Really wish there was an uparrow button.
We got our first TV in 1952, as well as our first wall to wall carpeting, so I loved watching the little box while rolling around on the floor. I loved Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring. She made the show for me. Then there was Sky King, Space Ranger and the secret decoder ring and Roy Rogers and the start of all those wonderful westerns. Trying to remember another sci-fi show of the period but my aging brain is refusing.
My love was Hiram Holliday (Wally Cox). He used to fight his way around the world with his trusty umbrella as a sword. My first crush, and first autograph, was The Grey Ghost. Still have it. Then there were the Mouseketeers. I know 3 numbers - the phone number of my childhood, my SS number, and my Mouseketeer number - 242001.

Paul Newman looks like your dad? Congratulations!
Did you ever watch Rinky Dink
They had a plastic sheet you could order that you stuck to the screen and would play games like connect the dots.
I think he’s part of the in flight meal...
Nose is different, but yeah. People used to tell him that all the time.
Since the article writers are usually anti-Trump, I can’t object to that statement. But you have to admit, it was fun.
P
No. Have to look that up. I DID watch Flash Gordon religiously. And Sgt Preston of the Yukon. And later Lassie.
Aha

Nope. Never saw it. Looks interactive before they thought of interactive.
“ but let’s let him grow up and acquire some gravitas before we start anointing him.”
Plus we don’t need family dynasties in our nation.
❗💥 Same at Casa Ireland. 😒 The BBC destroyed the whole plot dynamic of the SciFi with propaganda folderol - UN supremacy over national sovereignty, lesbian couple in a long lasting time stream, less clever plotting and increased violence -- I have mostly forgotten now. What was that - nearly 20 years ago❓
Like the new 'Dune' - some effeminate bimbo non-Messianic... sigh I have already flushed it from my memory! AND what about fresh new ideas❓ The entertainment media is almost all remakes and do overs that aren't even shadows of the originals.
Enough....... sigh
Thanks. I’vec ome to depend on you for taking the level of discourse down on FR, one article/opinion at a time.
You’re most welcome.
At least we have good movies and shows from the past to watch again and enjoy. Anyone for Get Smart?
I had a DVD recorder 20 years ago - that seemed to ignore copyright blocks. I recorded 2 seasons of that Dr. Who that we put away and is collecting dust somewhere.
While I recorded I guess a few hundred movies of all kinds, my primary focus was on (historical) news. For example, I captured the two night episode of ABC's 'Path to 911' - which they immediately disavowed and suppressed (it was brutally honest about the Clintoon Admin!) Copies of that must be super rare. I offered a copy to Rush Limbaugh but he claimed to already have it. Another friend thought he had it but he only had the first night. 🤷 Every 911 we get it out and watch it. The DVD technology has changed - and is likely becoming obsolete now with on line streaming. The new DVD players won't now always play my recorded DVDs so I keep having to buy older models - usually used - and hoping for the best.
Generally I doubt my tastes follow much of what is discussed on this thread. Ironically, I worked in radio/TV most of my career - worked at ABC in the days of Peter Jennings and Howard Cosell and once or twice on Dark Shadows - I was a camera and audio tech. 'Ironically' because we didn't get a TV until the late 50s so I missed a lot of the early stuff discussed here - plus I went off to college so didn't see much TV until I went to National Educational Television and subsequently to ABC... ABC was privately owned then not by the grubby hands of Disney.
Gotta hit the sack, late and I had to go to hospital today... sigh
Barron Trump is not an Art. II, §1, Cl. 5. natural-born Citizen. He is a 14A §1 Birthright Citizen. Natural-born Citizens are citizens by natural right, while 14A §1 Birthright Citizens are citizens by the plenary power of the state. In other words, Barron is a ‘naturalized’ U.S. Citizen at birth. The only natural-born offspring of Trump is Tiffany Trump Boulos.
