Must See TV!
I grew up in a time before TV was garbage. In the 1960s and 1970s, television watching was a family activity. Some of my favorite shows were The Brady Bunch, Starsky and Hutch (the REAL one), Streets of San Francisco, The Flip Wilson Show, Family Affair, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, American Bandstand, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda - gosh so many.
Here's a clip from a particularly stellar example of 1970's television production. The show was called Sigmund and Sea Monsters. Watch and be awed:
What were some of your favorite television shows?
Do you remember the words to the song from your favorite show?
Here's one to get you started:
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a mighty sailing man
The skipper, brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough.
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.
The ship set shore on the shore of this uncharted desert isle,
With Gilligan
The Skipper too.
The Millionaire, and his wife.
The Movie Star
The Professor
And Mary Ann.
Here on Gilligan's Isle.
Yep, remembered all those words myself!
You post one.
