Location: Tennessee | They used to film Sea Hunt about two miles from where I grew up ... my dad used to take me down to the cove when they were filming and we'd just watch the whole production. I remember Lloyd Bridges would come over and ruffle my hair. Super nice man. Something must've stuck, because during my college years we'd go hang out at the Sandcastle restaurant in Malibu where they'd be filming Rockford Files. What a crazy bunch of characters they all were! |

My fondest memory of shows was every Saturday my dad would bring home blueprints that needed to be checked. He'd spread them out on the living room table and we'd watch 'Creature Features' (on WKBD, man the name of that is escaping me right now..Brad? Roger?) all day.
Then again, there was H. R. Puffenstuff, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Quality programming from the (drug addled) minds of Sid and Marty Kroft. ;)
I third the Rockford Files, although I only got to watch it if I snuck out of bed. :) |

In this first one there's video of the opening of the show that I haven't seen in maybe 45 years, and a sound clip of that opening.
http://skyking.com/ -- haven't had a chance to look thru this one yet. |

Oh Lord, I just remembered where I put my childhood...
What really hurts is watching these on TVLand or Nick and trying to explain to children and grandchildren that you saw them when they were "new". Kinda like going into a coffee shop and "Please Please Me" is playing, and you hear people saying, "I just love these really old songs."
And you think to yourself that you remember hearing it when it was first released.
'scuse me, I gotta go take my Geritol now... |
