I got mine last week and I have only seen the cover photo. By choice I hung it on my wall and I am not flipping it over until January. Like Mona, I want to be surprised every month with a new picture, besides I really enjoy the November 2023 calendar picture of Mona and her Rickenbacker.

Another good show from the late 80’s/ early 90’s was The Wonder Years. The opening theme was the Beatles song Little Help From My Friends sung by Joe Cocker and there was always great classic songs being played in the back ground. Anyone could easily relate to the experiences of going through adolescence that was portrayed in every episode. Even these clips bring back memories.

Jung, Here’s a fun one. Rockabilly artists The Stray Cats not only pushing the music capabilities of minimal instruments but also testing the physical strength of the drums and bass by standing on them.

Married With Children was a silly comedy that ran for 11 seasons. It used the Frank Sinatra recording of Love and Marriage for the theme song. Fun fact, it used a clip from the movie Vacation in the opening credit video. At the 0:17 mark you can see the Griswald family truckster rolling down the highway heading out of Chicago.

This sitcom really set the bar high for every one that followed. I still love watching it on MeTV. Great opening and closing theme songs too.

Len, I don’t remember that movie but I remember the song. It was on an album I had by the band Montrose. I believe it was a minor hit for them. Montrose was formed by Edgar Winter Group guitarist Ronnie Montrose and the first version of the band featured a young vocalist by the name of Sammy Hagar. I believe Sammy was with them for their first couple albums and had hits with the songs like Bad Motor Scooter and Rock Candy. O Lucky Man is on a later album. I think the vocalists name was Bob James. Cool to know it came from this movie and was written by The Animals keyboardist.

Jacki, I really didn’t watch this show a lot when it was first aired. Waylon Jennings was/is one of my favorite country singers and this was a big hit for him.
-
Very cool video, well done. Kind of sad though, where does the time go.
-
Yeah, I was only 12 when the show first aired. It took me a long time to figure out that line. Edith’s singing voice irritated me too, sounded like my Aunt Delores.

Jurgen, that’s pretty funny. That would have made a good show for maybe one episode, I like silly stuff like that. I forgot about the Knight Rider. That could be a separate discussion, all the movies and TV shows with “super” vehicles like the Batmobile or the General Lee.

Oh Jacki, I got a hundred more, I probably watched too much TV as a kid. I’ll try to space them out but every time somebody posts one I think of a dozen more. I haven’t even got into the westerns yet. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Lone Ranger, haha. It’s a fun discussion.
-
I still watch the Hillbillies once in a while on METV. The great Earl Scruggs playing the banjo along with his partner Lester Flatt. Love the cigarette promotion. The closing credit verse was good too.
-
Lol, yeah I don’t think the brain was the body part they were aiming to stimulate. They did introduce some good music like Miami Vice did but after the first year or so the story lines and acting was pretty terrible. I thought Pamela was actually ok until all the plastic surgery.
-
Yeah David, It seems I remember seeing that episode of Love American Style and remember that story too. It seems I heard Ron agreed to act in American Graffiti in exchange for a chance to direct his first movies which were Grand Theft Auto and Eat My Dust.

Haha, Disco’s not that bad anymore that they are not playing it 24/7. But, yeah too much disco should get you suspended, Lol. just kidding.
