Vaughn, have you ever listened to a song the Smothers Brothers recorded titled, "Saturday Night at the World"? I have the original album; they did some decent music but sure were good (and best remembered) for their comedy.
Some on this list we do still see thanks to the thousands of channels we receive -- none of which have anything worth watching, but they are plentiful.
I miss all those old shows, too. Laugh In was a had-to-watch.
Also add to the list:
My So Called Life
Thirty Something
Howdy Doody
Captain Kangaroo
Murphy Brown
Golden Girls
Mary Tyler Moore
This list could be endless.
Quality programs are no more.
Current shows I enjoy: House; Bones.
Show that's now gone away that was quite good early, then deteriorated (IMHO): Gilmore Girls (the dialog was wonderful).
Did anyone watch the premier of Saving Grace last night? I stayed with it about 20 minutes, then found something else to do.
@ Linda: American Bandstand. Do you remember when it came "live" from Philadelphia, on during the weekdays in the afternoon, timed as I recall to "grab" the just-home-from-school teenage audience? While I was but a mere lad then, for some reason my dad would have it on, if he was home from work then, and I would watch away (while secretly wishing I could be watching "Superman").
Yes, I watched Superman, too. George Reeves played one of the Tartleton twins in GWTW. And M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E. My favorites were Karen, Cubby, and Darlene. Spin & Marty was good.
Remember the local Bandstand knockoff? On Channel 12. I was on it once, when I was about 11.
Speaking of local, KARD Gang Club. My parents had a friend who worked at Channel 3, so I spun the card cage and the wheel at different times.
Kitty Clover, anyone? I wanted a bike so bad, but I had an ear infection and ended up in the hospital getting it lanced that day, instead of getting to bid on the bike.
I love Simon & Garfunkel!! VT, tell your wife she has excellent taste...and your daughters, too. :) That's a good song, yes, it dredges up some uncanny similaries. If listened to closely, some of the words to Scarborough Fair/Canticle are thought provoking--the ones intertwined with Scarborough Fair. There are so many good ones they did. In high school, we coerced our speech teacher to let us play one of S&G's albums in class because of the sheer poetry of it.
Am I the only person that continues to think James Taylor's Fire & Rain refers to Vietnam, even though I've been told it doesn't?
Vaughn I'm a Simon and Garfunkel fan too. I'll need to listen and refresh my memory.
Do you all still have your old albums? I think I have around 200 left. At least my 8 tracks are gone.
http://www.kwch.com/Global/story.asp?S=5567188
Yes on the old albums, although I had to practically wrestle the ex for some of them. LOL I'm still mad because he got the compiled complete set of the Beatles on 14 CDs. But in spite of having the vinyls of who knows how many, my turntable needs a new cartridge/needle. I've replaced a few faves (S&G, James Taylor and a couple of others) with CDs or have downloaded (paid for) my favorite singles.
I wish I had the set of singles the aforementioned neighbors had from the late 50's & early 60's. Hot Diggity, Dog Diggity was one I really remember. And Dean Martin's That's Amore. My kids think I'm nuts, but I can guarantee they know the words to plenty of mid to late 60's music.
Rox, my kids also know the words to much of the mid to late 60s music, together with a fair amount of early 70s music. On "Fire and Rain", I recall a story that the same was about a stay in a mental hospital, but don't remember anything else. Agreed on Scarborough Fair/Canticle.
Wayne knows all the song titles, all the artists, all the movies, television shows, actors, actresses, the lyrics, the time frames... All part of the wealth of useless information he carries around. Actually, I'm jealous but still contend that if I put any effort into remembering surely I could...
VT, I hear ya on the Bridge Over Troubled Waters. My strongest memory is of listening to it in my dorm room at college, beginning to end, over and over. Then a few months later, singing with the title song as we drove home after spending a weekend with a friend at KU. Fall 1969 and early 1970. Those were the days...
Rox, you mean you were one of the heretics (as my wife and roommates) who didn't have "Tapestry" playing constantly? My elder, as may be apparent, due to her early and constant exposure to "my generation" music, obtained "Tapestry" her Freshman year in college. On end-of-year move-out day she had it playing in her dorm room, and was visited by countless (her words) mothers standing in her doorway with a far-away look in their eyes....
"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Judith Viorst. I had to look it up on Amazon. The title was driving me crazy. LOL Belated congrats to your elder and her friends on their project. How fascinating!
Project sequel. Kelly's group went first. The rest of the class was not pleased.
As for "Alexander and...", I knew you were close, but I, too, couldn't come up with it, so off to Amazon to search 'children's books' and it came up first. How lucky can one get? 'James' was a good guess and probably from "James and the Giant Peach". Weird book, but then Roald Dahl writes quite a lot of weird stuff. Willy Wonka, anyone?
Illustrating differences in offspring, nothing new here for Linda, Rox, et al, but perhaps helpful to the "younger" readers. In high school, Kelly, the elder, was one of those "If there's 100% possible, 99.99% isn't good enough" types, while Lindsay, the younger, was one of those "If 90% is an A, then 90.01% is more than sufficient" types. Wonderful offspring, both of them; both very bright, capable (thanks to their mother) folks. Kelly, thank goodness, has mellowed a bit with experience; Lindsay has become a bit more aware of the "just showing up isn't quite enough" reality of life. Very proud of both of them. :-)
You won't get by with giving all the credit to their Mother among this crowd, we know better.
And maybe "just showing up" wasn't the best choice of words for not needing to try harder when you've accomplished the best they give. Pacing yourself isn't a bad thing.
Are you the 99.99% isn't good enough or 90.01% is sufficient? My guess is Kelly takes after Dad in his youth; still see a lot of that.
I think the bar should be set very high but admit I don't set many bars nowadays.
I have a Lindsay, too, VT, only "Lyndsay", my #2.
Speaking of "older" music; just heard "Diamonds and Rust" by Joan Baez. A personal favorite, not much played anymore.
we have the useless info thing in common.
Let me see Wayne, hmmm...
you watch:
History Channel
PBS (Nova)
Discovery
National Geographic
Military channel
Etc.
I'll bet we could talk for hours about things and places that we've never done or seen, HA!
While on the net, it captured my attention the way you've posted this type of topic and i found it well informative at the same time very entertaining to read.
