My two cents worth..... Tarzan, Sgt Preston, Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto, Boston Blackie, and Dragnet (Sgt. Joe Friday... talk about scared straight). The Untouchables, Andy Devine, Swamp Fox, Daniel Boone, Zorro, and Superman with Steve Reeves. Gangbusters and The Shadow on radio. Color tv was a tri-colored piece of cellophane put over the front of the screen.... strange how the sky was always blue even in a thunderstorm or if the camera angle was other straight on, the sky was green, or the grass was blue. Sitting on the porch swing watching the summer rain, ollie oxen free, and red light, green light, dynamite boom! Ahhh the good old days!!
For most, your senior trip was to SE Asia not Cancun or Rio or Canada. You took a loan out for a car or a house. Credit and credit cards were for emergencies.... a double latte was not an emergency.
When my niece was little, she told me our TV set was broke. I asked why and she politely told me the color was gone.... an 8 year old 19 inch B&W RCA. Now my computer monitor is bigger than that. Now I watch HD and back a show up if I miss a play or line.
Retired, living a good life, but still miss parts of the days when.....
