I remember watching "Gidget" movies and the beach party movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funachello. I loved those movies!

I loved Sandra Dee as Gidget. I remember watching the tv show with Sally Field. And Sally as The Flying Nun, loved that!

I remember getting up early and watching the Test Pattern before regularly scheduled programming began for the day. For me that meant Captain Kangaroo was coming on! I also remember when stations weren't on 24/7 and signed off with the Star Spangled Banner. There was no such thing as "instant on or instant off" for television sets (I remember when they became selling features) so you had to wait for the TV to warm-up and when you turned it off the picture would fade to a white dot and we used to watch the white dot until is was completely gone. Guess you could say we were easily amused...(or my dad had figured out yet another way to put one over on us).

I remember when the television "would go on the blink" and we had to borrow a tube tester to find out which one of tubes needed to be replaced. We only received two stations -- one was a fuzzy KDKA TV from Pittsburgh. It only came in when the weather was "right." Even back in those days there was talk of pay cable. I couldn't imagine anyone paying for TV when we got one (or two if we were lucky) perfectly good stations for free. My current cable bill is probaby what my dad earned in a week at that time.

Readonly, my goodness, I had forgotten all about the tube tester. And when your tv was on the blink, the tv repairman came to your house to fix it unless it needed a new picture tube and they would take it back to the shop. Nowadays, it's just cheaper to buy a new tv.

It used to be a treat to get to stay up late and watch the Jaques Cousteau specials on tv.

I remember when it was Halloween time, going to the Kellogg's Five and Dime store and buying wax lips, wax fingernails, wax moustaches and little wax skeletons filled with the most "yummy" juice.
