Still, color TV had been around for awhile. I recall a local TV station making a 'big deal' out of advertising in the mid 60s time frame that they were going to be broadcasting over 70 hours (!!) of color programing in the upcoming week.

Hmm. When we watched that NBC peacock "in living color", us kids in our family were always disappointed when it remained black and white. We had no idea!
True story- when I was really young, about 8 or 9, my brother, (who was 1 year younger than I), and I were out hiking in the mountains our house faced. We reached a plateau, and discovered a TV antenna there, on public property (we knew dick about that, at the time). I boosted my younger brother up and he removed a capacitor from that antenna. Obviously I know what that was, then! By the time us two youthful miscreants got home, the guy who owned that antenna was at our our house railing at my dad about the destruction. Since it was on public property, the guy had no leg to stand on. He bitched at us about "how many people had missed the football game", but we both knew dick about football. Our life was more about "Heckyl and Jeckyl" cartoons. We were such shits in that little town!

Though we didn't know it at the time...we were pretty tame stuff. There were people in the same town who knifed and shot each other. We weren't in
that group.

Long long ago in a far away land.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Hey We've still got IGA grocers here (it's 2 blocks away!)
Anyway, here's an Aussie classic. Humphrey B Bear.
The long running kids tv show got the chop in the late 80's because naughty Humphrey isn't wearing any pants! lol
(And as a side note, those cute golliwog dolls are also banned ...because it could teach young kids the value of equality! God forbid!)
Our govt is all fucked up!
No God, No fear.
