Check this out. Now I really feel older.

Ok ... I know I'm on the tail end of the baby boomer generation ... and I remember my folks still having a B&W tv ... but I think there was color tv even though we didn't have it at the time.

If I'm incorrect about that, it's just the impressionable memories of a 2-5 yr old ... so I would not swear in court that it's 100% accurate.

 

There were only 2 I'd never heard of.

 

Wow! That's really great! There were quite a few I never heard of but I think I did recognize a lot also. I know a lot has changed since then but not necessarily for the better.

 

The 2 I'd never heard of, or maybe it might be better to say don't remember, were probably shows my parents didn't watch.

The kids nowadays don't realize how short a time all night TV has been around. They all used to sign off at anywhere from 10-10:30 or as late as midnight, but no 1 a.m. stuff at all. They might not even begin broadcasting until 7 or 8 in the morning.

 

Thanks for the nostalgia trip, batguano! That was great. Jeezz it's a long way from those black and white days to the color HD flat panel big screens of today. But do we really enjoy it any better?

(Why is it so hard for me to say your username? Last summer I took my family to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. The guide says that hugh quantities of batguano from the cave are extracted for fertilizer every year. I didn't know that.).

 

Great...there were a few I didn't remember. Nice nostalgia trip...the +1 even remembered alot (in reruns - ).

 

Ha,the good old days...

 

I didn't realize I watched that much TV as a kid!
