On a different topic the old TV show, My Favourite Martian, was mentioned. That brought back memories of many TV shows that I watched as a child. Such as:

Milton the Monster,

Linus the Lionhearted,

Bugs Bunny Show,

Woody the Woodpecker,

The Flintstones,

It's about Time (? about two astronauts who went back in time to the stone Age),

I still remember the tunes and sometimes even the words to those songs. Maybe I'll remember them in the nursing home?

My favourite shows were;

1. The Samurai

2. F Troop

3. McHales Navy

4. Huckleberry Hound

5. Ripping Yarns

Ah yes. I remember wall of those, although I'm assuming 'Dobin' is a typo and should be 'Robin'. 

What about:

Laredo,

Bonanza,

Rawhide,

and some Marshall thing of which I can't remember the title?

P.S.

Maverick,

and later on

The Rockford Files.

Rin Tin Tin,

The Jetsons,

Petticoat Junction,

Green Acres,

Daniel Boone,

Swampfox (A Disney show),

Wyatt Earp,

How about. Lost in space

Deadly Earnest ( a Friday night horror program )

Casey Jones ( Staring Alan Hale )

Fat Cat and friends ( Kiddies program )

The Swami ( a Yoga Exercise program for women on around 10 Am week days )

The red skeleton hour ( American comedy show )

The ABC test pattern in the mornings before the main programs ( this was used so that TV technicians could do a basic alignment of the television )

Being a man closely allied to the transport industry my favourite viewings were;

Cannonball with characters Mike Malone and Jerry Austin

and

Casey Jones with his off sider, Red Rocks

 

Wells Fargo, a western with Dale Robinson.

Gun Smoke

Rawhide

Red Skelton Show, funny as.

It Ain't Half Hot Mum  

Allo Allo 

Dave Allen 

The Goodies 

Road Runner 

F Troupe

The Goon Show (radio)

Bewitched, Adams Family, the Munsters, Roger Ramjet, Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny Show, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Division 4, Homicide, Boney, Number 96, The Box, The Muppet Show, etc.

The young bloke that played the role of Corky in Circus Boy, Doug, grew up to be the drummer in The Monkees. (Micky Dolenz).

The other one with the coyote was Ralph the coyote and Sam the sheepdog. The dog would get a hold of that coyote and punch the tripe out of him. They wouldn't make those cartoons today.

I'm with you Dougie. Also Foghorn Leghorn and not forgetting Elmer (I'll get you wabbit) Fudd.

Number 96,, Geez derek, wish had been on when I wuz a boy.

Professor Julius Sumner Miller...." Why is it so "

Good group too BigD. Followed his career into The Monkees. I enjoyed their TV show too. The Monkees were formed for the TV show and became popular as a pop group from that.

 The Simpsons has "Itchy and Scratchy", and then of course there is South Park. It's a different and more extreme kind of cartoon violence, but the writers manage to get away with it.

If you remember this one I bet you wish you could have forgotten it.

m.youtube.com/watch


The Outer Limits.
The man from UNCLE.
Marine Boy.
Keystone Cops.
Mr Squiggle.
World Championship Wrestling with Gentleman Jack Little and his Palaco shirts.

All those suggestions keep on prompting more shows into my mind. Such as:

The Wild, Wild West,

Laugh In (With Goldy Hawn, Lily Tomlinson,  'very interesting, but stupid')

Yes watsea, I think it might have been Gunsmoke,

Anyone remember the Nock & Kirby guy who would explain all the great hardware products available at Nock & Kirbys In Sydney. He was known as Joe the gadget man.
