    >> "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie", from another show, I forget

    From the Smilin' Ed O'Donnells radio show for kids circa late 40's.  He
    had a "magic" frog that he could summon by using that "Plunking"
    phrase.  The frog, who was more of a nuisance, would then start
    completing Ed's half finished sentences and change the entire meaning
    of what Ed intended  to say.  Of course, this was hilarious schtick.
    
    Ed also had some sort of device where he could look into your living
    room and see what was going on.                                     
    
    -- Jim

    
    actually, i believe that was 'creature double feature'...channel 56 out
    here in the boston area...sundays starting at 12...

Same deal on the Andy Devine Show. Probably an instance of the Froggie
bit belonging to some comedian who migrated from Ed's radio show to
Andy's TV show. I have a book at home on 50's TV shows and may be able
to dig up something more on this.

	Momma's Family

I recall a local broadcast in Syracuse in the 50's - weekend afternoons
there were no sports programs in those days (I believe boxing and wrestling
were the only sports shown on TV back then and they were always on at night),
so the local station had a program called "Continuous Performance" which
functioned like the movie theaters of the day. They'd show a newsreel, a
cartoon, a short film or two, and then repeat the whole thing over again
a time or two.

    How`s about Mitch Miller and his Orchestra!!!

 you mean "Sing Along with Mitch"?

The show was called "Sing Along with Mitch."

Herewith a joke from the era:

Sting along with itch.

    Police Story

<------	that *was* a good show.  Do you remember the episode where David
	Cassidy played an undercover narc at a high school?

    Surfside Six
    Bourbon Street Beat
    Cisco Kid
    Gumby
    Fernwood Tonite
    All That Glitters
    Jabberwocky
    The Farmer's Daughter
    Name That Tune
    
    Than there are two shows, can't remember the title,
    one was on around noon-time -- I remember the guy's name was
    Big Brother Bob Emery (or something like that) 
    
    and the other, was a variety show hosted by Bobby Sherman, the
    name began with an S (I think, but for the life of me I can't remember)
    
    

    77 Sunset Strip

Wild Bill Hickock
Annie Oakley

>    Fernwood Tonite

Fernwood 2-Nite was the correct spelling I think.

    >> Than there are two shows, can't remember the title,
    >> one was on around noon-time -- I remember the guy's name was
    >> Big Brother Bob Emery (or something like that) 
    
    Big Brother's Clubhouse, or something similar I believe, locally
    on WBZ Channel 4.  Later renamed to Clubhouse 4, in the late
    afternoon.
    
    Bob Emery was an interesting character.  I always had this "kid's
    instinct" feeling as a kid, that he didn't really like kids.  I don't
    know why, but I just got bad vibes from the guy.  Was he the one
    who'd been nationally-prominent in radio days, but then came out
    with that post-show live-mike slip "There, that oughta hold the
    little b******s for another day!"?
    
    >> and the other, was a variety show hosted by Bobby Sherman, the
    >> name began with an S (I think, but for the life of me I can't remember)
    
    Do you mean Shindig?  Bobby Sherman hosted that sometimes, but then
    so did some guy named Jimmy O'Neill.  I think they started out with
    the regular host O'Neill, and then later switched to a different
    celebrity host weekly, or something like that.
    
    Chris

    Bob Emery was closing a TV show of his one day by advertising some
    cereal brand.  When he thought he was off the air, he stated...
    "I hope the little bastards choke on them!"  Bob Emery was never seen
    again!
    
    -Jack

    re: .167
    
    Bwahhhhh-hahh!!  I'm not surprised...  He used to push Bosco all
    the time, making the kids on his show drink Bosco and eat cookies,
    and us kids watching at home would look at each other and wonder
    what the hell a "milk amplifier" is.  "Isn't that something you
    use with guitars?"
    
    He stood in stark contrast to Bozo, Rex Trailer, and Major Mudd,
    all of whom were obviously having a grand time doing what they
    were doing (particularly Frank Avruch as Bozo, who treated it
    like a mini-Broadway show every day).  We used to joke about
    Emery amongst ourselves as kids... "Big Brother??  This guy's
    older than Grandpa!"

    re: Shindig, Hootenanny

    re: Fernwood 2-Night (later America 2-Night)
    
    Strange thing about this show (for me, anyway)... when it was
    first on in the late '70's, it would never fail to put me into
    near-hysterics.  When Nick ran it a couple of years ago, I was
    amazed to find that it didn't do that much for me anymore, especially
    after the first few.  But I did find myself appreciating the band a
    lot more; they were really excellent musicians, just pretending to
    be slackers and weirdos (one guy in particular was always mugging
    insanely for the camera when he was on).
    
    Quite an impressive list of production credits on that show, in
    any event (e.g., Harry Shearer); most went on to do good things
    later as well.
    
    Chris

    Whoops, I've gotta keep up faster...
    
    Bozo was aired live until the famous "squirrel" joke that Jack
    mentioned... they went to tape shortly after that (many of which
    survive, and were aired a few years ago on local UHF channels).
    
    The postscript to the squirrel joke that I'd heard was that after
    the punch line, there was a general commotion and the screen went
    black, but the audio remained on and you could hear all kinds of
    stuff going on.  When the video came back on, there was a big
    empty space in the bleachers where the kid had been sitting.
    
    I don't know if this is urban legend (I hope not, it's too good),
    but I heard it for the first time in the mid-60's, before the
    creation and spreading of urban legends became popular, so there
    may be hope!

    That is NOT how I caught Spike!

    .182
    
    speaking of spike...
    
    if he drew blood - even a pinprick - when he bit you, i do hope you
    have him under lock and key and will keep him there until you can
    determine whether he's rabid.  then, it may be a little late for you to
    start the pasteur series, but at least we'll know why you're acting so
    oddly.

    .183
    Spike is under "house arrest" (and has been) since the bite. The bite
    is pretty much healed and with no infection. I spoke with the vet when
    I took him and he said squirrels are fairly clean animals who generally
    do get rabies. 
    
    I think the reason I`m acting strange is because I`ve, 1) Met this very
    attractive young lady (just don`t tell my wife), 2) I might be back at
    Rivier College 3) I might start firefighting school next week 4) The Dr
    changed my medication :').
    
    Thanks for askin about Spike and the bite...

    That should have read squirrels are fairly clean animals who generl do
    NOT get rabies.

Mike had a cloyingissimo hit record called "The Men in My Little Girl's Life."

How old (young) are you people, anyway?

    Heh-heh... well, let's see, I think I was in high school when
    that show was on, and the general opinion amongst our age group
    was that it was a "lightweight" show with mostly bubble-gum acts,
    and not worth watching.  The few times I did watch it, though,
    the Raiders' keyboard player used to crack me up; he was pretty
    enthusiastic (and/or loony).

    Plus Wagon Train, Maverick and Gunsmoke. Can catch reruns of some of
    them on the Nostalgia channel on my cable network. 
    
    Still great to see the Rifleman mow em down with that rapid fire style.
    
    In most of the westerns mentioned here, I would guess the number one
    bad guy, Lee Van Cleef, must have bit the dust a few hundred times. Lee
    was also one of the welcoming committee for Gary Cooper in High Noon.
    Think his ultimate role was The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. What a
    great western.

    >> Wally Cox played Mr. Peepers in what old tv show?
    
    "Mr. Peepers" was the title of the show.

I was gonna say that, but I wasn't 100% sure (Mr Peepers)

 Yeah, I think Wally Cox was dead by the time Petticoat Junction came 
 out.

    
    Sorry, but I was only a little'un when `Petticoat Junction' was on, 
    and even then it was re-runs.  For some reason the name Wally Cox is
    associated in my mind with that show.  But he wasn't dead then, 'cause
    I saw him on `Hollywood Squares' later.
    

 I'm trying to remember the guy on Petticoat Junction..I think he was
 the uncle or something that hung around the hotel doing nothing..something
 Buchanon I think..

    	There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the Junction
    	(Petticoat Junction)
    	It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the Junction

Uncle Joe was Edgar Buchanon.

BTW, Garry H. Grossman's "Saturday Morning TV: Thirty
Years of the Shows you waited all week to watch",
(ISBN 0-517-64114-3, Arlington House/Crown) speaks at
some length as to how Andy Devine took over from
Smilin' Ed McConnell after he croaked in '54, inheriting
Froggy the Gremlin in the process.

This book is a veritable storehouse of useless information.
If anyone has any research they'd like me to do, just ask.

    There is a station we can pick up that runs at least one old show 
    in prime time, Tuesday,  Magnum PI, Wednesday, Remington Steel,
    Thursday, Hawaii Five-O and every evening between seven and eight they
    show All in the Family and M*A*S*H. Although I only see day_time TV
    when I am on vacation, they also show Bionic man, Bionic woman and the 
    Beverly Hillbillies, the only thing I find wrong with this is that I
    don't think they bought every episode of each show as when I see then
    they are the same one I saw last time. It was the same when they ran
    the old Star Trek series, the episodes I was hoping to see again where
    never show.
    
    Joan 

    	Was Petticoat Junction really set in NJ?

    Chuck Connors played for the Chicago Cubs, and maybe some other clubs
    in his baseball career.

    -1 i believe he was one of the original Boston Celtics as well.
       i know he was on the team.
    
       Chip 

    .244 i think his first name was Edgar...

    I do beleive that Chuck Conner`s played for the Celtics back in the
    40`s or 50`s.
    
    James Arness started out as the monster in the original "THE Thing" in
    (I think 1951-52) and did at least one spot on the Lone Ranger.

    
    
    yes, conner's played for the celtics, tho i don't know when...
    

    .256
    You mean there is something that we MIGHT agree on:').

>    I believe Green Acres was an off shoot of Petticoat Junction.

And Petticoat Junction  was a spin-off of The Beverly Hillbillies.    

 Chuck Conners also played for the Dodgers..





Jim

Tony Randall (TV's Odd Couple?) was also on Mr. Peepers. Science teacher,
I think.

Chuck Connors can also be seen in some XXX-rated flicks. But then, so can
Tony Danza. The difference is, Tony Danza's co-stars were female.

How about Mr. Wizard? "Now we'll pour the acid into the sugar, and what
do you think will happen?" "Golly gee, Mr. Wizard! It's growing!"

    
    
    so this chuck connors person, he played ball????
    
    

    Connors played for both the Celtics and the *Brooklyn* Dodgers.
    
    Mark.

    
    Connors also played first base for the **Chicago** Cubs.
    
    Mark

 Mike Connors played in Tightrope ;-)

    I know Fred Dryer of Hunter was an ex football player and there was
    another well known player in a regular series at one time, I think it
    was Dick Butkus and he drove a truck but I can't remember what it was
    called.

  The Aquanauts..you bet.  With Ron Ely and Jeremy Slate..




 I remember the Whirleybirds, barely.  The only episode that sticks in my mind
 is one where they were tracking down an escaped ape.

    Ron Ely.  Wasn't he Tarzan also?

    
>    Ron Ely.  Wasn't he Tarzan also?


   Yep. (well, he played Tarzan) ;-)

    
    
    ...and he was the host of a game show very similar to 'name that tune'...
    
    
    

What was the one that had a theme song that went something like:
"it's about time, it's about space..."   ?

Don't remember much about it, other than it was something to do with
astronauts and cave dwellers, popular when I was in 5th or 6th grade...

No, I think that was called "It's About Time."

    Right, "It's About Time", around 1966.  Starred Joe E. Ross (the
    "Ooo! Ooo!" guy from "Car 54 Where Are You?") and Imogene Coca
    ("Your Show of Shows", "Grindl") as the primary cave persons, and
    Frank Aletter and some other guy that I can't remember as the
    astronauts.
    
    The astronauts got caught in a time warp and landed in Earth's
    prehistoric days, where their encounters with the cave creatures
    were the primary source for yuks.  When that didn't work out too
    well, for the second half of the season the astronauts fixed their
    space "capsule" (quaint 60's terminology for a small, cone-shaped
    spacecraft, fer you young'uns), and blasted off for, er, Earth.
    Well, modern-day Earth.
    
    But ha-ha, because Joe E. Ross and Imogene Coca were stowaways
    on the capsule (no mean feat in a roughly-Apollo-sized craft),
    or maybe they were brought along intentionally, or whatever.
    The second half of the season thus consisted of the cave folks
    reacting to, and coping with, 1960's Earth (something which most
    of us who were there never quite managed to do, come to think of it).
    
    Although it was somewhat popular among the younger set, the series
    didn't catch on and was cancelled after (I believe) one season.  It
    may have come from our old Gilligan pal Sherwood Schwartz, but I'm
    really stretching the memory here.

    None of these shows will ever be as good as "My Mother the Car",
    starring Jerry VanDyke. :-)
    
    ...Tom

 I think James Darren was also on "Its About Time".





Jim

    re: James Darren
    
    You're probably thinking about "Time Tunnel", an Irwin Allen sci-fi
    series from the same year... time travel was a popular topic back
    then.  James Darren and Robert Colbert were the stars of "Time
    Tunnel", which arguably had the best set of any science fiction
    series ever.
    
    Chris

>   time travel was a popular topic back then.

It's a timeless topic.

 re .285




 You're right...thanks




 Jim

    This sounds like the perfect place to ask this question...
    
    Back in the late 60's/maybe early 70's there was a TV show that began
    with a park ranger riding around on an air boat. Friends insist the
    show was called "Gentle Ben" but we can't make the connection between
    the ranger on the air boat to a bear?   Anyone remember this? Where was
    the show's geographic location? I think of the everglades when I think of
    air boats, but still cannot make the bear connection.
    
    Thanks for your assistance.
    Susan
    
    

    
    It wasn't Gentle Ben. That show was about a bear. HTH.

    I thought that was Flipper...the air boat/ranger opening.

       The show was called "The Everglades," or at least I vaguely think
       that it was, and the theme song included stuff like "Lincoln Vale
       of the Everglades, The man who lived in the Everglades..."
       
       Lots of noise from airboats and other destructive crap.
       
       

    
    I seem to remember a hydrofoil in the opening of the Gentle Ben show
    which was the show about the bear.
    
    

    I think it _was_ Gentle Ben too.

    
    I'm pretty sure we can rule out Hovercraft from the opening
    of Grizzly Adams though...
    
    -b

    
    I remember a pool that turned into a rocket launch pad in the
    opening of `Thunderbirds'.
    

    >> I seem to remember a hydrofoil in the opening of the Gentle Ben show
    >> which was the show about the bear.
    
    I remember that, too, and I think that's how Dennis Weaver got
    around on that show (though I didn't watch it).  But I also recall
    a series about the Everglades.  Hmmm, I'll have to check the old
    TV books tonight...
    
    Chris

       Who am I, Cassandra?  There was a show called The Everglades, it
       was about some guy who was a ranger and went around catching bad
       people doing terrible things, and he buzzed around in an airboat. 
       The show was probably early-mid 60s vintage, and the lead
       character's name was Lincoln <something>.
       
       I don't make this crap up, you know, well at least not all that
       much of it.

 
 I think The Everglades is correct.

Well I think "Gentle Ben" was the correct answer.  Dennis Weaver 
played the father, he had a son (maybe 8 or 9 years old) and the
beginning of the show showed the father, the son and the bear
zooming around through the reeds in the everglades.  I always
thought that looked *so* cool

 Gentle snarf!

    To think they had thousands of dollars worth of bear bile right under
    their noses.

    <-- he hadta say that ! :*)

    The "Everglades" show that Mr. Topaz referred to ran from 1961-1962,
    according to an old-TV-show book I have here.  It was syndicated and
    consisted of 38 episodes, in color yet (unusual in those days, must've
    been foresight on the part of the producers looking towards future
    syndicated distribution, like "Adventures of Superman" did).
    
    It starred Ron Hayes as Lincoln Vail, and Gordon Cosell as Chief
    Anderson.  The description of the show states "Lincoln Vail is a
    policeman for the Everglades County police in Florida, battling
    lawbreaking gators and other swamp creatures."
    
    I'd imagine that both this show and "Gentle Ben" (which was also set
    in the Everglades) made extensive use of those skimmer vehicles or
    whatever they're called, especially since they couldn't ride around
    on horses.
    
    Chris

    
    Lawbreaking gators?!
    
    Now THAT is one tough beat for a cop to walk.

    They must be thinking of that gator that bit off the wrestlers arm the
    other day. Seen that on to news (last night I think). They were not
    sure if they could reattach it.

| Lawbreaking gators?!

	Rob, I think that might be Lawbreaking Gladiators!

    Thanks for all the replies. I guess "Gentle Ben" wins, as I would have
    been too young to remember the "Everglades "show if it was on during
    1960-61. I'm still having a hard time understanding why Gentle Ben was
    set in the Everglades, (don't usually equate Bears with Everglades) but
    I guess that's the magic of TV! I guess I'll just have to wait for "Nick
    at Nite" to show "Gentle Ben" to figure it out.
    
    Thanks and regards,
    Susan
    
    

    I think "Gentle Ben" was actually based on a kids' book set in Alaska. 
    They must have figured the Everglades were more telegenic, or easier to
    film, or something.
    
    -Stephen

    Or maybe Ivan Tors produced both series, and had enough leftover
    stock color footage from "The Everglades" to make "Gentle Ben"
    more profitable.  :-)
    
    Sort of like what Irwin Allen did to make "Time Tunnel", using
    clips from all those old 20th Century Fox historical movies to
    fill time between the fistfights amongst the main characters
    and this week's historical guest star.
    
    Chris

       
       
                   If it was a Quinn Martin production,
       
                   It was worth watching.

 And it was in color
