clovis Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 And they pumped it for you. And they gave you free stuff like Green Stamps or knife sets or dishes. One year, when I was just a lad, my mom saved every green stamp she could get her hands on, and purchased my entire Christmas from the Green Stamp toy catalog. Most people might think that was a bad thing...but it was a wonderful Christmas. You could get some cool stuff back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Great channel, Direct here doesn't carry but hospital does during chemo. Gilligan's Island came on one day, I vaguely remembered episode. It was Snake Plissken as a kid Way better than MEHTV. Mission Impossible too. Cool.

Some of it's cool and some of it, I cannot believe we sat through! I enjoy the older cars in the background of the 70's shows. There was a Pantera on the expressway on Chips today. Two scouts sitting on the street in Adam 12 today also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRodnKustom Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I like "The Naked City" . Lots of cool vehicles and other things in a real early 60's city setting. "Peter Gun" is cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Every season, Perry Mason always drove the latest Ford, and Paul Drake had a white T-bird. Nice to see those cars on the screen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Every season, Perry Mason always drove the latest Ford, and Paul Drake had a white T-bird. Nice to see those cars on the screen... As a Perry Mason Nut, Perry Drove the following as a personal Car: '57, '58, 59 Ford Skyliner 59 Lincoln Continental if Ford was the primary sponsor for the week '57 Buick Roadmaster Convertible, '58, '59 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible if GM was the primary sponsor for the week '60, '61, 62 Ford Sunliner, '63, 64, 65, 66 Lincoln Continental if Ford was the primary sponsor for the week. '65 Cadillac DeVille Convertible if GM was the primary sponsor for the week Paul Drake Drove a '57 Corvette, '58 through '65 Thunderbird Convertibles, a '64 and a '65 Corvette Roadster.. There was one episode filmed in color (1965). Perry's Lincoln Continental was Silver Blue, and Paul's T-bird was Dark Blue. It was about a car theft ring, and Perry's Lincoln was stripped clean. A Red Mustang Convertible was a prominent car in the episode. Ford was the primary sponsor for that week. The '62 Sunliner was shown on a lot of the episodes after '62, as they used a "stock" photo shot of Perry going into the courthouse. I have a model built of the '60, and '62 Ford Sunliner like the car he drove on the show. Edited September 4, 2014 by Ron Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLMFAA1 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The one great blooper I liked from Adam 12 is the store owner and the customer arguing over a spoiled cantaloupe on the street corner and in the dialog the store owner gives a price for the cantaloupe higher than the price posted in the store window in the backround Great old cars in all the old Jack Webb shows, We need Joe Friday's fairlane. greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Like when they are wheeling around a few corner in a 68 Plymouth to chase someone and they pull to the curb with an AMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) They're also running Batman, which oddly features an early '60s gray-green Humber Super Snipe in many of the backlot street scenes - it gets on screen almost as much as the Batmobile. Sadly the problem with MeTV (and now IFC for us Batfans) is that the shows are all sped up in places to jam in more commercials; you especially notice when the music soundtracks are constantly changing in pitch, and some of the words sound clipped off. At least when the DVDs come out in November that won't matter. Edited September 4, 2014 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
