There also were the mysteries, comedies and westerns; Boston Blackie, Dragnet, The Lone Ranger, The Great Gildersleeve, Henry Aldrich, and so many more.
I remember Bobby Benson and the B bar B ranch!

I am here enjoying my Oreos and milk
I'm focused on Oreos and milk. Just enjoyed two evenings of 'desert' (an extra one!) of Oreos and milk with my 2 grandsons--9/6; during their weekend staycation. Never goes out of style!
And SOUPY SALES, an afternoon show.
And it was quickly cancelled (heresay?) when he said the wrong way about creampie in your face, live.

I had a sheet of rubbery plastic reusable film that I would put on the television screen that came with an erasable marker. It was sold as a "Tom Terrific" membership club item. At the end of the episode, Tom would get into some type of situation that he needed MY HELP getting out of by me drawing what I was told to and where to draw it on the screen.
I had one of those too ! "When there was trouble , he was there on the double. From Atlantic to Pacific....He's Tom Terrific"... Weren't those plastic stick-on screens banned due to kids being bombarded by X-rays omitted from the CRT ? Whatever the case, they certainly were fun on a Saturday morning !

Tom Corbett and the Space Patrol on Saturday morning radio, sponsored by Wheat Chex and Rice Chex cereal. Send in a box top and a couple of dollars and get a clear plastic “space hemet” with blow up plastic “air tanks”
Ah, Tom Corbett on TV was my favorite and I had to be content with that until Star Trek made its appearance.

Hey Mark, how about Bobby Benson and the B Bar B Riders every Sat. morning. Captain Midnight and a decoder that you sent for so that you could decode the message the Captain sent on the Radio.

Cost me 25 cents for that green film and crayon, a small cost for solving mysteries and building TV screen bridges so all my heroes to get away or catch the bad guys.
On another subject, why hasn't anyone mentioned "George of the Jungle?"
I sure wish I still had my cardboard ranch ordered from the Roy Roger's Show.....

OR "Howdy Dooty", bob smith, clarabelle, princess summer/fall/winter/spring"... they were priceless and NON were video recorded, they did not have the means then...
Remember in the mornings getting ready for school watching TV Captain Kangaroo was on TV and then the 3 Stooges came on later on in the afternoon. Mc Hale's Navy, Rat Patrol, Combat, Get Smart, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Hogan's Heroes, The Munster's and the The Addams's Family. Remember those good old days.
