TV has changed more so over the years from when we were younger. Have you ever flipped through the channels and come across a show from when you were young & watch it. My kids ask me why the shows were so simple & plain back in my day. Ya know they're right.

OOOhhh....Mr. Ed, Little Rascals, I Dream of Jeannie, Perry Mason, Have Gun Will Travel, Gunsmoke, Alfred Hitchcock, Bonanza, Father Knows Best, LEAVE IT TO BEAVER! of course, Patty Duke, Twilight Zone, the one with Johnny Crawford (I think it was The Lawman) tons of them....
Yep, they were simple....and no sex or violence. Back in the day...Milton Beryl, Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, The Smothers Brothers....All In The Family, and as a kid we had to watch Lawrence Welk (ewww),Amateur Hour (I am asking my mom, too! mom says it was sort of like American Idol!!), The Lone Ranger (I had two brothers, I didn't have much say!) Batman, Happy Days, Family Ties.....oh you started something!
Beverly Hillbillies, The Jeffersons, Bewitched, Amos & Andy

When I was really little: Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street (there was no Barney!), Romper Room, the Electric Company, the Magic Garden (only aired in NY/NJ I believe). Then the Smurfs, Jetsons, Flinstones, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Punky Brewster, Facts of Life, Who's the Boss. Eight is Enough, Moonlighting, the A-Team, Wonder Woman, Brady Bunch, Cosby Show, and a lot more I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I'm waaaay over 30 and the shows were simpler. Greatest American Hero, Bossom Buddies, LaVerne & Shirley, Welcome Back Kotter. The Justice League, Pebbles & BamBam Show, Shazaam! Those are some shows I remember. I also remember that there weren't kid shows on 24/7 like now there's a whole network! When I was a kid, dude, you better be up early on Saturday to catch cartoons because by the afternoon, that was it! And Sunday, fuhgettaboutit!

Bugs Bunny Comedy Hour, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Sesame Street,
Romper Room, The friendly Giant, Captain Kangaroo,
Mr. Dressup, nice, simple, Lambchops. Real innocent and understandable cartoons, not the stuff they make today. Most of those strange cartoons come from Japan, looking at their electronic genius couldn't they make better stuff.
Well, maybe I am just old.
