Every healthy young boy was in love with Annette. She had
bumps! I liked watching her more than Spin and Marty and Captain Video combined!
Channel 13 was the only one that had cartoons (before the Mickey Mouse Club,) and only between 3pm and 7pm. Silent ones except for the music that was played behind them. We had to go to bed right after 'Sgt. Bilko.' It ended at 7:30.... 'You are there!' 'Mr.Wizard.' 'My Little Margie.' 'Topper.'
Just last month I downloaded an episode each of 'My Little Margie,' 'M-Squad,' 'The Adventures of Superman,' and 'Dragnet.' Ya know... I couldn't watch for more than a few minutes... None of them. I guess our tastes have evolved with the technology. I was really hoping for a shot of great nostalgia. I guess nostalgia is sort of like fantasy; best left to the imagination.
