Gotta be one of the creepiest commercials ever made. Kids had to be scared to death. 1956.
Back in the days of the inocence of clowns—bozo, clarabell, emmett kelly…then one guy comes along and ruins it for all of them.

I liked Cpt. Kangaroo pretty good and Mr. Green Jeans...
I must be honest, they bored me even as a kid.
Oh but the intricacies and nuances you missed. In Detroit it was a lifestyle to strive for...(Just saying...)
Heck, I was a Batman aficionado back in the day with Adam West and Burt Ward...

My dad was one of the Kentucky guys that moved to Detroit to make cars when I was a baby. He went to work for Hudson, but got homesick and only stayed a year. Mom said people on the bus would give me coins to talk because they couldn't believe a kid that young could talk. That's odd because I'm one of the quietest people you will ever see.
Same here. I believe many young boys our age back during the 60s enjoyed Batman costumes. The show ROCKED!
Agree! Loved the slanted room scenes.
Did all your talking as a baby!! You deserve a break
Love this scene. Great movie
My Tanker Buddy has been on it for a good while now... Spot on too...
Building climbing scenes via "Bat Ropes" rocked too. Cameos were absolute classics. Remember Col Klink opening the window? Heh, way ahead of its time.
One of my early memories was Dad and Mom going back to Kentucky from Michigan to visit. (I was the baby by a lot of years and my Brother and Sister didn't make the trip. I was almost like an only child. Still try to make my kids understand that age gap and the feelings involved as there is a lot of years between my two oldest and my youngest.)
I was laying in the back window a lot of the trip playing with my Batman and Robin dolls and Army men (I remember for ATXCat) that Virgil swiped those dolls and Army men from me during that trip.). Ole Robin himself was in costume at a gas station my Dad pulled into off the highway. (I cannot remember but dad told me it was the real Robin from TV. He told me that a lot of years later too.) I was probably about 6 or so, not much more if not younger.
Robin came up in costume to meet me and I hunkered down in the back floorboard shy as all get out. He patted me on the head and I was so happy but I could do nothing else. (It probably was not the real one but I thought he was.)
Also remember Dad as angry as all get out just going on and on about the 42 or 44 cent gas prices on the highway.
Werner Klemperer. Forgot that one.
I was one of those sad mountain boys who had to leave the hills to go "up north" to find work. Detroit the first time. Ended up going back home after about 4-5 months. Had to leave again, this time for Fort Wayne, IN. Never again moved back to the hills (married a Yank). I can remember lying in bed almost in tears, so lonesome for back home. This Dolly Partin song always brings back those memories.
"You ought to go north somebody told us
'cause the air is filled with gold dust ...

Herschel Walker on Olympic protests: 'If people don’t like the rules, why are you here?'
Football legend Herschel Walker has a lot to say about Olympians protesting the American flag and kneeling before games, as spectators have observed in recent days during the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Yup.....
Morning all.
Y'all have a good, safe, and healthy Lord's Day.
Discovered just about two weeks ago on I think The Roku Channel, the original Batman TV show from about 1950. Had no idea there was an earlier show. Funny watching Batman driving a regular old standard 1949/50 car.

I was too... 🤪
Did you whisper to them?
Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) was Clarabell the clown on the Howdy Doody Show. That show may be the first one i ever saw on TV. Late 1940's. My family did not get a TV until about 1956 because mama wanted nothing to do with them. Daddy wanted one so he bought one for her birthday and she was stuck with it. I got to see the World Series at my house that year. Thanks dad
Life in the 40's and 50's. I wouldn't have missed it for anything
My daughter left here yesterday about noon with a friend and her family to go to Hugo Oklahoma where they have an elephant sanctuary where you can wake up and feed the elephants breakfast from your own cabin. Been here a while and never knew that this place existed. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from us.

I just about can do that, I have a neighbor about two doors down. he doesn't have a trunk but other than that he fits the bill... He's got that gargantuan thing going on...
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and mostly cloudy. We should top out around 99°F today. The heat is on.

Here you go Chief...Always loved this song, even though I went East not North. Still missed Kentucky and have never stopped thinking of it as home.
Been listening to a lot of George Jones on my long walks lately. Things are good and stable in my life but his music always reminds me of those days most of us have as young men with drama and heartache from relationships with women. As I said to a buddy in a bar one night when I was about 20 -- and he never let me forget: "It's good they have George Jones on this juke box. It's nice to know however bad you feel you can invest a quarter and in three minutes you'll be feeling much, much worse..."

Team USA Men's BB just lost opening game to France, 83-76. Embarrassing.
On Fox & Friends they showed that TV and streaming was down lower than any other.
It is pitiful that a few spoil things for many.
My wife and I were in a restaurant last night in suburban DC -- hardly a hotbed of Conservative ideals -- and a foursome at the table behind us were talking about how they were boycotting anything to do with the Olympics because of the athletes "disrespecting the flag and the national anthem."
I can't wait for the networks to realize the billions of dollars they are losing by emphasizing these cretins and losers "standing up for social justice." Maybe we'll see an adjustment in what and how they cover these self-important jerks.
Wasn't around in the 40s but was here for the 50s. Have said many times that it was the best/greatest decade of my lifetime. And I say that not just from a child's point of view. Things started going to pot in about the mid-60s.
Nah, they are nearly fully funded by China...aka U.S. dollars that are laundered. Not going out of business soon. President Trump was denting that laundering operation... Bigly. Now it is back in full swing. All the dough they can print, and a bow to boot.
The laugh if there is a laugh in this situation is these Network buffoons' will be the first ones destroyed once these Networks get what they want.... Too stupid to even realize it. No idea they hate the very freedom that allows them to destroy themselves and everything they touch...
For sure. The first show that I saw was at my next door neighbor's house. They had a TV and Howdy Doody Show would come on and about 5 of us kids would flock to Ell's house to watch Howdy Doody.
It is a very warm 83.8°F on my back porch. It is going to be hot today topping out at 92. I bet it will beat 92.
Went to Shelbyville and Taylorsville for my daughter-in-law’s birthday. Ate at a good Japanese restaurant. Good stuff. Of course dumb Bert always falls back on his favored foods instead of experimenting.
Man I made a good batch of biscuits if I do say so myself. White Lilly Self-Rising Flour, Milk, Crisco, Salted Butter, and finely shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. (My Darling stated it too. Ate two with coffee.)(Increased the butter and decreased the Crisco.) (Used sweet milk too but that wasn't the cause, I will add back buttermilk the next time, was out this time.) I am thankful!
