Ah, 1960. When life was simple, father knew best, and Bugs Bunny had a show in primetime.....

- I hope ''The Bat'' had flight insurance......

1. I remember that Bugs Bunny show. It showed the same cartoons they still show today.

Alfred Hitchcock is still worth watching.

Westerns were huge at that time, and mostly sponsored by cigarette companies, who used them to tie smoking to masculinity (remember the Marlboro Man?).

2. I remember several of these shows from the later '60s

The Rifleman, The Red Skelton Show, Bugs Bunny, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Father Knows Best, Doby Gillis, Laramie

3. In the early '50s my dad's car had orange crates for rear seating

And I wore a fringed Davy Crockett shirt and coonskin hat .

In the '60s I was riding my bike down the street when a motorcade happened to pass. The news that night said it was Kennedy taking Khruschev to Disneyland.

And the Beav rules!

4. I was more Johnny Stacatto or Richard Diamond.....

...than Daniel Boone, but I was there. Here I am (1959) in my favored couch viewing spot which I coveted when allowed to actually sit there. Being the caboose of the family, I tended to end up on the floor during primetime:

5. There were cars with fins

We had a big Dodge that was mostly light green, with a section of dark green striping. And big light green fins. It looked weird even back then.

7. My mother had a '59 Cadillac with the big fins.

I took my driving test in it and failed the parallel parking because I couldn't see past the fins in the back. Fortunately, the examiner agreed and passed me.

6. Dobie Gillis! I remember that one! n/t

9. That's one of the best shows ever!

It's a lot smarter than most of what's on now. I wish the local "retro" channel would run it at a better time than 5:00 on Saturday mornings.

10. And Maynard G. Crebbs, beatnik. AKA 'Gilligan'.

8. Reminds me of Sivad.

That's "Davis" spelled backward.
