Not to be a killjoy but that is an unfortunate hoax.

They do have names but they're nothing more than the letters they resemble: O, I, J, L, S, Z and T.

This is funny and shows you how times have changed...My best buddy and I were downtown Belleville, Il and who did we just about bump into... William Schallert...Patty Duke's tv dad..he gave us his autograph and told us he was heading into the Drug store to send a telegram...he was filming In The Heat Of The Night in nearby Sparta, Il..it was so cool!...at least at the time...lol

You left off Wrestling!  @mystery-ak EVERY Friday night whether you liked it or not it was Pepper Gomez, Bull Curry, Paul Boesch, ... seemingly trying to kill one another!

Fact is that wrestling was the very first thing I ever saw on a TV set.

Funny you should mention that...If I went to my Grandma's for the weekend, which I did a lot...that's what we watched..she loved it....If I remember correctly it was on KPLR out of St Louis...which was a local independent station.

In looking back, I liked just about anything my parents would let me stay up and watch.  The only show I really couldn't stand was "I Love Lucy".

I was young and the Twilight Show and Alfred Hitchcock creeped me out.

You guys are about two or three years older than me I guess. Those shows were almost off the air when I was born or was a baby.

But I sure like them now

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Our closest neighbor lived about one-fourth mile from us and was the first to get a TV set.  On Friday nights people would be standing outside watching wrestling through the windows.

Same family owned the country store right next to their house.  Friday nights were big business for them!

I vaguely remember a show called “Winky Dink” on Saturday mornings.

I only remember this show because you were supposed to put a “magic screen” over your TV and then you colored on top of it.

I colored on the tv without the magic screen and my crayons made a mess.

Growing up there was a kid on my street who's dad took him to wrestling every week. He would then show us the moves. We did a lot of wrestling. Later I watched several times at the coliseum. And when I finally bought a house, turns out Paul Boesch had lived in our neighborhood. My oldest son was on the HS Varsity Wrestling Team all 4 years. When he graduated he and 4 other wrestlers all joined the Navy.

I googled it. Seems like I remember when it was syndicated in 69.

We had "Studio Wrestling" in Pittsburgh, hosted by "Chilly Billy" Cardille. Baseball great Pie Traynor would show up to do commercials for a plumbing company (the catchphrase, "Who can? Ameri-can!"). Each match featured a bad guy and a good guy, but Bruno Sammartino was always the good guy. There was a studio audience, and everyone in town knew one loudmouth fan, Ringside Rosie.
