Oh my gosh, I forgot about so many of those!
Lost in Space for sure! HR Puffinstuff!!! I loved that, I wish I could see it again, to see if it's really as weird as I remember it. Big Valley, Wagon Train, High Chapparal, Bonanza, I liked all those westerns. The Monkees!! I had such a crush on Mike Nesmith. Also Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, and even Dean Martin and the Golddiggers. Oh Laugh In! I wanted to watch Dark Shadows soooooooo bad, but mom would not let me
My sister always wanted to watch Hogans Heroes cuz she liked Richard Dawson...I never liked Hogan but Schultz was funny. I see nothingk! We also watched The Space Giants (cheesy Japanese monster/superhero show from the 60's).
I can't believe no one has mentioned It's About Time or Captain Nice or Mr. Terrific. How about Run Buddy Run! You know, shows that lasted a season or so at most.
BEKSBKS- Carol Burnett was really funny ! AS was Laugh-in too ! I don't know if Laugh -in was late 60's, I think it was or early 70's ! But I liked the old man sitting on the park bench trying to pick up on Ruth Buzzi wearing the hair net ! She'd hit him with her purse and he'd fall off the bench - that was a riot ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Land of the Giants, Time tunnel, Voyage to the bottom of the sea and the Partridge family.
Get Smart was another favorite ! Thought Don Adams was great ! What was that saying he used to always say to the chief ?
"Would you believe..." (Smart goes on to make a ridiculous claim which is
not believed, so he tries a less ridiculous claim. Example: "Would you believe
seven coast guard cutters are converging on this boat?" When the evil agent finds
that hard to believe, it is countered with "Would you believe..." It usually goes 3 rounds
of reducing ridiculousness.)
"And loving it." (A response from Smart to a warning that he will face some
kind of life and death situation. "Max, you realize you'll be facing every kind of danger
imaginable." Also used once when he was warned that he would have to spend weeks
wining and dining a beautiful spy for KAOS.)
"Sorry about that, Chief." (That's probably the line you are looking for. This one really
took off when in 1965 one of the Gemini astronauts used it when he made a mistake.)
"Missed it by that much." (Used often, but best remembered when a KAOS agent was
attempting to jump from a window into a truckload of mattresses. He jumps, Max
looks out the window, turns back to the room and utters one of the show's most enduring phrases.)
"The old ___________ trick" (It was sometimes followed by the line:
"That's the second time I've fallen for that this month/week." One example would
be: "The old gun in the peg leg trick. That's the second time I've fallen for it.")
"I asked you not to tell me that." (While many people say this today, they aren't really aware
that it was an old GET SMART line.)
OTWO- Yeah, thanks ! It was the " Sorry about that chief ! " I was looking for ! LOL! But when you mentioned all the other expressions I started remembering them as well! That was one hilarious show ! It actually was produced I believe by Mel Brooks- one of his early successes ! I liked a lot of his crazy movies too ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
I am thinking that GET SMART catchphrases could work for us when discussing
the WTS and the GB.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE "this generation" is anyone born prior to 1914?
I find that hard to believe.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE they are wicked people in the last days?
No, I still find that hard to believe.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE "this generation" is all the anointed?
Elders: Do you realize that if you disagree with the GB, you will displease Jehovahs
and be living with no hope of living forever with Jehovah's people?
JWD'er: AND LOVING IT!
They said Armageddon would come in 1914, then 1916, then 1925 and so on.
Their last prediction were 1975 and then before the 20th Century ended.
MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH! (Arms out wide.)
Ok, I hesitate to do this but it fits well with this topic...sort of.
Hey! I've read about the sixties!!!
