THOSE DAYS

The tv world of the 1950’s – and a bit before…

The death of Soupy has started the thinking – no research now…just off the top of the head.
Am thinking of those old shows – I bet film does not even exist for many of them.

I am thinking of such characters as Tom Corbett, Space Cadet; Mike Barnett, detective; Buz Corey, Space Patrol; Captain Video, who had the most ridiculous sets and costumes imaginable; and, more recently, 77 Sunset Strip.

And in the other medium, such shows as Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons; The Great Gildersleeve; Gangbusters; the Shadow, and countless others.

Again, no research here – just recollectin’.

Time flies when you are having fun.
