I was born in 1962. One of my earliest memories of watching TV is watching"Batman" (1966-1968) starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Caesar Romero, and the rest. It was just so much fun singing along with the Batman theme song (pretty easy for a four year old), and trying to say the silly "Holy Hairdo" and "Holy Alter Ego Batman!" sayings by Robin. What a great, silly show!
And then I remember sitting in Daddy's lap and watching "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1968), "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966), "Petticoat Junction" (1963-1970), "Hogan's Heroes" (1965-1971), "Gunsmoke" (1955-1975) (Mama liked "Bonanza"), "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" (1954-1991), and "Gomer Pyle USMC" (1964-1969). I barely remember watching "The Outer Limits" (1963-1965) and "The Twilight Zone" (1959-1964), and cowering under an end table. We also loved watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" (1948-1971), and yes my sisters screamed and squealed with the rest of teenage America when the Beatles appeared.

No gay themes there (although robin was a little touchy-feely)
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the Ed Sullivan show on a tv that had a face so small it had a magnify glass in front of it. Wow I am showing my age. (map)
