-guilty' to watching this mainstay?


Anyone?

Was anything cooler than the Bat-cave or the Batmobile?

 

[Bacpacker]

Guilty for sure
I dream of Jeannie. (Still got a thing for her), American Bandstand

Hot blondes anyone?
Even our 'ordinary' TV was far better than the best crap on today:

 

[Amish Heart]

Gunsmoke!

 

[Supervisor42]

Gunsmoke!

Add the intro into your post. Remember, we do have some unfortunate younger people who have no idea what we're talking about:


Great show! Pretty sure I watched every episode.

Edit: For those of us that watched James Arness, here is a little nugget that explains that he was actually a decorated war hero in WW2 before acting:

His military decorations included the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze battle stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

 

[Amish Heart]

It is a great intro, but am remembering it in black and white

My most memorable tv moment as a kid wasn’t what you might think. 2 neighbors, spinsters and sisters came to watch something on our new tv as they’d never seen one. I don’t remember the show… but… My sister and I both noticed these ladies kept squirming in their chairs, moving this way and that.

When they left we asked my mom, she told us they were afraid the man on the tv could see up their skirts!!!! I remember howling with laughter, still brings a smile.

I remember watching the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Andy Griffith... and the mutual of omaha nature show on Sundays...

Back when 4 channels was plenty!
You mentioned we watched Green Acres. Eddie Albert was also a decorated WW2 hero.
We were surrounded by great people and never even knew it.

...as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the coxswain of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.

This is how we knew him:

I once saw an interview with Eddie Albert about the pacific war. He told the story of what happened at Tarawa in his own words, saved the lives of many wounded marines.
