Santa Barbara is often acknowledged as the best soap opera ever produced in America, and I know that internationally it was one of the most popular American shows ever. A. Martinez said he could walk down any street in America and there was a good chance no one would know who he was, but the first time he went to Europe he was mobbed by fans everywhere he went. It had real drama, not just melodrama, and it was very well written. One of the many things that elevated it above most TV fare was that characters who were supposed to be educated talked like it. On most TV shows you hear doctors and lawyers say dumb shit like, "Just between you and I, Sally's baby needs to lay down now."I actually didnt watch any shows...except Santa Barbara, constant reruns. Everywhere across Russia everyone was talking about Santa Barbara show drama...even in the bus, it was crazy times.
South Park is strictly for adults!!! As for books, life is too short to read non-fiction.wow Fraggle Rocker...I cant believe you would still like seeing shows like "South Park" and "Spongebob..." ... I thought by your age I would be reading quantum particle matrix Einstein type of books for fun...
Did you get "It Aint Half Hot Mum" ? - if you did, Sorry
Mind you we got Mahabarat to make up for it (it was great on mushrooms tho)
Like Sam, I remember radio because when we moved to Arizona they didn't have TV yet. The Jack Benny Program, Henry Aldritch, Beulah, the Great Gildersleeve, Fibber McGee and Molly, and lots of music although rock and roll was a couple of years off so most of it was pretty tame.
Squeep squeep, squop squop, doodly wop wop.Dance your cares away
Worries for another day
Let the music play

We started calling them "disc jockeys" during WWII. Before that they were just "announcers."The radio was a very integral part of our lives, everyone in my family was a regular listener. After coming back from school, we'd do chores and listen to the radio. Ameen Sayani on Radio Ceylon, hosting Binaca Geet Mala , which was a request program that played songs from Indian movies. Callers wrote in postcards (no irritating phone rings) and the radio jockey (though they were not called that then). . . .
The march of technology. Railroads began bringing an entire nation together as a single community, and radio made them even closer. President Roosevelt used to hold "fireside chats" and he was in every American's parlor. (Without that pesky wheelchair, of course.) Radio was the ultimate in the mass-production technology of the Industrial Era: it manufactured people who all heard the same ideas.. . . . in his own soft, conversational style, read out the requested messages and added his own little tidbits and trivia about the song or the singer or the composer or the movie. Jimmy Bharucha did the English programs. I remember they used to dramatise childrens graphic novels on the radio on Sunday afternoons. And the Bournvita Quiz contest. Seems really far away, now, a completely different world. If you went on the bus, you'd see people with radios stuck to their ears (I remember the little green one my dad had, for cricket matches), humming along with the songs, sometimes many of us in the bus would spontaneously start singing. People don't do stuff like that anymore.

Maybe I missed 'em, but what about "I love Lucy", "Dick van Dyke" and "the Flying Nun"?
