I thought he was quite entertaining. I guess I'm simple minded.
During that time, I was constantly involved in some sort of project, and didn't sit still much for any TV program. With what is on TV today, I think he would probably be a big hit!
Ha! I LOVED him. He was SO entertaining.
Old enough to remember? Hell's bells.....I remember...
Only having 3 stations to watch (in Puerto Rico we just had one - 6:00 am to 6:00 pm (Spanish) 6:00 pm to 12:00 pm (English)
Wrapping rabbit ears in tin foil for better reception
Having a human chain when dad was on the roof adjusting the antenna....usually, mom, my brother and I was the one yelling at dad on which way to turn the darn thing.
My brother and I being the two legged "remote control"
I remember how excited I was when we were able to get a UHF station from L.A. (fuzzy as heck too)
