Those 50's & 60's shows were the best. I still have my 1st grade Roy Rogers lunchbox & my husband's Hop Along Cassidy plate. Fun reminders of sitting 3 feet in front of the TV watching that black & white tube. Things my girls will shake their heads over when cleaning out my house when i'm gone!
The fact that those shows were only on Saturday Mornings made them special. When you can watch whatever you want whenever you want, it's not such a Big Deal.
My mother loved Ernest T. Bass. My own favorite episode was Man in a Hurry, where the salesman gets stuck in Mayberry on a Sunday when he's supposed to be in some city on Monday morning, and hilarity ensues. 😁
Man In A Hurry was a great episode along with anything featuring Ernest T. I especially liked the episode where Ernest T. went courting and tried to get a girl's attention by throwing a rock through her window.
Andy said, what happened and Ernest T. pointed to his forehead and said: "Caught her right chere."
Andy wanted to know what happened next and Ernest T. said: "She married the taxidermist what sewed up her haid."
The fact that I can repeat that conversation from memory proves how funny I thought that exchange was.
My Dad was no Andy Griffith. He was more likely one of those guys pulled over because he was rushing to get to Reno. At one point he owned a 1960's Pontiac that had ashtrays along a dash that spelled out Pontiac. One ashtray had a P and the other a C. Our big fun was to switch ashtrays and tell everyone our Dad drove a Contiap.
Man, they just don't make cars like that anymore. Back then a car couldn't have too many ashtrays. Now they have movie screens which may be even more dangerous to your health.
Aha! So it WAS Wendell Corey who discovered VD! I knew it all along and just won a $5 bet with my brother AND got bragging rights. Thanks Mr. J!
Happy I could help out.
This one sure reminded me of my childhood, altho "Chief" Menze wasn't my dad, he was not to be messed with.
Nice.
Thank you, Caroline.
