[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 2092763, member: 6889"] One of the things that brought us together back then was the fact that our TV choices were so limited. Everyone watched pretty much the same programs. You ALL watched the original Star Trek (in syndication in the early 70s through 80s), Gunsmoke, Bonanza, SWAT, The Hulk, Wonder Woman (who I had an intense crush on and who my wife looks like!), Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Starsky and Hutch, Ironsides, Cannon, Barnaby Jones, Battlestar Galactica, Barretta, Hawaii 5-0, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, reruns of Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Andy Griffith, Branded, Wagon Train, Rawhide, Paladin, The Guns of Will Sonnet and The Wild, Wild West. Then when our few cable channels came along, we had Batman, The Green Hornet, Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel, etc. And lest we all forget, those after school cartoons....politically incorrect and banned by today's thought police, but those old Warner Brothers Cartoons were so cool. We had a connection to being outside. Riding our bikes, shooting our BB/pellet guns and later our .22s. We used to enter old buildings and nose around. Never looking to destroy or vandalize, just full of boyish curiousity and adventure. We'd camp out and canoe and ride horses and wander (and be in wonder) through the woods...the hills, the streams, the draws and meadows. Didn't need too much Sunday Schoolin' to see God's handiwork outside. We felt like little grownups as we ordered our hamburgers and made plans at the Tastee Freeze. The world was open and full of wonder. Anything was possible. Then it all changed. Hang on to those memories boys. They are the only thing we have left as our country hurtles headlong towards a quasi-Orwellian demise. [/QUOTE]
