I'm so old.

Thats it. So so old.

I watched the Flintstones and Three Stooges on Saturday mornings as a kid. Draw your own stupid conclusions and get off my lawn, I don’t care.

Paid $4.60 for 91 octane Tuesday but that was high. I’d say $3.50 to $4.00 here in SoCal. What’s it there, $2.25?

I'm in MI and paid $2.59 for regular last week but that was on the cheap side up here

You're a young'un. I used to watch the Flintstones when it was on in Prime Time as a kid.

Don’t recall that one

There was Slam Bang Theater in the mornings in Fort Worth when I was a kid. They showed Three Stooges.

The Flintstones were my neighbors!

When I was a kid, that wasn’t invented yet.

Gilligan's Island

Remember that episode when the Professor figured out a way to escape the island using bamboo and coconuts and Gilligan screwed it up?

Even as a little kid, I could sense there was something twisted and demented about H.R. Pufnstuff...

The Professor held degrees from USC, UCLA, TCU, and SMU. I remember Gilligan made an 'alphabet soup' crack about that.

The Stooges were the best!

Laverne & Shirley = an innocent feminist type show, where the females were the heroes and the males were mostly idiots (Lenny and Squiggy...)

 

[Dionysus]

Serious question: Mary Ann or Ginger?

Mary Ann by a long shot. Because of her coconut cream pie, I mean.

Add to those, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Mighty Mouse, the Bugs Bunny Show, and Popeye the Sailor.

Yeah, I’m old too.

remember that episode where Skipper got frustrated with Gilligan, but didn't totally understand Gilligan, and in Gilligan's hurt feelings, he goes off and solves the great problem, before accidentally screwing it up.

 

[Dionysus]

Oh man I forgot about Popeye, Jetsons, Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, Captain Kangaroo... good times!

But also dance like a Carmine

 

[BevoJoe]

Serious question: Mary Ann or Ginger?

Depends on your perspective. In the wilderness Mary Ann would be an asset, while Ginger would slow you down to a snails pace or worse. But, if you’re strolling down 5th Avenue, you’d definitely want Ginger on your arm, hub-bah hub-bah!

There was Slam Bang Theater in the mornings in Fort Worth when I was a kid. They showed Three Stooges.

Caught that show every afternoon. When I was in college, one of the guys had a pre-OU party the night before game at his house. A couple of folks mentioned there famous relatives. The dude’s mother came by at the same time with a tray of snacks and joined in saying our buddy hosting the party had a famous relative too! I remember his eyes were wide as he said, “Mom! NO!” But she continued and told us his famous Uncle was none other than Icky Twerp the host of Slam Bang Theater. We died laughing, and the dude’s face was bright red. He hid in a bedroom in the back of his house the rest of the night.

This is the show as I remember it, as I was watching Channel 11 in 1974 and on.

That’s the music. The opening was a little different when the show first aired in the late 1950’s. Besides the Stooges, they would show Our Gang and the Little Rascals, IIRC.

Icky Twerp also hosted NIGHTMARE on channel 11 Saturday nights iirc. Icky might have gone by a diff name for Nightmare, but was the same dude nonetheless. Must watch tv for a kid in DFW in the 60s. Can still remember watching slam bang theater during the week, then Nightmare Saturday evenings.
