30. My dad was born on an extremely large ranch in Wyoming |
|
and his grampa and dad had been cowboys. My great grandpa had been quite successful (hence the monster ranch) as a drover, spent years driving dogies between Wyoming and Texas; took his pay in stock. My grampa died when my dad was 12, and he and his mom had to leave the ranch.
We all sat a horse real good, and grew up doing it. I think dad lived vicariously through all those westerns. I remember him really liking Matt Dillon's buckskin, because it reminded him of the horse his dad gave him when he was 6 or 7.

20. I try not to watch religious shows. |
|
Televangelists need to be given their own channel, 24/7 so that I can block it on all my TVs. It's not fair sneaking that garbage in amongst all the infomercials - it's too easy to forget what crap they are trying to get you to buy.

Fraggles, for as long as they were on. Star Trek the Next Generation (my dad has them all on tape...). Jeopardy, pretty often. Dr. Who. Other than that, nothing that I remember... We didn't watch too much TV as kids, which I think was a good thing!

Earlier in the 1950s, I recall my parents faithfully watching I Love Lucy, December Bride, and Crossroads.
Oh, and my grandparents never missed Lawrence Welk, while my grandfather never missed an episode of the soap opera Love of Life.
Later on, in the 1980s, my father, by then a retired Lutheran pastor, became hooked on Dallas and Hart to Hart, while my mother and grandmother oohed and ahed over how "cute" Little House on the Prairie was. ("Cute" was their highest word of praise. To this day, I cannot stand self-consciously cute entertainment.)

We'd go over to my grandmother's house every Sunday night. The extended family would all be parked in the living room. Floors and furniture, you couldn't move.

My father was an Army medic in WWII, and he said the show pretty much captured the tension and insanity of it all. Granted, the show itself was influenced a lot by the Vietnam War, but it still struck a chord with my father.
