Nostalgia trip - old TV programmes

[carolyorkie2010]

I just wondered which TV programmes you remember from your childhood? I remember Cheyenne Bodie (with Clint Walker), Gilligan's Island, Deputy Dawg, Andy Pandy, Woodentops Spotty Dog, Bill & Ben Skippy The Bush Kangaroo, My Friend Flicka (I think) and Mister Ed. I know there are loads more that I have forgot from the mid 50's to 60's, so maybe you have more suggestions that will remind me?:-)

My son got upset at Trumpton when the man had gone up a ladder onto the roof of the hat shop to clear a nest from the chimney.  Someone took the ladder away as it was dangerous to leave it there when it apparently didn't belong to anybody.  The man was stuck on the roof.

My son was beside himself!!! I had to calm him down and point out that Pugh,Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb were on their way in the fire engine!!

He's now in property development and thinks nothing of climbing on roofs!:^O

When you think of the stuff youngsters watch these days, and it doesn't seem to bother them!

The Ping Wings - wrong on so many levels?

Why so, Rose?

They are just 'of their time' 

Of MY time 😮

[wizilizi]

Oh, just looked back to check I wasn't talking to the 'wrong' FHGer, & see you said 'bizarre' rather than 'wrong'

To me, looking back, I can see that that story opened my mind up to multiple tiny imaginary worlds -not necessarily populated by knitted penguins though!! - that it STILL pleases me to daydream into now & then

Understanding my circumstances, from talking to relatives following the deaths of my parents, I see why retreating into these little 'other worlds', beyond the reality was so important for me for so long

The Pingwings was another Oliver Postgate creation along with the Clangers, Bagpuss, Noggin the Nog.Ivor the Engine & Pogles Wood. Some of these were quite surreal but wonderful.:-)

[carolyorkie2010]

Oh yes, Clarence the cross-eyed Lion, from "Daktari" and Lassie.

I seem to remember my parents watching a detective (I think) series called "Clough." Anyone remember it? Possibly set in the Dales? I think it was a man and his sheepdog.  And every week my Dad used to watch "All Our Yesterday's"

[captainbovine]

does anyone remember Mosschops? he was a real cutebaby dinosaur, oooh he was cute

I'm trying to think of another programme but my minds gone dead.......;\

[carolyorkie2010]

I've just done an online enquiry and there was a detective series in the 60's called "Cluff" starring Leslie Sands.

I'd forgotten that one, Carol! Used to watch it. When I was at school there was an American cop show that was very popular - 77 Sunset Strip.  We all liked the character "Kookie"! Much later there was CHIPS, which my son used to love - he had a CHIPS shirt, and wishes he still had it, but being 6'4" now, it wouldn't fit!

[rose2008-2008]

I thought of some others, Quincy?, Kojak?, Starsky and Hutch of course. Magnum? ( ice cream now lol). Champion The Wonderhorse. Belle and Sebastian i think had the lovely White Horses music? which i loved and used to sing everywhere. Im trying to think of the cowboy programme on Fridays or Saturdays i think was it The High Chapparal with Trampus?. OMG i could list loads of them. 🙂

[merc1_clocks]

Peyton Place.

Emergency Ward 10

Dr. Kildare...yummy Richard Chamberlain

I loved Cookie in 77 Sunset Strip

[vamo48]

Trampas was in The Virginian - great Western series!  Lee Majors was in it at one time too.

[chickengrandma-2008]

I remember Wagon Train and Z Cars.  The Beverley Hillbillies.  Take yoyr pick with Michael Miles and what did Hughie Green do?

[carolyorkie2010]

Did  Hughie Green do "Double Your Money?"

[chickengrandma-2008]

Yes, that's it.  Oooh, Sunday night at the London palladium!  Brucie!
