Old Television shows/Trivia

Wait, Arlene Francis was on "I've Got a Secret". Kitty Carlisle was on that
show, too.

Come to think of it, everybody but me was on "I've Got a Secret".

I have no idea who was on "What's My Line?" but I watched it quite a lot.

Want to re-establish some of these threads for all the newbies that are showing up....

Do you guys remember the Alfred Hitchcook show???? or the original Twilight Zone.....That one sometimes scared me a little bit...like when the Gargoyles were outside the Plane hanging on the wings.......Or when the women beat her husband to death with a frozen sausage and then cooked the sausage and served it to the investigating police Officers....No Murder weapon anywhere....That was a long time ago.....You know, I never paid a lot of attention to the upcoming rock 'n roll singers and bands...I had gone Country in about '63....One day my new wife (same one I'm married to now) told me about this new "rocker".....Rod Stewart:......I just laughed and said I had heard of him a long time ago but he was a writer....you know Rod Sterling....The Twilight Zone....Duh:..........4 EVR Young.

I remember Alfred Hitchcock Presents very well. By the way, it was a leg of
lamb. Not a sausage.

They tried to redo his program. They were terrible. What the producers
didn't realize was that Hitch was all about suspense. What you thought
you saw was just as important than what you really saw.

You're right, it was a leg of lamb....How about the cold, freezing winter night the person was stabbed to death and the only thing in the room was a glass of water.......What was the murder weapon?????Can you tell......

A popsicle! Oh, you said water...

[Generals64]

The person was murdered with a single stab. There was no struggle and the police were having a problem with the case. The glass was empty before the Murder but, being a Icy night the assailant stabbed the person with an Icicle and put the icicle in the glass and it melted into drinking water.....Welcome to Alfred Hitchcock's mind....

Do you remember the Timex commercials with John Cameron Swayze? I
remember them strapping one to the leg of a horse and it dived into a pool.
Another time was when one was strapped to Mickey Mantle's bat.

Dwayne Hickman was Dobie. I saw him in a Debbie Reynolds movie a while
back. Maynard was played by Bob Denver, and I believe Maynard was the
best role he ever had.

Who was Thyla? Who played her?

wasn't Dwayne Hickman in the Robert...? Show? I'm getting old... My memory
is fading fast...

I don't know who the dad was and yes Dobie's dad owned a grocery store.
You're thinking of the Bob Cummings Show! It was before Dobie Gillis.

It does help us newbies -

Ran thru the thread real quick and don't remember seeing a couple -maybe these didn't show in ok - or maybe i just ran passed them and missed them

Highway Patrol
Francis the Talking Mule
and there was a weird kid's show on sat. - the guy sat on a throne and had a croaky voice and a puppet named froggy???

Was it Dragnet that had the sweaty hand that clanked with the sledgehammer at the end of every show?
What show had Elliot Ness and the g-men?
Penny of Sky King was my first tv sweet heart - soon followed by Annette -
My first really funny (non-kid rascals/stooges kinda show) - Steve Allen!!! surely youtube has the Zappa bicycle thing...

and who was the neighbor? And then there was Topper... no one seems to

Spring Byington was in a lot of movies. There was an oater that she was in.
Laramie? High Chaparall? Gunsmoke?

Wasn't Topper a 70's show? A spin off of that movie with Cary Grant of the
same name?
