We weren't allowed much tv growing up, my parents had this philosophy that it would rot our minds and bodies. But, as kids will we found out that our dad had a weakness for John Wayne ~grins~ so I grew up half in love with John Wayne and everytime he'd throw one of those little vixens over his knee for a spanking even at a young age my mind would be screaming...

Ya baby Ya!!!

i relate more to Laverne and Shirley,loved that show(raised in the 70's) but will openly admit i grew up in a household more like "king of the hill" now here's the freaky thing. Peggy Hill is the cartoon replica of my mother,she had the same glasses,same hair style and same carrer in the 70's and 80's! (not kidding) than god i was adopted,if not i'd look like Bobby if i wasn't! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was raised in an overprotective household... I wasn't allowed to see my first PG-13 movie until I was 16! No MTV, no "modern" television shows because there was too much sex and violence on them.

So I grew up watching reruns of Happy Days, Welcome Back Kotter, Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H, Bewitched... basically the entire Nick at Nite lineup. I never liked I Dream of Jeannie because I thought she was too ditzy. But at age 3 I'd happily watch Alfred Hitchcock Presents!

And it's kind of sad how many people my age (I'm 20) have never seen any of these shows. They may not have had fast cars and strippers and shit like that, but dear God did they miss out on some real comedy gems. None of that can compare to the Sweathogs, fo' serious.

loved watching the waltons way back when. i wanted to live in the kind of place they did. honestly, i still want to live in that kind of place! alas, it doesn't exist.

Actually, it does....Schuyler and Scottsville Virginia, where Earl Hamner grew up, were pretty unchanged for a long time...now Scottsville ( complete with the Dew Drop Inn) has been partially yuppified, but it is still out in the boonies. You can just get an esspresso to go with your yards of copper tubing and bags of sugar...

that's pretty funny actually. if/when i come back to the states for a while, virginia is one of the places i'm looking at. but do these places make you live there for 20 generations before you're considered one of the townfolk?

what i'm REALLY hankering for these days, is a family diner.

I'm from rural appalachia, AL not VA, and the whole thing on being accepted is really quite complicated. If you move in and are friendly and don't make waves you'll mostly be ok. You might not hear the very best gossip and the folks who hunt off season might not show up wanting to know if you could use some venison but folks will talk to you and such. Doing stuff like joining the volunteer fire dept. or at least donating to it will help as well.

If you buy land and neighbors are used to coming onto the land hunting/fishing/riding etc. then you're best served by letting them keep doing it or at the very least talking to them about it before you put up any fencing. On that subject it is almost never a good idea for an outsider to come in and buy land at a tax sale, that will get you called a carbetbagger and then you might as well give it up.

BTW these sort of places rarely have what I'd call a family diner. If the town is small enough and rural enough that the chains haven't moved in and no major highway runs through there just won't be a sit down dinner place. Folks just don't go out to eat that much. Probably will be a local hamburger place and might be a roadhouse(bar) out on a back road somewhere that serves food but for a real diner you need someplace with road traffic.

God, I love all these shows! I wish they'd start rerunning Mary Tyler Moore again... and Rhoda too. Heck, I'd love to watch Love Boat and Fantasy Island again just for the cheese factor! lol

Single funniest half hour on television, ever!: WKRP in Cincinati, the Thanksgiving Day episode involving the free turkey promotion. (I was layghing so hard when I first saw it, I almost passed out!)

It is a nice common ground.

There is a movie I love, I can't think of the name right now, same theme and some of the same people.

They just seem so young/inocent and care free.

The Lords of Flatbush?

I come from that generation which was brought up on programmes about some really extraordinary animals...

Animals such as Skippy...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uRQnrY5V-rY

....Lassie....

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l457Eg33qJ4

..Champion the Wonder Horse...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-5i_pEYGe1o

...Black Beauty...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7y5qS7k-9i4

I cannot hear the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger..

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-2218Btx3wY

Then there was Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men..

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=glgAB9HsOXc

(I've got neighbours who communicate between each other in a similar fashion. I live in London)

Hector's House

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I_tVxvnEJko

Which is of course about a dog with a stiff back, Mrs Frog (we never got to see her husband) and Zsa Zsa the female cat....

..then there was Magic Roundabout...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c3DcChXNyYQ

There was a dog called Dougal who ate sugar cubes, a happy cow called Ermintrude who constantly had a flower in her mouth, Dylan a rabbit who seemed permanently stoned, Brian, Florence and Zebedee, who moved around on a large spring and jumped everywhere. I dreamed once of being like Zebedee, until a few trips to the A and E Department convinced me otherwise.

And then there was Batman and Robin

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xc3nrU8E-gQ

all about a leather clad cop and his sidebick who wore pantyhose and his mother's pantie girdles (I think). It took me some years to realise that KFC's Colonel Sanders wasn't in the show.

Then there was Doctor Who:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3HHQbGI92MY

(You can tell where the programmer who does the Winamp visuals got his inspiration).

And you wonder why I have strange dreams?

I had a pair of roller skates with a key and somehow wanted to learn how to skate, but not necessarily like this:

All great stuff, everyone… many of these I watched myself. :)

There was also;
HR Puffin’ Stuff
Land of the Lost
Lassie
The Mickey Mouse Club
The Romper Room

and I can not forget the show that inspired one of the most shaping events of my life; Family Affair

Also, as of late, this commercial has resurfaced in my memory. Is it just me, or does The Pied Piper come to other peoples minds as well?

That’s an awesome one.

Now there was a mom I could relate to.

I just thought of another;

Hogan’s Heroes

And…

You take the good; you take the bad; you take them both and there you have…. the facts of life; The Facts of Life.
