    There are some great old movies on Turner Classic Movie right now. Some are black/white and some have been colored. Its great to watch some of these movies again. Much better than the crap they make these days.

    I watch those movie channels, but do remember when on Friday and Saturday they had the late show and would show the horror movies? It was always hosted by some guy, sometimes a gal, who dressed up like Dracula? American Band Stand in B/W?

    Agreed. I also get real sick and tired of them having to jump into bed the first five minutes of the movie so they can try and hold your attention. Also tired of guys kissing guys and broads doing the same, just so the movie is P.C. Makes a straight person want to puke.

    I remember when TV first started all the picture tubes were made by RCA and it mattered not what brand TV you had, they all had picture tubes made by RCA.

    One Christmas in the early 50's, Mom and Pop bought us kids a Handy Andy tool box as a present. My guess is that Pop was tired of looking for his tools when he needed them. It had a miniature saw, hammer, chisel, level and a couple of other low tech tools. We used it for a few of our projects but when we needed to build on to our backyard forts or put our soap box car back on the street after an accident, Pop's tool chest always got raided. Great memories.

How about the foil christmas tree with the four color revolving light, the Micky Mouse Club,Diana Shore and see the USA in your chevy, Sky King, Roy and Dale Evans,Bat Masterson,Ringo Starr,Have Gun Will Travel.And real cartoons, not the stuff on today. Semper Fi, Jim and Rose.
