The Theater of the Mind. And it was in black and white! The amazing stuff a young mind can supply...<br /><br />I still listen to radio at night when I can't sleep. Amazing what an OLD mind can come up with. It's not pleasant fiction...<br /><br />I sometimes say that I don't want to reincarnate here again but SOME of it was nice! 1950's Radio was ok.BELOWZEROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832727019753672923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151242590468890082006-06-25T08:36:00.000-05:002006-06-25T08:36:00.000-05:00Green Hornet & side kick KatoGreen Hornet & side kick KatoNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865599049525786684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151103529674196762006-06-23T17:58:00.000-05:002006-06-23T17:58:00.000-05:00I always wore Buster Brown shoes.

Every Saturday morning I would jump out of bed, eat my cereal and then run into the living room and sit by the big radio. My sister would turn the show on and sit down and listen to it with me. I loved that show.<BR/><BR/>Sky King, The Shadow, Intersanctum, The Lone Ranger were all favorites. I loved Roy Rogers and Trigger. I used to make my little cousin think Roy and Trigger lived in my basement and only I could talk to them through the registers. No kidding. She believed me. She still talks about that to this day. <BR/><BR/>Yes, there were pre TV days. Lots of imagination and interaction with the neighborhood kids. I loved to rollar skate all around the neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great post.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363332231784280338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151090948387217202006-06-23T14:29:00.000-05:002006-06-23T14:29:00.000-05:00I remember all those radio shows and I read all th...I remember all those radio shows and I read all the tarzan books and all the Wizard of Oz books.

There used to be a radio station somewhere near DC that played all kinds of old radio shows. I used to listin to the mystery and scary shows.<BR/>It was about 198 before I ever saw the Lone Ranger and Sky king without snow.<BR/>Tarzan was great too. I spent a lot of time learning from the Three Stooges. Shemp was king!<BR/>Let the quicksand have him, it will just spit him out. :)Nit Withttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238973729232533340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151033905510684902006-06-22T22:38:00.000-05:002006-06-22T22:38:00.000-05:00Please let me help you save Antonio...he's a keepe...Please let me help you save Antonio...he's a keeper.Cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770041132796530904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151033191120853372006-06-22T22:26:00.000-05:002006-06-22T22:26:00.000-05:00Ahhh...I remember the Lone Ranger...the TV show, a...Ahhh...I remember the Lone Ranger...the TV show, anyway. Other than that, I'm with Teddy Pig, I grew up on Gilligans Island and Dark Shadows.<BR/><BR/>*laughs* We lived in base housing in row houses where the bathrooms backed to each other and only a thin sheet of tin in the medicine cabinet seperated you from your neighbor's bathroom. The kids next door were playing in the tub, and my mom tapped opened the medicine cabinet and tapped on the tin and said "Ohhhhh...this is Baaarnaaabaaas". *laughs* Tanya and Tony went screaming naked for their mother. Man...that was a long time ago...Tanya and I were both 6. And now Tanya has one kid in his 3rd year of college and another one about to start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151030648878614652006-06-22T21:44:00.000-05:002006-06-22T21:44:00.000-05:00okay I really want no demand to have what you're o...okay I really want no demand to have what you're on.<BR/><BR/>the Lone Ranger and Gunsmoke [besides Tarzan] were the only two I know of that lot.apositivepessimisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734568753024328248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-1151030421422995712006-06-22T21:40:00.000-05:002006-06-22T21:40:00.000-05:00I only go as far back as Gilligan and the other ca...I only go as far back as Gilligan and the other castaways.

That whole bit was later used in the early 70 by "The Ghoul" a late night movie host (worst sci-fi movies of all time) out of Cleveland (Mr. B.Y. Gun will back me up on that fact). Ron Swede played The Ghoul. . . He used to put Froggie through the worst abuse. We were all high and thought it was great fun. I always figured that's where SNL got the idea for "Mr. Bill."<BR/><BR/>I also remember the TV series "Sky King" in the early 60s. I didn't realize it was originally a radio show. "Penny" was always getting into some mess or the plane was konking out at the worst moment. . . Great stuff!!<BR/><BR/>No computers, no video games. . . It was TV or use your own imagination. . .<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the flash-back. . . .
