Cadets are too young...

Try who is, Davey,

We used to watch Davey on Sunday mornings, one of the early examples of "claymation."

Davey was a young boy who seemed to always have some sort of moral dilemma.

His dog Goliath (who spoke in this really slow deliberate manner) would explain and guide him to make the "right" choice.

I think it was developed by the Lutheran church.

Ok wow that brought back memories... when Pima put Davey I was racking my brain and I knew I should know it... then you posted that pic and it all came flooding back!

How about the Heidi Bowl Game? Anyone remember that? Here's a hint it changed TV viewing.

Ahh...who wanted to watch that football game anyway?

Heidi is so...soothing...

It wasn't a bowl game - it was a regular AFL game between Oakland Raiders and the Jets. Oakland came back to score 2 TDs in the last minute to win the game- which we couldn't see because the Network had gone to show "Heidi". That was the season that Broadway Joe Namath and the Jets won the Superbowl. I can't remember who the QB for the Raiders was- Darryl Lamonica or Ken Stabler maybe? This was 1968 and I was 12 years old - long time ago. Afterwards there was at least one long running commercial which played off the incident- shows a guy sitting down with his beer and TV announcer all of a sudden saying:" and we now switch to bring you "The Wonderful world of Heidi":biggrin:
TPG at least will remember this!
 
I don't recall that at all!

I remember yrs ago we were at a 70's party at the squadron, of course with 70's music. A song comes on and a wife says, that was not a top 40 hit in the 70's it is a lullaby tune, my Mom use to sing it to me.

Yes, Lt. wife, Mom sang it because it was a popular song! That was the minute we all looked at each other and said SHEAAT we are old.

The tune...my name is Michael, I've got a nickel, shiny and new. ..

Sorry if the tune is stuck in your cranium now...trust me if you don't know it, don't google it because for the rest of the day that song will stick in your mind.

Here's also how you can know what generation you are associated with:

Genesis original
Genesis with Phil Collins
Phil Collins, Genesis who
Phil Collins who...Oh you mean the guy who sang the Lion King song!
 
I think George Blanda was Oakland's QB. I do recall a commercial that played off the game...but for the life of me, I cannot recall who it was for.

It was Lamonic that was the QB for Oakland and NBC bought ads proclaiming how good Heidi was with a quote from Joe saying "I didn't get a chance to see it, but I heard it was great."
 
Joe Nameth in panty hose is one my earliest memories related to football....guess I'm not quite as old as some of you, but I do remember getting our first color TV that took up half the living room floor, and being amazed at the NBC peacock in technicolor:smile: We had 4 TV stations and didn't have near the trouble finding something worth watching.

LOL and you forgot to put in one key features that those all wood floor models had that TVs don't have today! You never asked where is the remote... you had to get up to change the channel on the knob!:thumb:

So true....our DD was around 12 years old when she realized that you could change the channel without the remote, and that only happened when the batteries died in it and she was at a loss as to what to do....She is not the future engineer:yllol: I still bust her about that 15 years later:biggrin:

Sadly they put stuff on remotes that you can't do on the actual TV set anymore, so sometimes when the battery dies, you can't watch anything but what it was on before!
(I feel like a bunch of people are going to comment that that is no big hardship and to live without a TV for a little while, so just so you know, I don't watch that much TV ;))
