[waiting]
???
You on the move? stinkerbell
I make a special announcement every january 25th. Just for our glenn!
:)
Ahh, yes, Stinky, my love. The infamous 340 days 'til Saturnalia announcement. You love to yank my chain, don't you...... :)
QuoteThis date was probably chosen because the Winter Solstice and the ancient pagan Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia' and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took place in December.
The Winter Solstice is the day where there is the shortest time between the sun rising and the sun setting. It happens on December 21st or 22nd. To pagans this meant that the winter was over and spring was coming and they had a festival to celebrate it and worshipped the sun for winning over the darkness of winter. (The Winter Solstice in Scandinavia and some other parts of northern Europe is called Yule and is where we get Yule Logs from.)
The Roman Festival of Saturnalia took place between December 17th and 23rd and honoured the Roman god Saturn. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti means 'birthday of the unconquered sun' and was held on December 25th (when the Romans thought the Winter Solstice took place) and was the 'birthday' of the Pagan Sun god Mithra. In the pagan religion of Mithraism, the holy day was Sunday and is where get that word from!
Mustn't forget the reason for the major commercial shopping season of the year either. :)

I know I have seen that somewhere before, Raindog.. :)
Stinky is correct... she loves to rattle my cage every year and in a true loving manner, I have to set her straight.. heh
Offhand I dont remember the guys name, but think of the old Saturday Night Live skits.
Very Interesting...but stupid.
lol, if you remember them your an old fart like me. ;)
Shultz ?
I remember him but not his name... Google Artie Johnson - ???
Not quite -- Arte Johnson and worse yet --- Rowan and Martin's Laugh In
http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/rowan.htm
Worse yet... I remember it... [waiting]

I know nothinggggg
Yup ... me too. [waiting]
Laugh In was a little sophisticated for me when it was on TV, seems like I was about eight years old. Hogan's Heroes, yay! Loved that show, during about the same time period. Came on right after F Troop. Remember THAT one?
I knew of F troop, don't recall watching it.
I remember Andy of Mayberry, Ed Sullivan, Alfred Hitchcock, The Munsters, Lassie, The Lone Ranger, Sky King, The Cisco Kid.... [waiting]
Little Rascals "our gang" was a classic. When the sound was added and syndicated for TV in the early 50's . The remake didn't have the heart of the original.

Oh yes and Bonanza was an all time favorite.
What a hijack, huh?
Little Rascals is great. Just as fun to watch now as it ever was, maybe even more so.
That brings up one of my favorites... Amos and Andy....
I wonder if I completely covered Stinky's topic? hmm heh
But we thought you wanted to bury it Glenn. ;D
Just to continue the hi-jack; the funnest memory from Laugh In was that they predicted that Ronald Reagan would be president 20 years in advance. :)
And on the subject of Hogan's Hero's, a widow I know of a WWII POW who spent many month's is a German camp did not appreciate that TV show. It made me embarrassed to have like it. :-[
Anybody ever watch Zorro - I was in love with him at the young age of 5, I think :-* Or Lassie - us kids used to fight over who got to shake Lassie's paw ;D How 'bout Paladin "Have Gun will Travel" my brother used to love to sing that song - if me or my younger sis/bro tried to sing we did it in fear of our life :o And Sky King? or was that mentioned already ???
The Rifleman with Chuck Connors
I liked the addams family myself.

All the little boys had a crush on Morticia, and at an earlier age, Betty, Barney Rubble's wife in The Flintstones.
Then Josie and the Pussycats came out, and that was just too hot for my blood. Switched channels to watch Perry Mason and feel grown up.
The Monkeys.....I liked it...

Ummm uhhhh, no John..... [waiting]
If I did not submit myself for harassment by Stinky, she may lose interest in the forum, and then it would be up to you guys to harass me.
She is a valuable asset. It keeps me from falling asleep..... [ouch]

I actually use curlers to straighten my hair. If not I look like a poodle...
Glenn is correct, as usual.
Rowan and Martins Laugh In it was.
Remember the old comedy shows?
The Honeymooners and Red Skelton were my favs.
"One of these days Alice, POW, right in the kisser."
And Freddie the freeloader, as well as gurtrude and heathclift...
Man, that was awhile back eh? rofl
That was very close to the start of TV wasn't it? hmm
Hoffman Easyvision... I think that was our early tv set.
Round screen.. Black and white.
Saterday afternoon matinee.. Hopalong Cassidy.. John Wayne westerns...Lone Ranger... Yee Haw
Howdy Doody? I didn't really like him - I was just a little kid - but there wasn't much else on... d*
Remember all those silent cartoons? We'd get up early & watch the test pattern until the tv programming would start... ???
Glenn was especially fond of Capn Kangaroo & Mr Greenjeans ::) I liked Romper Room - remember when she'd look through that mirror out into television land & name names - I was always waiting for her to name my name :D
