That is sad, she died so young.

How much trouble will I be in if I admit I have no idea who you all are talking about?

LOL. Princess Sumer-Fall-Winter-Spring was a character on the Howdy Doody Show. As I remember she came out in dark pigtails as an American Indian Princess.

As you can see in the pictures in post # 19, she was pretty nice. She and Annette Funicello were the center of our universe back then.

Wow, can I relate to this story. I am 1 year younger than the author, and I too had the Cassidy hair style. Parted down the middle, feathered on the side, but he forgot to add the little "flip" in the back. Thought I was the coolest.
Dad hated it, he wanted me in a crew cut til I started college, but Mom let me grow it long "IF" I kept it clean and neat, and that meant me paying for it.
Needless to say it didn't last long. Dad's crew cuts were free!

[defconw]

OK maybe the person who suggested the cut off should be at those who remember Howdy Doodie being the end of the baby boom was right. No clue! :)

[alice_in_bubbaland]

LOL! I don't remember Howdy Doodie but I do remember the Banana Splits and The Monkies!

OK Now you're talking! HR Puffinstuff?

[defconw]

LOL, Land of the Lost? Sigmund the Sea Monster?

[Xenalyte]

I loved "Land of the Lost," but those seaweed monsters really sketched me out.

ROFLOL!


Generation Jones would make a great freeper handle!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Yep! I remember HR but, I don't remember Sigmond. In the NY area (I grew up on the N Shore of LI) there always was Romper Room and on Sunday's before Mass there was (oh dear I'm drawing a blank) Sunday mornings channel 5 or 9, I can't remember. Help me out NY'ers! This is gonna drive me crazy, now!

[defconw]

LOL! Those were great shows at least as far as I was concerned at the time! :) It's funny today at work someone near my age and I were talking about all the kids we work with and them being hung over this morning. It reminded me a movie line, a movie that my parents forbade me to see at the time. "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son." Name that movie!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

How about "Diver Dan"! I was real little at the time, maybe 3/4, the Barabuda scared the heck out of me!

[defconw]

Davey and Goliath?

[alice_in_bubbaland]

That was on real early, after the American Farmer. I always watched Davie & Goliath! We always went to 10:30 Mass. When your up at 5:30 in the morning, there was plenty of time for TV on Sundays!

"I always forget what it is called. Generation Jones, that late blooming boomers. I think the cut-off should be: do you remember Howdy Doody? If you do, you're a boomer, if you don't, you're a Jones. "

Nope...Jones by age and conservative views but I do remember Howdy Dowdy as I was the youngest of 6 and saw it from infancy until it went bye bye. I also remember Topper, Gale Storm, Love that Bob which came on after everyone went off to school and Doby Gillis when they came home...and I remember the little fluffy lamb painted on my crib headboard!

[defconw]

LOL, I grew up in Cleveland and always watched Davey and Goliath before Mass. "Uh Davy is that a good idea?". LOL, I really thought dogs were wise. I also watched Lost in Space, every afternoon. LOL

[Xenalyte]

"Animal House"!

[defconw]

I don't remember any of those.

[defconw]

You win! Great movie. I think I was in Junior High and Mother and Dad forbade me to see it. Might give me ideas don't ya know! LOL
