Throwback Thursday

This show dates back to the days of radio when it was called 'The Candid Microphone'. It made it's way to television in 1948 and continued well into the 1970's.

It was in black and white, and it featured kids doing what kids do. We knew it was an old show, but we laughed at it and waited to see more.

Another Saturday morning cartoon from the minds of Sid and Marty Krofft, that featured a family transported to a mysterious world via a time portal.

During the era of Saturday morning cartoons and long before special networks, and video  playback machines, kids would gather in front of the television for their weekly fix.

The show that brought real issues to prime time viewers, and there will never be a television series like it.

This campy, goofy sitcom featuring versions of classic horror monsters debuted on September 24, 1964 and ran through the spring of 1966.

The Gong Show ran in the mid 1970's, I remember it was on during the day so we would catch it after school.

From 1968 to 1973 this show provided laughter on a weekly basis, with catch phrases like "Sock it to Me", "Very Interesting", and "You Bet Your Sweet Bippy".

One of the funniest sitcoms ever, from Fred 'G' Sanford's fake heart attacks, "I'm coming Elizabeth", to the endearing phrase spoken to  Lamont, "You Big Dummy", and his constant, hilarious battle of insults with Aunt Esther.

I was a little boy, so give me some credit for having an imagination, as this was a very campy, silly show, that ran for one season, from the minds of Sid and Marty Krofft.
