Do you have a memory that is triggered by a tv show?

And, of course, I remember The Lone Ranger.
And then, when we finally got a TV, watching Snooky Lanson and Dorothy Collins and Gisele MacKenzie on the Hit Parade. And who can forget Lawrence Welk, Loretta Young, Ed Sullivan, Alfred Hitchcock, Dragnet, I spy, and all the other favorites. And then there was a Sunday night favorite that every week it was one of 3 different themes (or stars/stories). Does anyone remember that one? It escapes me right now. Each week it was a different mystery.
Those were the days.

There's a new(?) network here in Dallas-Fort Worth broadcast called RTV. Retro TV. It has shows like Airwolf, I Spy, Rockford Files, Dragnet, Dr. Welby, Knight Rider, and Magnum PI is on right now. Hot Tom Selleck. Gotta go watch.

If I hear an Elvis song, an old TV show with him or see an Elvis movie, I'm transformed back to the (I think late 50s & 60s). The Ed Sullivan Show was his first TV debut, the Jail House Rock & Hound Dog songs & his Hawaiian movies were all glorious to us. Living here in the South, older folks didn't like his moves, but the kids/teens over-ruled, so the music stayed. We'd ride around when we got old enough in cars with WLS Chicago blaring all the tunes of the 60s. We didn't turn out too bad, did we?

Promo was a really low budget robot.
Do you remember Dialing for Dollars?

If I'm lucky enough to find a rerun of The Mary Tyler Moore Show it immediately reminds me of being single, having my own apartment in New York. We all wanted to be Mary but in truth we were all more Rhoda! The popularity of that show made it cool to be 30 and unmarried.

I'm a little behind on reading and just saw this stream. I just read the whole list and I must be really OLD or just strange. I remember rushing home from grade school to watch old old reruns of Shirley Temple movies. I remember the first episode of "Lost...IN...Space....." I loved that show. Later as a teen I also loved to race home to see Dark Shaddows w/mom as well. She was starting to collect the DVD's just before she passed on. 4 years ago. I haven't had the nerve to pull any out to rewatch, afraid I may break into tears missing her. Good times back then even though the show's acting and set was as crappy as it gets. My DH turned me into a treckie as well.
