PS. In case you didn’t notice, the photo insert above is nothing like the lead actors in the ACE DRUMMOND serials, it’s an insert of yours truly and his fabulous better half, a good many moons hence. Andre’
My best favorite show was “Les belles histories des pays d’en haut” with Seraphin Poudrier and Donalda. I am French Canadian born and raised. Then there was Bonanza, of course, I dream of Jeannie and the Ed Sullivan show. We never went to the movies or the circus but the black and white TV did me just fine….
We were not taken for any shows but may be a circus or two. I liked those trapeze acts. During my teen age years I got glued to Archie Comics.
I remember going WAY back and watching the Soupy Sales Show.
I remember shows like Bewitched, The Big Valley, Bonanza, Gilligan’s Island, and many more. Then the cartoons were Scooby Doo, Pink Panther, the Jetsons, etc.
Hi Carol, I remember those too. I liked Bonanza the most.
