Do You Remember ?

Dennis Weaver was the only Chester on TV, his full name was Chester B. Goode. On radio, it was Chester Westley Prowdfoot, don't know who played the part. Some AM stations run episodes of old radio programs late at night, even the commercials.

I caught the tail end of a number of the things your referring to but I'll have you know....I still use Burma Shave...yep, it's still around!

Burma Shave: They still have the little signs along the road in your neck of the woods - havn't seen those in years

Our man Tonto. He's Jay Silverheels, a Canadian Indian. Had a successful stable of race horses as well. He was forever against stereotyping Indians, of which he was a classic stereotype. He was also a very good and kind person, not at all like todays stars. The Lone Ranger would always say, "Tonto, go to town and get information." Tonto would ride off to town, snoop around but inevitably get caught, and have the snot kicked out of him. Just once I wish Tonto would have replied, "Up yours Kemosabe. Go to town yourself!" Best wishes.

My grandkids must be different as they really enjoy the old movies and tv shows. Spent the weekend with them an I enjoyed watching the old tapes of programs they have.
My grandson (9) does a pretty good Red Skelton immitation.

Tractors with steel wheels reminds when the few blacktop roads we had at the end of WW II were posted: Tractors with Steel Lugs Prohibited, lotta tracks in the ditches back then.

popplecop,
My dad was a Blacksmith and I can just barely remember him shoeing workhorses. If remember correctly two of our neighbors were still using horses as late as 1950. The only Steel Wheel Tractors I remember back then were rusting away on someone’s back 40.

How about grandpappy Amos and the Real McCoys? I liked those burma shave signs on the fence lines and the mail pouch on the barns.

[Nulle]

Never Mind lol

Remember those transister radios about the size of a package of likesavers that had a earplug. You tuned them by pulling a rod up and down. Never worked well but all of us had them much like the walkman today.
