You sure know a lot about a girly man show you never watched.
I was 7 when that episode came out ...... what was your excuse?
:laugh2:
Where did I say I never watched it? I said I did not care for it, that is not the same as saying I never watched it.
I would imagine we were about the same age when it was on and I am also sure you remember that there were only a few channels at that time so if the parents liked a show you had to watch it, unless you found something else to do at night.
I just remember they went through all of that hoopla about who shot JR...and it was HUGE at that time. Only for it later to pan out as a dream. I think that irked a good number of people.
But as a kid I remember Dallas, Knots Landing and few other shows I did not care but was the ones that the parents watched. Also had the displeasure of sitting through Hee Haw and the porter wagnoner (sp?) show...although a young Dolly Parton made the Porter show a little more bearable. :laugh2:
Heck I remember one place we lived...it was pretty backwoods area. We got one channel at a time. The antenna was up on the hill so it took a great deal of time to move it around and yell if you wanted to change to a different station and get it to come in clear.
But at least in that spot there was a great deal of outdoor stuff to do...had a decent sized pond in the back yard close enough you could throw a rock under hand from the back door and hit it in the pond. Had a nice creeks in the area and plenty of woods to walk around in. Actually missed that place as it was a great place for a young boy to go out and play.
