Growing up outside Chicago we had some local programs that were good. Family Classics with Frazier Thomas was one of those. Frazier did the Garrfield Goose show too. Family Classic were Classic Movies of classic books. Did many a book report from it!

Wonderful world of Disney on Sunday evening.

Yep, and all the country music shows (Buck Owens, Porter Waggoner, Glenn Campbell, etc.)
And the whole family watched with us kids sitting on the floor constantly being told to move back from the TV so we wouldn't be infertile as adults!

And I almost forgot about...Dark Shadows!
How could I forget Barnabus Collins?!

I always like the Saturday morning movie hosted by Andy Devine and his sidekick froggy twang your magic twanger froggy.
