Because Barbara Eden was a babe who could wiggle enough to make a developing boy sit up & take notice.

The hottest woman on the planet to an awkward, shy 16 year old...

The TV show posts got me thinking about the old Saturday Movie Matinee where Ch7 would run a classic movie. We’d scan the TV guide in advance hoping it would be an Elvis movie(massive fans of The King)but would comfortably settle for something from Don Knotts. Those Saturday afternoons seemed to go on forever.

Which led into the Saturday Evening movies.. hosted by Bill Collins..

My parents would tune in but I'd nick off to my room and do something else.. still remember the intros and the theme music though..

Because Barbara Eden was a babe who could wiggle enough to make a develop boy sit up & take notice.

Barbara Eden wearing her Jeannie outfit didn’t leave much to the imagination mind you apart from that it was always amusing seeing the situations she put Major Nelson in. Even though Barbara Eden was a babe I always thought Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha in Bewitched was stunning.

My god, the old Bata Scouts with the compass in the soul of the shoe.

 

[horrie hastings]

A couple of shows which have long disappeared with out a trace.
The first, Catch Kandy, a story about a boy and girl who runaway thinking they had killed their uncle, they ended up living in a cave right near Taronga Zoo.


The other a cartoon Arthur and the Square Knights of the Round Table, Arthur was voiced by John Meillon. Watching it in later years it was very camp.

And the bear paw print on the sole.

I have to admit I still like watching Skippy when its on tv.

 

[horrie hastings]

The Flintstones, I would watch this when I got home from school, I was confused though, we could watch ch 4 Wollongong where we lived and this opening would be on


but then I would watch it on one of the Sydney channels a bit later and would get this version


The first one was just used in season 1 and 2 and the other was season 3-6. Later when in full syndication they changed the opening and closing of season 1-2 to Meet the Flintstones, when released on DVD season 1-2 went back to their original opening closing credits.

and to make it even slightly more confusing season 3 of Meet The Flintstones was slightly different because Pebbles and Bam Bam weren't in the picture yet.

Another cartoon that has disappeared off the face of the earth is Here Come The Grump, it aired on a Saturday evening just before or just after Dick Dastardly and Muttley in Stop The Pigeon .

 

[horrie hastings]

Another Wacky races spin off

[horrie hastings]

The Jacksons and The Osmonds had their own cartoon series.

 

[horrie hastings]

Then came the appalling cartoon versions of The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch Kids and Jeannie.
