Jacks, marbles, kick the can, paper dolls for the girls, plastic soldiers, 45 rpms, Mr. Potatohead with real potatoes are just a few I could think of. Maybe more and will come back to add to the list. I loved slinky especially at my aunts house. She had the steepest stairs I had ever known. When my brother came home from the military, he bought a Magic 8 Ball. Don't forget about the board/card games. Such simple fun. My gosh I better stop. Making me homesick for yesteryear.

I had fun in a cardboard box. I'd lay it on the ground sideways, get inside with rocks and dirt clods for ammo, and it became a tank by crawling on my hands and knees. Haha

Fixing up used/junkyard wrecks and cruising the Main Street on Friday/Saturday night. T-shirt and jeans, and a pack of Luckys rolled in your sleeve. Nice one, thanks again.

I'd miss the heck outta my cell phone, but I'd love to go back to the 50's. I miss it!

Miss drive-in theaters.

The Mickey Mouse Club, Highway Patrol, Dragnet, Medic, other tv shows. I learned how to spell “Encyclopedia “from watching Mickey Mouse.

Don't forget Howdy Doody with Buffalo Bob Smith,; and Mr Wizard (a science show)

@@jbmbryant Ding Dong School, Romper Room, The Millionaire. When I was little I didn’t know that The Millionaire was just a story. I thought he was a real person who would someday come to my house and give my folks a million dollars. I was disappointed when he never showed up. 😪 Also Pinky Lee. Eddie Fisher had a 15 minute show in the early evening. John Cameron Swayze and his Camel News Caravan. The Dinah Shore Chevy Show. And Tennessee Ernie Ford. Lots of soap operas in the day time. Arthur Godfrey who had a show that was simultaneously broadcast on CBS Tv and CBS Radio. Monitor on nbc radio on the weekends.

Great video. Really takes me back. Jitterbug was in the 40s, however. I was young but I do remember it. Went along with the big bands. Eveything else is right on target.

Great way to open an episode...bullet bras...😛

As a kid I watched a kiddie show on WOC Davenport Iowa. It had a host named Wes Holly. When Buddy Holly was killed, many fans of WOC TV misunderstood the news and thought that Wes Holly was killed. The station’s switch board was inundated with calls offering condolences about the supposed death of Wes Holly. Buddy and Wes were not even related. The following day Wes Holly was on the air and quite alive and well!

The Beatniks were actually poseurs who dressed in ways they thought were rebellious. In reality, the Beats who inspired them, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, etc. (shown in a few of your photos), dressed pretty much like average people of that era. Also, most Beats were relatively clean-shaven, and those who grew beards tended to do so later in life. As for berets, that fad was based on jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, who became renowned for frequently wearing them.

We should all bring them back a simpler time

Aside from the bouffant skirts, women sometimes wore "bubble skirts" too, which were the same thing all gathered around the hemline! There was a very brief and not too popular look in the late 50s of "sack" or "bag" dresses that were all shapesless and hung on the body like those prototype gag dresses Lucy and Ethel were tricked into wearing in Paris! Haha! Looney Tunes even made a joke about it in one cartoon where the man sees them on mannequins and pretty much says "Ughhh!"

I would have loved to have grown up in the 50’s-60’s!

I love your videos...but my OCD clicks in when you use late 1960s or even 1970s images in your 1950s themed videos....not to mention modern images. It kind of ruins it for me in my daydream :)

My mom was born in the 1950s

Why would you put regular food in jello? Why would you put anything that's not fruit in jello? Unless this is war and this is the only way to preserve it why would you even think about doing something so disgusting?!
