Good morning Fiji Hill ((Canteen HUGS))

ah, hmmm, can't say I remember 98% of those.
I did watch Hopalong Cassidy but don't remember much of it.
I'll have to look them up.

"I Led Three Lives" was based on Herbert Philbrick's autobiography I Led Three Lives: Citizen, Communist, Counterspy (New York: McGraw Hill, 1952) and aired from 1953 to 1956.

"The Voice of Firestone," aka "The Firestone Hour" was a Monday night show featuring classical music that started as a radio show in 1928 and continued on TV until 1959.

"The Twentieth Century" was a Sunday night documentary hosted by Walter Cronkite on historical events of the recent past. It lasted until the mid-60's, when it was replaced by "The Twenty-First Century," which focused mainly on technological innovations.

"Your Hit Parade," which also started as a radio show, featured performances of bestselling popular songs.

"The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom," The Dinah Shore Chevy Show," and the "Texaco Star Theater" were variety shows, of which I have numerous bootleg copies on VHS.

"Captain Z-ro" was a Sunday afternoon space opera about a scientist with a time machine. "Hopalong Cassidy" was an oater that also started on the radio.

"Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade" was a show for young people that aired on KTTV in Los Angeles at 11 AM on weekdays. Hosted by "Sheriff" John Rovick, who died recently, it featured music, cartoons and skits. Baby boomers from Southern California will likely remember that show.
