"Pinky Lee Howdy Doody Kate Smith Milton Berle Ed Sullivan's "Show of Shows" What's my Line? Science Fiction Theater Winky Dink Watch Mr. Wizard Flash Gordon Gillete Cavalcade of Sports Sky King Roy Rogers & Dale Evans I love Lucy The People's Choice Mickey Mouse Club Queen for a Day Ding Dong School Dragnet Wrestling from Marigold (when wrestling WAS wrestling) & a bunch of others, too numerous to mention. I wish to share a few of these memories with you & I hope you will share your's with me!"

I watched them all. This is gonna date me, but I was watching the day Pinky Lee had his heart attack. The camera followed him around as he staggered and fell down. The camera zoomed in and then the screen went blank. It came back on a few minutes later with a cartoon. Live TV was really something.

Don't think I ever got fixed on the test pattern for too long though. LOL!!!

Morning, SC! Welcome to the Canteen!

Wow, I didn't see that program, when he had his heart attack, but, remembering how he used to jump & run around, I can see why the camera man probably thought that Pinky was just being Pinky!

I guess I'm not the ONLY old fart here! LOL!
