TV shows I watched when I was a kid

When a young lad, broadcast TV was in it’s heyday. 

Everything was managed in a very controlled way. 

Rules and regulations, governed what you could say. 

There was a start and an end to the broadcast day. 

The programming was wholesome and rather tame. 

Consider shows like Gunsmoke and Wagon Train. 

Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie,  Mannix, The Andy Griffith Show. 

Not to mention Dragnet, Gilligan’s Island and Hawaii Five-0.

The Munsters, Get Smart and Dark Shadows.

The Avengers, Petticoat Junction and Hogan’s Heroes.

To be honest and with all kidding aside,

Programming like that caused us to play outside.
