The Wild Wild West
When I was a kid, this was my favorite TV show. I had the Wild Wild West Lunchbox, and was proud to have it. Jim West and Artemus Gordon were the shit. I still wish I had that lunchbox, It might be worth something now. It even had the Wild Wild West Thermos.
Bonanza
I remember going to the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe as a kid. I’ve got pictures of it somewhere. I was always partial to Hoss. He was everybody’s friend. I think that theme park is long gone.
The Six Million Dollar Man
Chock full-0-cheese, but as an 8 year old kid, you had to watch. At school, we all pretended to be this guy. I can still hear that sound he makes when Steve Austin did something bionic. No matter how cool you think you may be, you never put the wood to Farrah Fawcett. Just remember that.
The Twilight Zone
Most of these were before my time, but re-runs were different then they are now. This is still a favorite. Rod Serling is a stud. He served in WWII, was a bit of a free thinker, and the Twilight Zone was his baby. It shows. I’m a fan. I still watch these.
Hogans Heroes
My big brother turned me onto this one. Check out Richard Dawson, before he was kissing old ladies and shouting “Survey SAID!”. Classic.
Star Trek
I admit it, Me and Missus Zip are Trekkies. Even been to a convention. Gene Roddenberry was the man.
Ahhhh, they don’t make em like they used to 🙂
