Okay, that makes me think of the person who (ages ago on a message board I can’t remember) commented they never could understand how She-Ra could be dissed on by He-Man fans. It’s not Jem. It’s the same sort of action/adventure show He-Man is. But then that goes to the thing where boys are much less likely to accept a female protagonist than girls are to accept a male one. Even when content and character mostly the same.
Any of the Horsie shows: Rifleman, Big Valley, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, etc.
Family Affair. Buffy and Jody were equally disgusting. The only redeeming feature was Cissy’s occasional miniskirts.
Hogan’s Heroes. Yeah, Nazi POW camps were such a riot.
Donna Reed- B-o-r-I-n-g
The Patty Duke Show. Yeah, right. Identical cousins. Someone flunked biology.
Their fathers were identical twins. I’ve always assumed they married two women who also looked one helluva lot alike, as twins are wont to do. ![]()
In my family we have a pair of basically identical second cousins.
The only way I could tell them apart when they were little was their glasses’ frames were different colors. (Yes, the wore the same style glasses.)
The best part, which ALWAYS got a laugh, was “Open up! Zis iss ze Gestapo!” ![]()
I hear chunky-calved women are making a comeback! ![]()
For ‘My Three Sons’, Fred McMurray came in and filmed ALL his parts for the season in a couple of weeks, then took off. They had to fit his completed bits of wise advice-giving/perplexed reaction shots/ ‘how was school today, Chip?’/into the regular filming done by the rest of the cast. So when Uncle Charlie was discussing things with Fred, well, Fred wasn’t there on set.
I never did like Mr. Rogers’ show when I was a kid.
But for all of you folks who were not fans, he was the real deal in a way that very few human beings ever have been.

Maybe, but teenaged Shelley Fabares … mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :o
[/QUOTE]Middle-aged Shelly Fabares from Coach is pretty nice, too.
A few years ago, actually it’s probably about a decade ago by now come to think of it, I met one of my third cousins for the first time when their family came to the vacation house to visit my grandma for a few days (the grandma/matriarch of their group being first cousins with my grandma) . Other than being about 20 years younger, the 3rd cousin looked pretty much exactly like one of my first cousins. Even my uncle (the 1st cousin’s father) did a double take when he saw the 3rd cousin.
Oddly, I couldn’t have cared less about the Stooges when I was a child, but grew to like them when I got old enough to appreciate their bizarre surreality. Then, too, having grown up in the 1960s and 70s, my first exposure was undoubtedly to the 1960s line-up with Curley Joe, and to the “New Three Stooges Cartoons” which just seemed lame.
