I think I've seen them all so I really don't watch them much. I do watch the Waltons occasionally with my wife. That's very interesting. What shows did you work with ?

The Beverly Hillbillies was funny at the beginning. My mom liked Green Acres. I loved the theme song for green acres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly disagree. And I am one of "those kind" of women. If it perpetuated rape as the haters call it - I would be the first to speak out against it. the skunk relentlessly pursued the cat/dog despite her making it abundantly clear that she wasnt interested, running after her wherever she went and repeatedly grabbing caressing and kissing her despite her clearly not wanting him to........ Theres literally no way anyone could justify that not being rapey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shows did you work with ? Two local stations here in Oklahoma. Local news and local variety shows and country music live. Church services and music shows. And of course football games. We tape delayed most of those. KTEN in Ada and KWTV in Oklahoma city. KTEN was still black and white for all local stuff for a couple of years. It was a very stressful job and didn't pay well. It was also a total blast to do. But to really make any living I would have had to move to NYC or LA or Chicago to make any real money. I didn't want to live in those places to raise a family. I turned down a position as chief audio engineer for the dating game in the early 70s. LA just wasn't my bag of fun. Getting a First Class Radio-Telephone license opened up a lot of doors. Xerox was a huge blast also working on all our products. For the 1st class, it took three years of home study and college phours for the major in physics and math. And all the computer classes available in 1965-67 at our local college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, the technology used today for the young was handed down from those old slow off the line old timers. Today's young will do the same someday. And the beat goes on...

History of TV is only good when it helps our present time. Unfortunately, that is not the case now. I am not watching TV anymore. I do watch the news but that is just heartbreak and violence also. We should consider what is only vain. The good old days are long gone. If our life was drawn in a circle or a road just wide enough for two, who would you choose to stand next to you? a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
