It's a shame you didn't know about putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears. All the good and secret stuff came in.

Did that really work? I heard about it but never tried it. We weren't allowed to touch the buttons anyway.

I have it on good authority DB does not purchase a federal radio licence.

I'll destroy my radio before I buy a licencse .

All the above plus Soldiers of Fortune. Used to boogie home from school to watch that. Couple of guys looking for treasure and whatnot in jungles and wherenot.

Ah yes, the goodldaze.

I missed the kids shows as well. Thank Christ I never had to watch Howdy Doody
