    Re: Remember when ?

    I remember listening to this on my AM radio when I was home from school sick (stupid flu):

    There was a lot of even more disco music on the radio then too, yuck.
    For what it's worth, I actually like ELO music most of the time. Except if I'm ill.

          Re: Remember when ?

          I remember there were two shows, back to back, although I don't remember which night they were on.

          "Occasional Wife", was followed by "Accidental Family".

          Coinicidence? I think not.

          Another one that stands out was "My Mother the Car".

              These were in the '60s.

              Occasional Wife promo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LigHqvmOCyg

              Looks like it was colorized, and poorly at that.

              Accidental Family: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=30tDnJDzuG8

              This was all black and white.

                  Our family got our first 18" color TV in 1969. The first show I clearly remember in color is The Brady Bunch. I remember how shockingly bright the orange and hot pink shirts looked on TV. =^..^=
                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      The color was anything but natural in the early days.

                      My aunt was the first in the family to get a a color set. We used to flock to her house to watch the limited number of color shows.

                      Somebody used to sell multi colored film you would put over the screen to make it look like you had a color TV.

                        THE RAY BRADBURY THEATHER [ science fiction in its time. loved this show ]

                        NIGHT GALLERY

                        THE TIME ZONE

                        This one you in the usa might not know. [comedy ] Two neighbours in england apartments not getting along
                        Its called love thy neighbour.

                                While I can't say that I don't find the modern "Batman" movies entertaining, I am a little disappointed with them.
                                That is because the original "Batman" serial was a comedy with bright and colorful imagery.
                                Honestly, back then the one time "Batman" was pushed out of a window on the top floor of a high rise all he said was "Oops.".
