Post Race!

The real question is why wouldn't you ask that here.

[szlamany]

I remember Gilligan's Island in color. I'm not entirely sure that was possible. That show didn't run for all that long, and went off the air before I was born. Was it shot in black and white and colorized?

I suppose the follow up question would be: Why would I ask THAT here?

First season black and white - 2nd/3rd season in color.

Same thing happened to I Dream of Jennie - even though NBC was testing color in 1965, Jennie remained black and white until color generally overcame the nation in 66 (for prime-time at least).

[dclamp]

They should revert back to black and white. It will save on bandwidth.

I love Lucy

[dday9]

I watched I Dream of Jennie almost every night for a year to fall asleep.

[dday9]

I love master's car.

[Gruff]

The studio considered Jeenie's original costume too risque.
They altered it to cover up her belly button.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was wondering who this "Jennie" was.

[Gruff]

subsequent marathonus!

[Gruff]

I looked it up and we are all wrong. It was: I Dream Of Jeannie.

Few remember it was a cheap knock off of the movie "The Brass Bottle".
Burl Ives was the Genie. Thank your stars they covered up his belly button.

Barbara Eden was in the movie but She played the part of Tony Randall's straight laced girl friend. Not alas a Genie.

[Shaggy Hiker]

But in the TV series, she was the Jeanuine item.

[szlamany]

I'm so glad I left you with that misspelling to have such phun with...

[NeedSomeAnswers]

I love Lucy

I Hate Lucy

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Why are we reminiscing about old TV?, most of it was just as bad as New TV apart from cartoons, cartoons used to be better (apart from Cartoon films, damn there is always an exception!!!).

[Shaggy Hiker]

I seem to remember that the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" cartoon was pretty good...so it didn't last long.

[Gruff]

Howdy Doody, Tom Terrific. George of the Jungle, Felix the Cat (Lame.), Super Chicken, Touche Turtle. (You knew the job was dangerous when you took it Fred.), Flash Gordon (Not the cartoon). Superman (George Reeves) Sky King, Rocket man, Roy Rogers, Daniel Boone (Fess Parker), Abbot and Costello movies, Laural and Hardy, Tons of westerns.

Random memory time?

My sister was into Zoom and the Electric Company (I think that was the name).

[szlamany]

Electric Company came out of Manhattan - from the same place Sesame Street came from (CTW - Children's Television Workshop). Spent my childhood in NYC.

Zoom was a couple of years later and from PBS station WGBH - a Boston production.

My first job was mixing audio in a public access TV station in 1978. We had equipment where you would actually splice the video tape - cut and re-connect physically. Marked with a yellow crayon as you slowly hand spun it around the helical head of the video pickup.

Memories...

Random memory time?

My sister was into Zoom and the Electric Company (I think that was the name).

My first grade teacher would show us Zoom and the Electric Company whenever she wanted to shut us up for a half hour or so. So we watched a lot of episodes...

One of my favorites was Hong Kong Phooey - a bumbling crime fighting dog voiced by Scatman Crothers.

[FunkyDexter]

My old band used to do a rock version of the sound track to Hong Kong Phooey. It's was Henrific!

We also did the Banana Splits.

[dday9]

Hong Kong Phooey, the number 1 super guy!

[FunkyDexter]

Hong Kong Phooey, faster than the human eye

[Shaggy Hiker]

I didn't see many of those.

[FunkyDexter]

For shame, Shaggy, you broke the lyrical chain. You've got no style. No groovy style. And I bet your car stops.

[Gruff]

Phooey on that hooey.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I didn't know the lyrics, so I headed off in a different direction. Not a better direction, or even a very directed direction, but a different one.

[homer13j]

The Airing Of Grievances went a bit too far this year...

Woman Charged with Attempted Murder after Beating Husband with ‘Festivus Pole’

[Shaggy Hiker]

Well, the holidays CAN be a bit stressful.

[dday9]

Merry Christmas y'all, I probably won't be on until Monday or so.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Merry Christmas, all y'all. I'll be on and off throughout. Lots of eating to be done, though.

[szlamany]

Post race seems like the best place - Merry Christmas!!

[homer13j]

Merry Christmas.

[Gruff]

I'll be here at work until 2:00pm or so.

Peace on Earth and good will to geeks everywhere.

[szlamany]

Off to my wife's 80 year old parents house for all those seven fishes Italians eat.

I do not eat seafood.



I'm sure our resident fish biologist has something to add to this

[dclamp]

I will be working tomorrow. Yay
