Don't sit too close to the television set, kids!
Agree ... dad _enforced_ stay at least six feet away from the TV.
Gamma rays or something was going to get us.
But don't forget ... Hey Donnie, put it on channel 7 ... *WE* were the remote controls back then.
😂 👍🏻
Mama was afraid I'd train my eyes to only see things up-close, so she kept reminding me to sit away from the tv.
@@echoecho3108 😂 same here. It’ll hurt your eyes. Give ya the headache…
@@phyllisjohnson1019
Guess she was right. I'm 73 now, and have to wear glasses for long distances. 🙄
A time when less was truly more!
Unless you couldn't see it I guess. Then you didn't have much choice but to be dependent on others.
@@yankee2666 there probably wasn't any mention of the struggle of the disabled back then during the time of racism, sexism, antisemitism, abs ableism. Today offers a much better environment.
@@johnclaybaugh9536 Ism, ism, ism. You would never be a survivor.
@@Dallas_K spoken like a truly privileged idiot.
Should you ever necomd disabled in any way remember go not use anything that only exists because of the ada. Do not not use any technology. Just say home all the time for someone else to take care of.
Brings a tear to my eyes. People don't know how good life was.
I was born in 1961, and even back then life for kids was very different and nice. I wish I could go back and leave these times.
Born in ‘43…so you can just imagine the wonderful wholesomeness I experienced as a child. Lived on a farm. 5 siblings. Stay at home mom. Dad was always there to keep us in line, even tho he had a regular job “in town”.
So very true
Born in 1950, you are so 100% right. The moral majority existed then along with freedom of speech of which both are totally gone today replaced my the PC movement. What tremendous fond memories of I had of that era.
I was born in early 57' and still have a few toys from the late 50s. A teddy bear, a Marx Train set and a View Master 3D Stereo scope. My brother who is older still has his Radio Flyer wagon from Xmas 1958 or 59. And yes definately a better time. Today America is a true sh!thole.
For my Mom she said it was a wonderful time, lots to do outside, you never wanted to be inside specially in nice weather and sitting around you never did. Kids were very active back then! Made there own fun! Thanks for sharing!👍
My mom would lock us out in the yard when we were little! Had to get the housework done. I guess we got the hint because later on we just took off. Any number of places to see & things to do.
Yes, kids still played outside in the 70s clear up to the early 2000s, as If no one beyond the 50s did so! When, my daughter was growing up and, if we were in a area where we weren’t near no one, to make sure she was safe and, she had to play by a field, I went with her for sure and, we would do what activity she chose, in fact, I would keep her out as long as I could and, if she rode her bike, somewhere, I would walk along with her! You definitely had to do this more in the 2000s if you couldn’t look out and see your kids to keep a eye on them anyway. You felt more safer if you were right there with them. And, luckily one place we lived at for quite sometime, there was a park near by!
"Be home when the streetlights come on!" I can still hear that in my Mom's voice.
_... Kids were very active back then! ..._
That's also why there was one "fat kid" at school. The other 99.9% of us were playing, riding our bikes, baseball, kick-the-can, etc. etc. etc.
We were much healthier back then, too.
and no one was fat.
One two buckle my shoes....who remembers that one?
Three-Four close the door. :)
Five six pick up sticks.
Seven eight lay them straight.
@@TheOtherBill Nine-Ten, a big fat hen!
Nine ten say it again
"Play clothes" brought back memories of the iron-on patches on blue jeans when we wore holes in them. The iron-ons would last a few weeks the come off in the wash machine. Great summer memories.
I remember those in my moms sewing basket
@@samanthab1923 Why do kids want brand new pants that have holes in the knees? And sell for a hundred dollars a pair or more? 🤔. When I was a kid I wanted new clothes that LOOKED brand new.
@alfredo7843 ... I thought the _exact_ same thing when he talked about "play clothes."
Mom had her sewing machine, and she'd "patch" our jeans.
In summer, she'd make "cut offs" (short pants) by cutting at the knees the "holes" off, and _viola_ short pants !!
@@glennso47 Crazy right? First of all my parents would never let us leave the house dressed in “rags”! Nevermind the price. Not happening. I got my son hooked on thrift stores early. He has a better wardrobe than most grown men. Cashmere overcoats & blazers. Burberry trenches. Loves wide wale corduroys & Brooks Bros. oxfords.
Tuff skins pants with reenforced knee's.
Born in ‘52 and remember many of these things. Our TV was a 17” Muntz. I know many say it but it truly was the best decade to grow up in. It was a time of discovery, innovation and happiness.
Four TV stations if you lived in a city. My dad bought a TV in 1951 to watch the Boston Celtics and Willie Mays.
Bonus, were then able to enjoy all the upcoming decades too
Being a kid of the 50's/60's this sure brings back great memories. To see the dumpster fire the country has turned into is so disheartening.
Fortunately after COVID, I can no longer smell the burning trash.
Meh. What were blind people doing back then?
Meanwhile, I have ice cream in the freezer.
My TV is a 55in. My laptop allows me to consume all sorts of information.
Minivans are a thing now and seatbelts have saved my family from trips to the hospital.
Things are more expensive, but that's why we needed the minimum wage to keep up.
Should I keep going?
@@johnclaybaugh9536 I can tell you that people actually interacted with people and had real relationships instead of imaginary online ones. They were more fit. Kids played outside and actually got exercise. There was patriotism just to name a few. Oh, we had ice cream in the freezer then also.
@@Dadsezso and yet we have all these things now too.
And we have more knowledge and the ADA. I can go out by myself if I want.
@@Dadsezso, and it was real ice cream. Even the cheap stuff was as good as the overpriced organic stuff of today.
I was born in 1948 - remember the 1950's very well. It was a great time period to be a kid.
amen !!! good old days
A lot of things in this video were still true in the 70s. After Saturday morning cartoons, the rest of the day was spent playing outside. When we heard the ice cream truck coming, we ran inside to ask Mom and Dad for money.🍦😃 🏈
I was doing that stuff in the 80s and 90s.
We hated the ice cream man as children. My friend and I would throw rocks at the truck because he drove past our farms. Our parents wouldn't give us money for anything. He drove past playing little brown jug and he'd have to go out of his way to do so. When I here kids talk about allowance it makes my skin crawl. Quoting my father "me allowing you to live is your allowance". Growing up on a farm as an only child ment there was never playtime. You worked like a a dog all weekend. On school days it was work till the bus came and work the moment you got home and you were lucky to have time for homework when the day was done. In my experience the people that look back at their childhood with nostalgia were the ones spoiled and catered to
That's exactly how it was in the '80s too. 😊

@@hellhound1389 not
I can remember almost everything here. Sure makes me feel old. A great time to be a kid, though.
Like wise !
Once a day remember to have a little fun whatever it is? Whether it’s eating an ice cream or drinking a soda or watching your favorite show on MeTV! Not normal cases but in many cases age is a state of mind❤😊
🤠💪❤️ I had Roy Rogers costume growing up in the 60 s after my mom threw away my Davy Crockett C😃😃N skin hat ❓❓❓
@@jadeblues357 me too I remember going to the drugstore and buying a real Cherry Coke ❤️🧋🥤 I always ask her to put extra syrup in my soda pop 😃🥤‼️
I was born in March of 1946 and remember it all. Where I was from (Louisiana) Saddle Shoes were called "Saddle Oxfords". I liked Davy Crockett like most kids, in 1970 during my 2nd tour in Vietnam I got to meet Fess Parker at a USO canteen in Da Nang. I was surprised how tall he was and how nice he was which I expected from Davey Crockett "The King of the Wild Frontier".
I was born in 1961 and we wore Saddle Oxford shoes ❤
same year and month as i!
I was born in 1946, and I remember an older neighbor girl's poodle skirt and saddle oxfords. She also wore snug "peddle pushers" when she rode her fat tired girl's 26" bicycle with a coaster brake. I learned to ride on her bike. Our car was a 1941 Studebaker.
I wore saddle oxfords to school every year. I actually miss them now. LOL.
"I love to hear the stories of Vietnam veterans"?
In the 1960's, when elementary school let out, we'd walk home, change into our "play" clothes and then, if it was nice outside, we'd go play until dinner. After dinner, we'd go back outside to play and my parents expected me to *be home* when the street lights came on. :D Rules weren't made to be broken. They were made to help everyone learn to be more thoughtful and dependable.
In the 2020s, none what you described happens. 😢
@@appleforever6664 :) No reason why it can't happen again. There is a Majority of decent people in the USA and we've overcome other challenges before. It was certainly a great way to grow up. :D
I feel my blood pressure lowering when watch and listen to your calming voice. Thank you!!
A few you tube guys have calming voices, and you're right, it _IS_ wonderful. There's a cooking guy, who makes nice home-made recipes, and I LOVE to listen to him, too.
He forgot to mention the View Master 3D Stereo scope viewers that were real popular back then. My brother and I still have ours along with the slides.
My first view of the Grand Canyon, and the pyramids were on Viewmasters !!
@Nicky. Yeah. I remember the 3D View Masters in the 1960s.
*Hopalong Cassidy was all the rage!*
An evolution of the steriopticans of the 1890s and 1900s.
When times were simple.😊
That reminds me of one of my all time classic “truths to live by”: The simple life is it’s own reward”!!!!!!
And women were relegated to the kitchen. 🙄
@@GeeEm1313 and let’s not even talk about non white people.
@@davidpearson3304 ahh, good old liberal guilt. There has never been and never will be a time when everyone has it great.
The sad thing about this video is that these kids were victims of the same kind of junk marketing that still goes on today. Can you say "fidget spinners"?
I used to visit my grandparents during summer vacations & they lived on a farm. Hated it!!! Worked 7 days a week with livestock & gardening. Food was great though.
Nostalgia is powerful. Family game night sounds like a damn good idea instead of the digital distractions.
I used to have single-mom family game night back in the 90s. Nothing like trying to get a middle aged woman interested in Risk and Battleship
My life would be literal garbage without technology. I'm so fortunate to not have been forced to live through that hell.
Family game night sounds awful
I wasn’t born til 1961 but I always think of the 50’s as being innocent and fun! ❤
It was the last of our innocence. The 60s came and Vietnam and the counter culture happened. That was it for innocence in America.
Me to. 61".
What’s so fun about “innocence” and gullibility?
@@joerichardwad1645 It beats being indoctrinated
50s, 60s and 70s, were the best times for kids to grow in. If I only had a time machine.
By the mid or late 70s America was becoming a sh!thole. Nothing like today but you could see it happening.
And very many will endeavor to convince others not then there, this for their selected wicked-intending purposes (tho likely mostly subconscious AS CONFIGURED), that it was terrible and horrible, THEY THEMSELVES not even having lived during it nor probably even hear.
We exist now in a world peopled by liars, prevaricators, hypocrites and basically the functional-driven-insane (AND WORSE!), by what has concerted to create their near-alternate species!
ALTERNATE SPECIES . . . nearly!!!
With such a filthy swirling garbage pool as we all now endure, I for one at least am N--O--T 'OK' with it.
Contrarily we, so I suppose to be, CAN believe facilely that, THEY believe IT as being simply past-marvelous -- a wonder of it's sordid sort!!!
And so resulantly, they can actually DEFEND their present living horror, because they are part of it as fully accommodated to it's unending, constant perditions.
It never stops!
We that have memories of that time of earlier, OBSERVE what character lack and honor deficit has created, and it stinks of a unique vileness unequaled!
Of course there is much, much more but, here mercifully I shall leave-off . . .
I was born in 1959. Growing up as a sixties kid I too had designated play clothes.
Having been born in 1950 I remember all of this. Given what we see happening around us in this present time I'm grateful to have lived in the best of times.
You sound a lot like my grandfather (on my moms side) but my father would've described it as hell. My grandfather was from a wealthy family in the suburbs but my father was from a poor family in the country. My father still had to cut wood for heating and cooking. They pumped their own water because no indoor plumbing so it ment using an outhouse and taking baths in a washtub from oldest to youngest. He didn't have a TV until 61. They hunted food and sometimes they depended on that. He hated the 50s and said he went into the army because it was better than home
Who else grabbed Dad's hammer and smashed whole rolls of caps to see what would happen?
Fun times, thanks.
Guilty.
Used to pop them with my thumbnail. Most of the time they just went pffftt with a cloud of smoke. Burned my thumb nail 🤣.
It's great to remember....life was gentle..not hateful like now
@Oats J. Mule Me too. Clothes were made better then because they were made in America 🇺🇸.
@Oats J. Mule Thank you. Best wishes to you too.
The older I get the more I appreciate these videos. I wouldn't trade those times for anything
As a side note your 50's and 60's recollection videos are my favorite ones bringing back many fond memories of a very long time ago.
Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years. My dad used to tell me about the little ball he played stickball with in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up. …A novel approach to storytelling, but I enjoyed it and flipped my copy to my dad. I think he’ll like it.
Sad my grandkids can't live how I did....so much happier times.
Your grandkids have much more opportunity now and may be able to reverse what you people did to the planet.
I was born in 1958 and I remember all of this. I love memories past , but I enjoy looking forward to tomorrow .
I'm 73. Still waiting for Prince Charming.
I was born in 1979, so the 80s was my 50s. Even the 1980s felt a lot better than today. We had Regan and a booming economy. Good times!
A great president deserves to have his name spelled right. It is Reagan. Donald Regan was Secretary of Treasury and Chief of Staff under Reagan and quite the subject of contempt by Nancy Reagan.
Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee 🎶
"Greenest state in the land of the free! . . . " :o)
Shot him a bar when he was only three
@@rugosetexture2716 Kill a bear when he was only 3. :)
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree....
Life was so different then. Great time to grow up.
It was fun to "double-up" those roll-caps for an extra bang, or even quadruple them up and smash them with a pointy rock on the pavement!
We would break off a couple rolls from the packaged roll, like @2:55, flatten them a bit so they wouldn't roll away and then pounded that with a hammer. Man, it was loud!!
@@davidgibbs381 Haha! Beat me to it! I was going to say the same thing. Wonderful memories!
@@garrettswoodworx1873 You could also dip them in gasoline and light the strip... POP POP fizzle... POP POP
M-80s were the bomb
I was born at the very end of the 50s but still a carryover of memories from my early days.
I was born in 1957,I was raised in the 1960's. Those were the good old days and enjoyed this video.
Yeh me too. Feb. 57. 57 was a great year. Cool cars and great music.
@@matrox I was born in June 1957.
I loved Good Humor!
Good Humor ice cream tasted so good back then.
I absolutely love your channel! It’s a beautiful thing to be able to take a trip back and see how much better we lived in America. It’s really sad what has happened to our country and world. It sickens me and to see so much bad things I am reminded of how the Bible says it will be like this. Thank you for giving us a good feeling of how it was and what we miss so much ….
Me and my Pa set up our old 1930s Lionel train every year at Christmas time, until he passed at 79 in 2002. Those years at Christmas are some of my most cherished memories. RIP Papa.
I still watch the Roy Rogers show every Saturday morning. Great memories here. Thanks for putting this together for us.
The fifties were a great time to grow up especially if you were a teenager as I was the rise of true rock and roll, the most beautiful sand iconic cars,roller skating rinks, playing outdoors till moms called your name and then it was home for the young kids but teenagers were allowed to stay out till 9 pm. The greatest years to grow up in.
Grew up in the 2000/2010s I had so much fun stuff like video games and internet, but I think it would be great to give it all up to be able to grow up in the 50s 😢
I miss those days!!
Thanks for the sweet look back 🙂
I remember back when I was a kid we had black and white TVs and color had not hit the scene. And then after he did I only knew a couple of people that had a color TV. And most of the shows weren't in color yet anyway. LOL I remember watching Gilligan's Island in black and white when it was brand new in the second season it was in color but not at my house. It just said in color on the screen. So it's always fun to go stay with some relative and watch cartoons on Saturday and color it was like a whole new world. 😂
I was born in 1961, I still watch the older movies online in B/W, miss them. Colors don't always make for a good movie or show =(
Kids today will never know the good times we had in those days!!!
We made a big raft for the river. It could hold 3 kids. We rode the tides out, and then used a sail made of an old sheet to go back up the river where we tied the raft. It was about a 6 hour round trip. We'd sometimes ride the raft to a nice spot, tie it up, and then cook hot dogs. We had a blast.
AMEN
I am always impressed of all the vintage photos there are in these video's
One thing that stands out in MY memory banks is how everything tasted so much better back then.
Thanks for the memories.
Born in ‘47…and I fondly recall all of this. Dangerous activities made us smarter. We overcame fears, learned about nature, learned to get along with others, learned courage, learned to make good decisions, learned responsibility, etc. By the time we were 18, we were ready for adulthood…we had learned to work, handle money, pay bills, some were ready for marriage. We signed up for the draft, went to college to actually learn something so we could be beneficial to our society….in other words…we had matured. There were always exceptions, of course…but most of us succeeded at life because of our independent childhoods.
Oh, the memories😀. Thank you for sharing❤️
I Am from 64 and had play clothes watched Davy Crockett and Daniel boone, and waited for the ice cream truck , so lucky to have been brought up in this era without the distractions of digital gadgets.
Wonderful memories of a happy time.
There was nothing happy about it.
I was born in the late 50s but I can still relate to most of this. I also had saddle shoes in 3rd grade which I loved though they weren't the standard at that time. I had to go to a foot doctor in order to get a pair I wanted them so badly!
Love your channel! Brought back memories of polishing my saddle shoes to keep them white.
That Sani-white shoe polish nurses used
@@samanthab1923 I can still visualize the PICTURE of a "nurse" on the cardboard box.
@@josephgaviota Right? My grandma on my dads side was a nurse. Also my mom liked to polish our white sneakers with it!
We weren't allowed to watch daytime tv. We had to go out and find something to do....bikes,baseball,bug hunting etc. Lol
Neither were we!! And... we were told that watching "too much tv" would "ruin our eyes." 🤣
It wasn’t until HS that I read friends talking about people I didn’t know, doing the craziest things. Soap Operas! My mom & Nan would never dream of wasting their time.
What about Captain Kangaroo? He was a daytime show.
@@raallen1468 Also sitting too close to the tv. We still have to tell our grandkids to not sit so close to the tv (Our 50 inch screen tv!)😮
Well I remember watching "The Liberace Show" with the piano and chandelier on his piano, "Queen for a Day" and "Divorce Court" when I was about 4. "Divorce Court" was my favorite with all that fake dramatic acting. Divorce in those days was quite rare and created Divorcees who were never invited to parties. Oh, and we can't forget Miss Frances and Ding Dong School!!!
Kids & teenagers certainly were easily amused back in the 50's.
How I envy them. ☺️
We enjoyed life and the times we had. So much has been lost the last fifty years.
Feels like I just time traveled. I love it ! Keep up the amazing work ! I’ve been a subscriber for a while .
I absolutely hated the saddle shoes!
So did I. We had to wear them as part of a parochial school uniform. After school it was tennis shoes for sure.
My dad was the first TV repairman in our neighborhood but just like the cobbler that makes shoes WE Didn't get a TV till 1961. Play clothes still exist in my vocabulary only I think they are called my gardening clothes 😂. Much simpler time.
I was born in 1952. This video brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you.
I was born in the mid-1950s and I remember all of these things. So nostalgic.
We didn't have "Good Humor" in my neighborhood, but we did have "Red," the driver of his own ice cream truck ... and as a yute, I spent many an afternoon waiting to hear his ice cream music coming down the street. He also sold frozen candy bars, and I used to like to get one of those. I don't know why, but it was something we didn't normally get. The thin chocolate coating would kind of "break away" leaving the hard interior. Sixty years later, I can still remember it.
yutes 🙂 🧑🏭👨💼👨✈️
At the gasoline filling stations, the pump jockeys gave 5 point service: 1-Filled your tank with gasoline 2-checked the air in all your tires; 3- Checked the water in the radiator; 4- Checked your oil level; and 5- Cleaned/washed all your windows.
ah how i wish i was 60 years younger again. it was a great time to be a little kid.
4:50 I cannot TELL you how many games of Yahtzee I've played with my grandma as a youngster.
Both of my Grandmothers died while I was young so most of the Yahtzee games were played with my mom.
Born in '57, I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Looking back, if I had a choice I'd pick the 50s to grow up in.👍
I recognized just about everything in these videos. Those striped polo shirts, I remember my brother wearing those. I had several of those dresses with the smocked fronts and the banded sleeves. I was also such a skinny little kid (at least until I hit puberty) that I never had a dress with bands that fit snugly around my arms. And the Good Humor truck in the town where I lived had coconut popsicles. My favorite, although just about everyone else thought I had lost it.
I remember going into a store and seeing a big pile of coon skin caps on a large table I was so exicted to get one, I remember proudly wearing it home.
I didn't arrive until 62', but could still relate in early 70s.
Born in 2001... I'm lucky enough to have experienced play clothes. I lived in the sticks. I adventures out in the woods and in the yard from the morning to sundown. When I was old enough, I was allowed to bike further than a mile from the house. Also, I remember "if you don't go outside, you're doing chores"... outside I went
Nowadays you can get stuff that used to be play clothes are now available brand new complete with holes in the knees.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally laughed out loud
Yep, the days when you could stay out all day until after dark, drank straight from the garden hose, rode in the back window of my Dads Buick. And yet I somehow survived
Simple times
I'm glad that's over.
I did almost the same things during 1970’s when I was little kid. I even remembered going a gas station when there was a tenant working at the station to fill up the car or checking the oil. Even having a Good Humor Man or an Ice Cream truck go around the neighborhood. Another one was going to a drive in restaurant to eat in the car. I grew up in the 70’s and the 80’s. I do remembered a lot of stuff in my lifetime.
I was born in the 70s, but I was always obsessed with the 50s. Still am. How I wish life today could be like the 50s. It was such a memorable time to live in ❤
Thanks for the great video - Things I remember - "play clothes" the ice cream truck" - the milk man too! I grew up in the the 60's and 70's
I wasn't around til the late 60's but we still had a sense of family. Only thing that really changed were some items and the clothes.
Man, I identify with most of this. We had a jungle gym like the one at 1:43 mark on our grade school playground. It was on asphalt. A few times a year someone hanging upside down would fall on their head. Back in class- “What happened to Billy”. “He cracked his head open” “ Oh.” Then the ambulance would pull up and we wouldn’t see the kid for a couple of days. They eventually replaced the asphalt with dirt, and years later some kind of rubber base.
Our first TV was an Admiral with a pretty small screen. I watched Captain Kangaroo and westerns on it and the 1957 and 8 World Series. Then it was a Sylvania, when that crapped out we went a few weeks without one. Finally, around 1965 we got a color Zenith set, and it was like a whole new world opened up before your eyes.
Remember the TV repair man coming over with his carry case of tubes? If he had to take the set back to the shop you wouldn’t see it for a while.
I remember getting a Sheriff’s kit that holstered a cap gun on each hip along with a hat and star. Boy, was I styling. When you shot someone, they were supposed to fall down when you said “Bang bang you’re dead”. One kid kept telling me I missed, even at point bank. “Ha Ha! You missed me!”. I finally had to push the little prick down. Of course, I got in trouble. Life lesson learned at 5 years old: not everyone plays fair.
I sure do miss full service gas stations.
Who hear remembers wearing Dirty Bucks shoes? I had several pair in the early and mid 60s but they were also popular in the 50s.
Those cowboy cap guns were still around in the 70's, and so were cars with bench seating. My family had several board and card games, as well.
Some of the cap guns were incredibly realistic looking too.
In the 70s the hearing that trucks bells made all of us kids get out of the pond and have our change ready for a strawberry shortcake or chocolate eclair. I was born in 1966 and my older siblings were 61,59,57. So I was always being draged all over the place. Parents made the siblings watch the younger ones back then. I watched them and experienced a lot for that time. They smoke drank and drove cars and dated people that they weren't supposed to. All this was a front row seat to see the seventies show. I tapped a good keg at 8 and lit bongs and campfire and fetched beers. Let's just say I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for them. You do an awesome job stirring up the memories! Keep them coming!
This was a time when kids could play outside without worry. You came in when the street lights came on. Gas was cheap, so was groceries, homes and cars. Oh the memories these videos of long ago brings back. Life was simple then. Moms stayed home and dads went to work. Thank you for another trip down memory lane. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy trails to you. God bless.
I was born in 1960 (hubby in 1952) so many of the stuff from the 50's carried over for me. My teens were the 70's, but it was still much better than today!
We had alot of the same rules and habits in the 90s. I remember the ice cream truck. Also had to lear how to tie my shoes. We had cap guns
Grew up with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans/ I loved that show. I always played Dale Evans when kids in the area were playing cowboys and Indians. She was my role model. I hated saddle shoes because of the color combination. I only wanted shoes of one color.
The early 1950s had the iceman come by to put ice in my grandmother's icebox. He'd give us kids an ice chips to suck on. The fridge came later.
Iwas born in 1950, and remrmber much of this. But I never liked dolls. Animals were my thing, and I went on to become a gallery artist who specialized in wildlife.
I was, remember!
Super-enjoyable!! Always appreciate your hard work on these videos!
..first sign of summer. THE Good Humor Man...
Born in '54 I remember the Howdy Doody show on TV as well Roy Rogers. I always waited for the Good Humor truck in summer months. Also recall girls wearing saddle shoes with bobby socks. My father gassed up our Oldsmobile with $2 worth of fuel every week - boy, what a change!

Just a quick thing about Cinderella...
The one with Julie Andrews was a version done by Rogers and Hammerstein and two more versions of it were done on TV as well. In 1965 there was the version with Leslie Anne Warren in the titular role and then Brandy took the title slot in 1997.
NOTE: This is just the Rogers and Hammerstein version. I'm not including the countless other versions that are also available (including the Disney version - even though it was released in 1950).
Yeah! I fondly remember the later Leslie Ann Warren version.
"Immmpossible!" LOL!!

The era had it"s problems however it was a simpler time.
i remember as a small boy in the 40's and 50's listening on our big ass radio, foster hewitt calling hockey night in canada. in the forties i remember us having to black out our windows when the 2nd world war was on. i guess they thought germany might bomb british columbia. there used to be a grocery van, an ice wagon and a tar truck back then. i remember rumble seats in cars and mechano sets. sweet memories.
Love the memories and nostalgia when America was a much simpler country to live in. The editor was right on to small details that made everything mentioned come to life.From Roy Rodgers, Cap Guns that were as big as the original 1870s Single Action Army Pistols. In fact there were so many memories,people ,places and things mentioned that were a part of life I am going to save in on my favorites. I remember well being on the roof and receiving directions on turning the TV Ariel so we could get the best reception on the few stations that we could see. It is hard to believe as we look back over the past 60 or more years how much the developed world has changed. Then one has to look at the primitive areas of Africa and parts of South America where some people still have not seen their first Television Show, the Internet ,Hot and Cold running water and modern medicine. The world has changed a lot but there are places that time has forgotten.
There's still regions of the USA that are that way but since there's no infomercials for them people forget about em
The best part about the 50’s were everyone lived near each other. I was always surrounded by family. I’m still close with my cousins & their kids. Tough part is the loss of all my older relations.
The '50s and 60s were happy times today it has become deceitful , I'm 72 but I really do feel sorry for younger generation they don't know how to go outside and just have fun.
The Good Humor man came to my school at lunch (early 1960s) I used to love it.
In 1947 we would stand outside the TV store being amazed. We bought our first set in 1948.
One the (very foolish) things we used to do was to find door keys with a hollow shaft and filled it up with phosphorus from match heads; then we needed a nail -cut it so the end was flat - that fit snugly into the shaft of the key. Then we tied a string to the two ends of the key and swung it around a few times, striking a concrete pole. It gave off a tremendously loud bang. Needless to say sometimes the key broke apart. Thank goodness we ran out of keys very fast, with no injuries to anyone.
I wore saddle shoes until I graduated HS in 1977. Loved them.
