I remember a movie that Roy was in when I was a child.
He broke up a fight and asked why they were fighting. One guy told him "He called me a 'Dude'"!
Why that stuck in my mind, I don't know.

All free (except commercials) from an antenna on our roof. Community Cable TV was just distant commercial stations stolen from afar and redistributed over a cable.
TV advertising was limited by the FCC, until Ronald Reagan deregulated it. And of course there was the censorship that made TV family friendly, as for me I would welcome it back.

Reading through all this, I just keep hearing, Pardon me, Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes? Wow, you are really old. I wouldn't have thought of that for a dollar. For those that don't remember or know, that is a theft of Chattanooga Cho Cho
"Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Cho Cho....."

Marvelous people.
Dale Evan's book, Angel Unaware was a breakthrough in the humane treatment of Down's Syndrome children at a time when many doctors suggested the children should be institutionalized for the duration of their lives.
A loving and contributing couple to the end.

I never knew that they had one in Branson. It was still in Victorville, Ca., when I moved from Ca. in ‘97.
Sorry to see it close anyway.

At the beginning of the television series, Sky flew a Cessna T-50 twin-engine “Bamboo Bomber.” The plane, a World War II surplus UC-78B, was owned by legendary Hollywood pilot Paul Mantz[4] and flown by employees of his Paul Mantz Aerial Services for filming of the flying sequences.[5] At least two other T-50s are known to have been used for on-ground and in-the-cockpit scenes as well as a Beechcraft in a lost episode.[6]
I couldn’t find a picture but wikipoop has this info.

Thanks for that. I was in SoCal in 1960 and we still had black and white TV on our stations.
In Bakersfield, they started advertising cable about ‘85, as I remember.

Cable TV was in Clayton NM in 1960, Farmington NM in 1973, and began to be adveritzed in Tulsa, Ok in 1976.
I believe cable was stalled for years by various lawsuits from local TV station advertizers who didn’t want competition from Tv stations hundreds of miles away.
