<p>I rushed home everyday to watch Dark Shadows, have my cinnamon toast and whole milk, and I couldn’t sleep with my neck exposed if some biting had happened in that show</p>
<p>And I read every Nancy Drew- she rocked</p>
<p>I also had a crush on Mickey Dolan of the Monkees…all my friends of course like Davy Jones, but me, I was different</p>
<p>My D thinks Jim Morrison is “hot” (or was)</p>
<p>We had to visit his grave in Paris…</p>
<p>My mom used to pack our school lunches with wax paper – no baggies back then. </p>
<p>We didn’t have a school cafeteria – but we did have “hot dog” day and my mom was the “hot dog” chairman.</p>
<p>Jeez, I rushed home to watch re-runs of “Burns & Allen” and “The Bowery Boys” movies. Lamentable, I know.</p>
<p>My parent’s considered “Love American Style” too racy for us to watch.</p>
<p>Abott and Costello,</p>
<p>the ABC movie of the week </p>
<p>mission impossible on saturday nights</p>
<p>Jeez, I rushed home to watch re-runs of “Burns & Allen” and “The Bowery Boys” movies. Lamentable, I know.</p>
<p>I figured you more for * 21 Jump street*</p>
<p>Sunday Night Mysteries- Columbo, McCloud</p>
<p>And when they swtiched darryns (sp?)…well…</p>
<p>You know you’re old if you remember when Barry Bonds’ dad, Bobby Bonds, was a rookie.</p>
<p>CGM–my favorite Sunday Mystery Movies where Banacek and McMillan and Wife!</p>
<p>Other shows I stayed up late for: Hawaii 5-0, Medical Center, Marcus Welby, MD and Mannix.</p>
<p>And there was a line-up at one point (when I was in about sixth grade) which included Nanny and the Professor, Courtship of Eddie’s Father, and Room 222, all of which i adored.</p>
<p>Banacek- that’s HOT- he was soooo sexy in that turtle neck</p>
<p>“This reminds me of the original “car seats”… remember them? just a box like structure that had these two metal hooks that slipped on the front car seat.”</p>
<p>We also had one of these car seats. One day we went downtown to see a Barnum and Bailey circus parade. My little sister was in her car seat…when she saw the elephants walking down the street she got excited and stood up in the little chair. Just then my mom had to stop, and my sister flew into the windshield and got a cut on her forehead. (Nothing serious though, she was okay afterward) </p>
<p>So I guess that’s why they don’t use these car seats anymore!</p>
<p>There was this imported toothpaste…I forget the name. It was from somewhere in Scadinavia and was pink. It came in a smallish tube (probably a lead-based tube!) that rolled up with a metal key. Popular among the Mother Earth types because it wasn’t as sweet as US brands. This was long before the advent of “Tom’s of Maine”…we thought we were trendy to discover such an exotic and “correct” product. </p>
<p>I can’t remember the name of this brand, anyone know?</p>
<p>Sorry, EK, I’ve heard of 21 Jump Street but never saw it and don’t know what it’s about…it may have been before my time.</p>
<p>I Spy. (The TV series. With Bill Cosby in a non-comedic role. Sorta stunning to see someone black in a starring role on TV. And they didn’t even sing or dance.)</p>
<p>Didnt you star in it?
I heard it * jumped the shark* when you left

<p>I rushed home (in elementary school) to LISTEN to the soaps on the radio. Helen Trent, Our Gal Sunday and either Ma Perkins or the Second Mrs. Burton.
Jmmom - I have met Greybeard; he is younger than I and I think than you, too.</p>

<p>Ah, the memories…Dark Shadows, The Monkees (was the first album I owned, 2nd was Crimson and Clover), wax paper wrapped sandwiches, the new plastic smell of your new rain slicker for school, velveta cheese sandwiches, babysitting for neighbors for $.50/hr ($1/hr after midnight), drive in movies in your pjs when young and with your boyfriend when a teenager.</p>
<p>Not in pjs with the boyfriend!:)</p>
<p>Anyone remember the contest they had when Wilma was pregnant on the Flintstones to name her baby? I remember my dad and I rushing to the post office right before midnight to drop our contest form in the mailbox. My dad’s idea was “Francis” in case it was a boy and “Frances” in the event of a girl…and the winner was Pebbles!</p>
<p>“I spy” just made me flash on “Mod Squad” for some reason. That trio was utterly cool… And The Man from U.N.C.L.E. </p>
<p>As a kid, watching Captain Kangaroo & I Love Lucy on morning TV, and later Superman & Star Trek after school (they must have been in syndication.) </p>
<p>And as a teen, Dick Cavett. Wow, I still miss him.</p>
