(sister doesn't rhyme - how sexist is that!)I loved Spotty Dog the most. I liked Andy Pandy as well and loved Bill and Ben and, not forgetting, Little Weed.

Don't think the Ads were particularly risque in those days
I liked the Woodentops too and The Flowerpot Men but Andy Pandy irritated me, especially when nobody ever discovered Looby Loo doing stuff on her own

Re: New Guy
As a family, we mostly watched TV in the evenings after dark. After school, I was allowed to go out and play for an hour or so and then came homework and dinner. If it was still daylight out, I could go back outside and continue playing with my buddies. During summer, I stayed out until my sister or my Mom would find me and get me home. I would go out in the morning and we'd play anything from baseball to basketball, tennis, riding bikes, or just palling around together talking about what we were going to do when we could drive a car or what we were going to be when we grew up. Oh, the dreams! I didn't quite live up to my own expectations, but I didn't do too bad either. I only have 2 regrets in my life and that's pretty good for a guy my age.21-03-2013, 02:18 PM
