Sometimes when I watch DVD's of old television programs, I imagine |
|
that I'm actually watching the program on TV for the first time. The TV I watch has vacuum tubes, I have an outdoor antenna, Eisenhower is in the White House...Anyone else ever do this?
I know that time period had its down side. It wasn't so great if you were member of a minority or a woman. There was the fear of atomic war. And McCarthism.

1. A cable channel has old tv shows and they show old |
|
commercials. I am surprised at how many commercials I remember from when I was 8 or 9. It definitely does take you back. It was a time of both innocence and huge fears.

When I see a movie or show set in a different time period, I think about what it would be like to live in that setting, how I would feel, what I would wear, etc.

4. But teh olde peoples need a quite place. |

Your not the only one who noticed that.
All I can think was that it was at the OP's request.
I thought it was an interesting op.
Better than the usual 'cat lol!'

6. Unless it was requested by the OP, I find it odd too. |
|
What? The Lounge is only for subjects the young'uns can relate to?
Better watch out, flvegan, or your SNL threads will get moved to "Seniors" too.

10. I love some of the old radio shows! I don't remember them, but have heard some on cassette. |
|
Especially I like JACK BENNY and SUSPENSE.
