It may seem hard to believe, but this Tuesday, September 15th, marks the 50th anniversary of the premieres of the television shows Lost In Space and The Big Valley. Thursday, September 17th, is the 50th anniversary of the debut of The Wild Wild West. Last Thursday, September 10th, was the 60th anniversary of premiere of the television version of Gunsmoke, which was already a popular radio series.
It says much about the quality of these series that all of them are still being shown regularly in repeats here in the United States. May they always be so!

Not really, Moggy. One is about choice, the other not.

… that I would think most would then pay without objection…..:confused:
Most already do.
Odd how so many of the whingers* are prepared to pay multiples of the BBC’s sub-40p/day to the Dirty Digger.

LIS I watched when I came home from school
Thanks! Many people have similar memories. I saw Angela Cartwright (“Penny Robinson”) at a convention near Baltimore, Maryland, earlier this month. I didn’t get a chance to talk to her because there were plenty of fans gathered at her table.

Hi All,
Flying-A,
We could learn a lot from the yanks as far as Tv goes with how they repeat programmes over here, Lost In Space and Gunsmoke are the two I know in particular LIS I watched when I came home from school along with Land Of The Giants/Star Trek and some others. What I can never understand is why Aunty keeps the licence fee when it could so easily introduce adverts in between programmes keeping whatever programme uninterrupted, they could even have high end adverts if they are worried about dropping their alleged highbrow Tv standards.
They could even drop the Tv license down to a nominal fee that I would think most would then pay without objection…..:confused:
Geoff.
