  • BA Added Thanks Mel for the memories.
  • Jo Added Hey Mel. I sure did enjoy this video..... Thanks so much.....
  • Doug Added That was cool. I love history, and that was truly historic. Question is, can we imagine life without a t.v., computers, or a cell phone? The answer is no for the majority of us. Look how far we have come in electronic world.
  • Nance Added I do remember those days. I was born in 1935 so many memories.

  • Tom Linton Added WOW! Before my time
  • Randy Ferguson Added We didn't get a TV until I was in the 8th grade when I was 13. So, I missed out on a lot of these shows. Cousins and friends had them, so I got to watch theirs once in a while, but not very often.
