2022-02-11T11:39:00.000-08:00

For those of us not old enough to remember, "Date With The Angels" was on the ABC from May 10, 1957 to January 29, 1958. A total of 33 half hour episodes were produced in that time period.

Now she is a real "Angel" in Heaven.... as she has passed away just 18 days from her 100th birthday.

Now, she is with the love of her life, Allen Ludden.

They were married in 1962 , he died in 1981.

Betty Quote “I had no idea that I would still be around at this point for one thing, but that I’d still be privileged enough to still be in this business.”

The Roy Rogers Show

Starring Dale Evans, Roy Rogers, Trigger & Pat Brady. From 1951 - 1957 the Double R Ranch featured, "The King of the Cowboys" Roy, his "Smartest Horse in the Movies" Trigger, "Queen of the West" Dale, her horse Buttermilk, their dog Bullet, and even Pat's 1946 Willy's CJ-2A Jeep named Nellybelle.

I remember! I watched it as millions of us boomer boys and girls did, growing up in an age when cowboy shows were to cool for words alone.

This post will start with Season One, Episode One entitled, "Jailbreak."

If you keep watching you can binge over 40 episodes in a row!

I will post more episodes in the near future, and update on a regular basis if possible. Enjoy the Shows! "Happy Trails To You, Until We Meet Again!"

In early 1973 my father Roy took me and my little brother Darl out west on a motorhome vacation. While out there we went to the, "The Roy Rogers Museum"

We saw both "Trigger' and "Bullet" as Roy had them both preserved forever.

"Gone With The West " Has Fallen Into The Public Domain

Hope you enjoy todays, "Million Dollar Movie." I come across it while searching the,....

"Internet Archive."

IMDb said: After being framed, a cowboy is sent to jail. After his time is served, he leaves with vengeance in his heart.

Soon he meets a young Native American woman and together they go to settle their score with a small town and its corrupt leader.

According to Wikipedia: "Gone with the West" is a 1975 American Western film starring James Caan and Stefanie Powers, and was directed by Bernard Girard.

The film is also known as "Little Moon and Jud McGraw" in Australia. It was filmed in 1969 under the title "Man Without Mercy" but did not find a cinema release.

I didn't know that Snap, Crackle and Pop had adversaries named Soggy, Mushy and Toughy!

Did You?

Wow!

To be a child sitting in a theater in 1939 and watching a commercial sponsored by the Kellogg Company.

It probably ran back to back with a Popeye cartoon, before the news reel, previews, and the main attraction. This is a piece of history from the golden age of advertising via the big screen.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Hogans Heros was an American Television sitcom set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II.

It ran for six seasons with 168 episodes produced from September 17, 1965 until April 4, 1971.

It aired on the CBS network and was the longest broadcast run for an American television series about WWll.

According to Jonathon Berr Senior Contributer of Forbes on September 18, 2019......

"To say that Hogan's Heroes was politically incorrect would be an understatement. The sitcom was based on the absurd notion that Col. Robert Hogan and his band of saboteurs could operate out of a prisoner of war camp in Germany called Stalag 13. The Nazis in the show such as Commandant Wilhelm Klink and Sergeant Hans Schultz were dimwitted and not evil. Every episode featured at least one threat to send a Nazi to the "Russian Front" or a prisoner to "the cooler." There were plenty of Adolf Hitler jokes."

He goes on to explain quoting from Brenda Scott Royce, author of Hogan's Heroes: Behind the Scenes at Stalag 13,

that the wounds of World War II were still fresh for many people at the time the show aired.

My own father "Roy Martin Badgerow" was himself a POW.

He would bust a gut when he watched. He loved the show as did so many other of his age group. I also think it has a place here in Yesterday Television.

It is also on MeTV Or The Internet Archive

If you would like to binge watch a few episodes......

Do you remember....

Leave It to Beaver?

If not...... it was American television situation comedy about an inquisitive and often naive boy named Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver who was portrayed by Jerry Mathers. It followed his adventures at home, in school, and around his suburban neighborhood.

The show also starred Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont as Beaver's parents,

June and Ward Cleaver, and Tony Dow as Beaver's brother Wally.

The show has attained an iconic status in the United States, with the Cleavers exemplifying the idealized suburban family of the mid-20th century.

The show aired from 1957 -1963 and I was right around the Beaver Clever age. I still have to laugh at the miss adventures he would get himself into.

In a typical episode Beaver got into some sort of trouble, then faced his parents for reprimand and correction.

However, neither parent was omniscient......... indeed, the series often showed the parents debating their approach to child rearing, and some episodes were built around parental gaffes.

The show was created by writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher.

Veterans of radio and early television.... they often found inspiration for the shows characters,

plots and dialogue in the lives, experiences and conversations of their.... very own children.

"Leave It to Beaver" is one of the first prime time sitcom series written from a child's point of view.

The complete....." Leave It To Beaver Series "is embedded just below.
Just keep watching.. one after the other.... and you could binge watch all the episodes!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Will Rogers

2019-11-04T04:30:00.001-08:00

Today is...............

William Penn Adair Rogers Birthday. He is 140 years old November 4, 2019
(4 November 1879 – 15 August 1935)

Will Rogers was beloved by all. If you Google his name be prepared to sift through
over about 395,000,000 or so hits.
A bit before my time I still knew of him as a child.
The reruns of him on early television still resonates within me as I remember the cowboy, the lariat, and his home spun humor.

While researching I found that he was a Cherokee citizen..... born in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory
Oklahoma
.
He was a radio personality, the nations most sought after public speaker,top box office draw,he wrote books, was a well read news paper columnist and much-much more!

To learn more about Will....... check out the Will Rogers Memorial Museum site.
