13 TV Channels - What did you watch?

[teejaywhy]

Grew up in southwestern Ohio and we could pick up the network feeds from both Dayton and Cincinnati. Interesting back then were the locally produced programs. As kids, we would stay up late on Saturday night to watch Bob Shreve, who hosted the late night movie (typically some very schlocky sci-fi flick). Bob was sponsored by the local beer company, and although I don't have hard evidence to the fact, in my young mind, Bob may have been sampling the wares during the program because he seemed fairly trashed by the end of the show!

How many of you have been inspired by this thread to search for some of the old favorites to see if you can stream them now?

My wife has been watching Green Acres before she goes to bed. Says it's relaxing TV.

I remember having to sit through Davey and Goliath on the weekends before the good cartoons started.

Green Acres was hilairous. Petticoat Junction was a little deeper. IIRC, David and Goliath came on Sunday mornings.

6 (NBC), 8 (ABC) and 13 (CBS) until we could get 10 (PBS).

I remember watching the Apollo lunar landing, Star Trek, Andy Griffith, and The Monkees. Lots of other stuff like my parents let us hang out while they watched Laugh-In. A lot of those jokes were over my head at the time.

Saturday Morning Cartoons, young adult version..

LOL

For some reason my association with that is Land of the Lost. Maybe it came on after. Or maybe it's just because it was so cheesy.

Batman!

And Gilligan's Island, Captain Kangaroo, Get Smart. All in original release, of course. ;-)

Following my sucker tracks?

This was the test pattern on our black and white console TV had off air in Oklahoma around 1967. I have a vague memory of my older sister and me lying on the floor with our feet pressed up against the bottom speaker grill watching this waiting for the cartoons to start on Saturday mornings..

I like to watch old shows like that if I'm having trouble sleeping. It can help settle my mind if I have a lot rattling around in my head.

Wife grew up in a small north central Montana town about 2 barbed wire fences south of Canada (think one of those fences blew down). They occasionally got a station out of Great Falls, depending on the weather, and 2 out of Lethbridge Alberta. They saw a lot of hockey. Her kid show of memory "The Friendly Giant".
