Once you have the 400 round six-shooter why worry about details!? *8->

Yes. He and Captain Video probably led me into a life of reading almost nothing but science fiction. Also watching it on the tube, no matter how bad it is.

Wasn't that Smilin' Ed McConnel? He had a black cat named Midnight, too. I always liked the Indian kid with his pet elephant. All those jungle scenes looked so exotic.

And they need to be constantly bombarded by entertainment to ward off boredom, because they have no idea how to make their own entertainment.

Back in the 50s comic books were the root cause of all social problems. Then along came TV to deflect people from looking at the real cause of problems. Now video games are right up there as a top cause.

I stopped watching the Tonight Show when Steve Allen left.

Since you obviously at one point lived in Wichita maybe you can answer a question for me. I have been going back trying to remember what the name of a department store was before it was bought out and renamed Woolco. There would have been two stores, One at Pawnee and Broadway (the one I frequented) and one at 21st and Amidon (sp?). They both had very good selections of train models, kits, etc. I know the name was Woolco up until the time I left Wichita. But the original name (early 1960s) escapes me. Then there were the two Davids stores, one on east Kellogg (at Greenwich Rd) and one on West Kellogg out past the Airport. They had a much smaller selection.

Thanks

In general, I find the cartoons on the Cartoon Channel to be pretty mindless. However, I did find one ("Mike, Lou, and Og", sadly no longer on) that I really enjoyed watching with my 6-year-old daughter. Then, again, we like to watch the Three Stooges, too. Mindless humor is fine as long as you keep it in perspective.

BTW, Scooby does seem pretty m>>But sadly, for every classic Looney Tune, there's a Scooby Doo... >

Was #1 in the old yellow scheme?

Ahh, but somewhere there are 9000 potential reruns. If only the right price can be met and a market found...

I worked with a woman who was a Scooby fan. Her calendar stated that the oldest was Freddy, at 17 (or was it 18?) Daphne was 16, Thelma and Shaggy 15. Not bad for a bunch of high-schoolers.

BTW, where does Freddy get the money for gas? And food? don't think about it too hard.

Andy Devine, everyday Saturday morning and they were sponsored by Buster Brown Shoes.

Actually Phil, that is just Mark and Jerry, two kids who were far to young to remember the great Captain.

Whatever you say, John.

I've done no such thing. Your comprehension skills aren't up to much.

Age has nothing to do with it. Captain Kangaroo has never, to my knowledge, been screened in Australia. I doubt I missed much.
