Wow ! I downright forgot about that one .
I remember watching a television series called BAA BAA Black Sheep.

 

I'm waiting for one of the "youngins" to point out the unintentional irony in a thread that celebrates watching old TV shows while simultaneously criticizing others for spending too much time inside.

Watching a series of incredibly interesting cartoons for a 3 hour period on Saturday morning and then spending the entire rest of the weekend outside doesn't rate the critizism. Plus - Saturday was the ONLY day that my single mother got to sleep in and I was not allowed to go outside and disappear for hours on end with my axe and BB gun until she got up, so I was **forced** to remain inside

In the 70's you either watched tv, went outside, or read a book. Books were for nerds especially in the middle of the day on a weekend. Tv shows for kids all ended at about noon on Saturday, and there were only about 4 channels- NBC, CBS, maybe PBS, and ABC. You went outside at noon and got creative out there. My family lived in the North Georgia countryside and there was a lot do outside. I had a dirt bike and it was not uncommon for me and my little buddies to ride 20 miles from home on dirt bikes without crossing a paved road. It was a rockin' adventure every weekend. Our parents had no idea how far we went. I remember literally crossing mountains on Saturday afternoons. Creeks, mountains, dirt bogs (unpaved roads), you name it we rode. Of course you had to be home in time for dinner but the bikes came back covered in mud.

 

Born January 1966 on an Air Force Base. Twice had stitches in my head and had half my big toe cut off-all before I was 3 years old. My parents still didn't make me where a helmet. By the age of 8 I had almost blown my finger off (twice) with a cherry bomb, and my friend did blow his finger off, but his dad was a doctor so I guess it was ok. My favorite shows were Giligan's Island (Marry Ann was hotter) and I Dream of Jeanie (She is still the hottest of all times). I fished and hunted with my friends from the age of 8 on, and we all survived. Unbelievable. I miss those days.

 

Cubdriver you lucky dog,
I always wanted a dirt bike! That would have been awesome. I'd probably not be alive to be typing this though as I was relatively uncoordinated. The first time I rode a friend's dirtbike I rode it directly into a tree. After that he told me the rule about looking where you want the bike to go, and not looking at where you don't want the bike to go. Anyway remedied the situation in young adulthood with a Suzuki SP-125 and a Kawasaki KLR-650.

 

You know DH I could go on forever about the programs we watched as kids....but, I will list these last three and I know you'll chuckle because I'm sure alot of us watched these three shows on Saturday afternoons.


Highlights of the NFL
Sons of Hercules
American Bandstand

Hell, I even chuckled myself at this.

P.S. - Witchypoo & Dr. Blinky use to bug me out on HR Puffenstuff.

 

Some places are in a time warp; Moving here to the Smoky Mtns. I ran across a half dozen young'uns camping,10 to 12 years old, with no adults in sight. They had a fire going to cook the trout they had caught. This was a little after 6 AM... This is a good place to be, I said to myself.

This may help to explain how we survived...

Kinda sounds like a quote from the book "The Shack".
