I wish I could go back in time. I was 7 in 1950, and 17 in 1960.
We were happy then.
I don’t remember tv remotes ever being called “Flashmatic Tuning” but there it is, in living black and white!
ooooh, Dick Clark on American Bandstand and being glued to the transistor radio.
it went by so fast......
That was excellent- gas 31 cents!
Yes, I’m really that old.
Enjoy!
; ) P.S. I owe you a response on inflation but not now having too much fun.
Drive in movies. I will hold those memories dear for the rest of my life. Something todays youth truly have missed out on.
Back in the fifties, we had conservative Democrats like Sens. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) and Frank Lausche (D-Ohio)—a species now as extinct as the brontosaurus.
Some of the nest hot dogs (wink, wink) I’ve ever had....
The Mouseketeers! Who could forget Annette and Darlene? Yeah, I’m old. (Most of these kids who were Mouseketeers are still with us..for instance, Darlene is 73 years old now, Cubby is 70 years old! sigh..)
Golden Age of youth and optimism.
It was a different world, now gone forever.
*******I miss the days I never knew.****
Even I know some of those pix are not original/contemporary to the period in question! LOL
I’m so old, that this is all new-dangled stuff to me!!
A couple of technicalities...
The Flip Wilson show was not from the ‘50s.
That Pan Am image is not from the 50s; it’s from a recently cancelled TV show.
Other than that...
Oh, the memories!
That was nice.
Al Stewart - (A Child's View Of) The Eisenhower Years
It's by Al Stewart, who sang Year of the Cat and Time Passages back in the seventies.
In 1959, we went to a theater to see a movie. It was 25 cents for kids, 50 cents per adult. My dad almost had apoplexy over that price!
We were never allowed to go again.
I recognize more people and know their names in that video than people I watch in current TV series.
