Honour our Fallen
In montreal we had two local guys...One Magic Tom and the other Johnny Jellybean...Johhnny Jellybean Ted Ziggler went on to the Carol Burnet show....

At lunch time when i came home from schooll johhny jellybean would shut down the Jelly bean factory for all us Jellybeaners and have lunch with us....same old gags every week....if he had tapioca you would here tap shoes....jello this real weird thing.....

he had this thing called the squak box hanging from the ceiling and when it would go off...Real bad music...he would bash it to death....everyday....

we sent away for a string to tape to tv and then sit as far it would go for safe tv viewing...and ya got a jelly bean hat...basically a beannie with what looked like a silly putty egg ...on top of the hat....

My first memory of television was about three days of my sisters screaming about The Beatles were coming and going to be on television

Woo hoo.... I sat there entranced while that sad man Sullivan announced their arrival....

It was a buncha guy with weird hair.... so much for sisters knowing everything!!! They weren't even dressed in costumes...

Johnny Quest and Space Ghost. No kidding Space Ghost is back with a talk show. I got the same Sunday night programming that most have mentioned. Sullivan when I was young, and Rat Patrol. Then as I grew older and we got another tv, Captain Kangaroo before school. I remember Sesame Street when they were just starting out. I was a little old for that and the novelty wore off pretty quick. Mostly there wasn't much time for tv though. Back when kids could play outside without armed escort.
