Remember the wonder holiday variety shows every year at Christmastime ?
I was much younger than they were....but...Dean Martin's, Bob Hope's
Bing Crosby, Andy Williams.
They'd bring their families on year after year and we all grew up together.

Anyone else have to watch Lawrence Welk every Sat. night?  :72:

Have to is the key word! I never liked him much, but my Dad did. In those days the Dad was the boss of the TV!

At my house it was the Mom, but, then...there were only a few shows to choose from.
Today's kids could never fathom only having channels 2,4,7 9 11 and 13 and the TV signing off...yes SIGNING OFF with the Star Spangle banner sometime after the news.
Boy, have times changed!!! -loll

In my hometown, during the Prankster's childhood the local TV channels would sign off at midnight on Sundays to perform maintenance and put up a test pattern.

Does anyone remember the Lone Ranger?  Jay Thomas (DJ/comedian/actor) tells a real life Lone Ranger story on Letterman each year.  For those who haven't heard it, it's worth the watch:

I remember the Lone Ranger very well! If it was a western, it was on in my house. I even remember listening to it on the radio.

Does anyone else remember listening to the radio? My mom was a big fan of Helen Trent, and I can remember listening to it with her.

When my grandmother would come and visit we always listened to Helen Trent and other soaps on the radio.  After she would leave I would be hooked for awhile until school would start.  I remember listening to The Shadow, Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B ranch (not sure of the name) The Lone Ranger. 
At night I listened to a music radio show from Cincinnati but  can't remember the call letters.  They played rhythm and blues.

I remember going to see the Beatles when they came to Atlanta in the 60's.  The best performance I ever saw in person was James Brown.  He really put on a show and he was on stage longer than most top performers were.

Lucky you! I would have loved seeing the Beatles...or the Doors.

Remember when you took typing in HS?... and typing on those unforgiving typewriters that allowed for no mistakes?

Worse yet was having to type a paper for school. ..with no mistakes allowed.
You'd get almost to the bottom and .... OH NO..... have to retype the whole page again.  :41:
Now....and I know I 'm sounding old....but....LOL....I am.... -duh-
Now the kids use the computers( of course)....zip this out, put in that, click a button and the pages come spilling out.
They should only know what I went through...and how many hours it took to do ONE assignment!!

My high school had a split schedule due to overcrowding, so my first class was at 6:30 in the morning, and it was typing! Needless to say...never did get very good!

Remember sock hops? So much fun!

Oh yes, we had such fun roller skating...and now I never see kids doing this any more.

Remember watching Dr. Kildare?
Richard Chamberlain was so cute.
