FKNA!
 Remember when the first trucks came out??? Holy game changer. I used to board to elementary school with three of my buddy's. We would stop for a donut and a milk, cost us a nickle.

Oh I love them all!  Mutual Omaha's wild kingdom!

But I still get shots of panic at the tic toc-ing of the lead into 60 Minutes.  That was the sound of the end of freedom and the stress of Sister Rose Mary.  I never did homework over the weekends and dreaded Monday mornings!

MASH
1 Adam 12
Emergency
The Walton's ( i thought Ellen was hot)

I think every kid went to bed at 8! It was 8 wasn't it?

BA BA Black Sheep  Awesome show.  It used to be a fight between my sisters.  Little House on the Prairie or Ba Ba Black sheep.  Monday night at 8 after religion class.   My dad had Mercury station wagon(429).   We used to put the seats down and it was all metal.  He would gun it and slam on the breaks all the way home with like six of us in it.  

Oh yeah.  My world changed at 8pm sunday evening.  No more running wild through the woods till next friday evening.

We’d sneak in a pick up game of football or smear the ....  but generally it was school, chores, dinner, shower, homework repeat...

And then came that glorious freedom of friday afternoon and a lifetime till the god damn 60 minutes  

BA BA FTW!

totally forgot about that show

I'm still laughing at the tic toc cause it's so true!

I kinda remember BaBa Black Sheep.. was it WW2 fighter pilots?  

How about Laverne and Shirley? I remember an episode where they went out to a fancy restaurant with Lenny and Squiggly.  The napkins were folded on the table. They couldnt figure out what their purpose was and then decided they were hats and put them on there heads. My dad howled with laughter for 20 minutes!  

some good shit! Hogans Heroes

pond hockey!

... and every other (unorganized) sport. we played whatever game was in season until dark when we got home covered in mud, blood and bruises!

dirt bombs, firecrackers and GI Joes!

Hogan’s hero’s was late 60’s. I think it ended in 71.
MASH was all 70s and quite entertaining.

Hogan's Heroes was awesome.  Mash went on way to long.  Some good moments but lost it when Alda became director.

You know there was a problem when the show ran longer than the war itself

Spending hours in a Lake George T-shirt store trying to decide if I wanted the Stones lips silkscreen heat transfer T-shirt on the ringed T or the Led Zeppelin torched Hindenburg silkscreen.......

Dirtbombs!  Dirt bomb wars!!

A  late 70's ,2 door chocolate VW Rabitt with a GD Hamburger  storage Box on top  , heading for Maine vacations . holding Two adults , two teen aged kids , a  FARTING 100 lb Black  lab owho sprawled over the kids laps and bombed All the GD way from the St Lawrence River until we dropped  him off at my BILs in Utica then proceeded to  Maine and a lobster pig out first nite in

Oh no AC and i had to Hold onto that damn Hamburger storage box and  drive one handed going over the very windy ,high arched Piscatauqua River bridge .

But Happy as hell to be going .  That loveable damn dog  was a good ole boy but sumbitch was like a toxic waste dump . he could peel the paint off that bug !

Did this gig and trips to the Cape several times in the 70's

It was during Season 6 where Alda completely took over and MASH became a showcase for his preachy political correctness instead of being funny. This is actually a place where bitching about liberals is appropriate, as opposed to the Trump threads.

RE: the braless 70's
Went to a pet expo in Niagara Falls, Canada today and had a little flashback in the form of an attendee in a thin, tight white cotton shirt. This was spoiled (or maybe enhanced) by the addition of extra bumps from the nipple studs. Sorry but no picture. I do have a picture of a couple wearing tails:


Canada is a bit different from the states!
