Old TV Shows

Mickey Mouse, et al

Here's a couple that you "kiddies" may have missed:


The greatest set of "ears" that ever graced a TV screen;
THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB - 1955-1959

ANNETTE FUNICELLO

I, too, was there during that era. Yes, I have received AARP mail.

How about the babes on "American Bandstand?"

With all due respect to our member and my friend, SkyKing, the original "Sky King" of '50s "Songbird" fame. I loved how he started out flying a Bamboo Bomber and upgraded to a 310.

There was a TV show during the '50s based on the "Steve Canyon" comic strip. The show was named, appropriately enough, "Steve Canyon".

"12 O'Clock High," starring Robert Lansing originally and then Paul Burke, was a wonderful series during the '60s. Yeah, they used the same aerial combat camera footage again and again, but the stories were riveting. "12 O'Clock High," the movie, starring the late, great Gregory Peck, was similarly riveting.

..."Sky King" of '50s "Songbird" fame. I loved how he started out flying a Bamboo Bomber and upgraded to a 310...

The "Bomber" was my favorite on that series. I think a 310 would definetly be a step down. I would trade a pair of Continentals for some "Shakey Jakes" any day. And I have also seen ALL of the Sky King episodes. Hence, my screen name, thank you very much! Extra credit to the person who can name Sky King's dog...

Cheers,
Skyking (Out of the western sky...)

Elisabeth Shue when she was on "Call to Glory"

Don't you mean Liz Shue when she's on ANYTHING?

Yes, but she was hotter when "flying" a T-6

I can't believe that no one mentioned "McGyver"......the dude could fix anything with a roll of duct tape.

In japan I vaguely remember a show on FEN called "Flying Tigers" Kinda like the Black sheep but based on the AVG.

Glad to see that Dallas was not left out....what a show.....


hopefully someday it will be back on TV in reruns.......

gotta love ole JR........

About a year back it was on reruns on the TNN cable network- it would be interesting to see if SoapNet cable network could pick it up, especially since that network's currently showing its spinoff, Knot's Landing.
As for SkyKing, that was part of my regular Saturday morning viewing when I was very young...........

You beat me to it! My favorite show as a kid.

"IV with lactate ringers, stat!"

And of course, the original naughty nurse, Dixie McCall!


She's the reason I only stalk, I mean date, nurses these days

 

[KickSave]

Ahh Daisy Duke... the only star to have a form of clothing named after her.


"slip off them Daisy Duke's and come 'ere, little darlin'... "

 

[bobbysamd]

"Cry Me a River"

And of course, the original naughty nurse, Dixie McCall!

You're right; there was something about Julie London.

 

[Typhoon1244]

Does anybody remember a show called Spencer's Pilots? It was a long time ago (early '70's) and I was very young...all I remember is that it was the first place I ever saw a biplane with landing gear on top as well as on the bottom!
