[@cf1934]

+Tonithenightowl I watched these as a young boy in the 40's. There were no TV'S in the 40's . We had to go to the movie theaters.

[@Tonithenightowl]

+clarence fender I hear you, all there was for home entertainment was the radio unless you owned a Victrola to play your 78 rpm records. However I do clearly remember when TV only had 3 stations and signed off at midnight. We went to the movies a lot as kids just to see movies in color. Kids today would think we're lying to them lol

[@aspenrebel]

NO TVs? Why didn't you go to the store and buy one? You had radio ..... "Who knows what lurks in the minds of men? .... The Shadow knows! ......." "Hey ya Andy! ...... Hey ya Amos!"

[@aspenrebel]

3 stations? Midnight? Color? Man you are young!! Or you had your grandmother playing on the harpsicord in the hall. That's why they had so many bars, vaudeville, burlesque, and strip clubs. I remember when, to make a phone call, you had to pull hard on the can and string!! Ha ha ha!! Hand crank that phone. Phones with NO numbers or even rotary on them. You picked up the receiver, and waited until the operator talked to you, then told her who you wanted to call.

[@Tonithenightowl]

Gee hon, I'm 63 but you remember far more from pre TV days than me lol You are an older geezer than me :o)

Love the Eastside Kids! Watched them on Saturday mornings as a child. Still enjoy them.

[@lisat9322]

Me too! Saturday mornings, if it was raining, it was Johnny Quest and in the afternoons it was The Three Stooges, Tarzan with Johnny Weismueller and The Bowery Boys. If it was nice out we spent the day outside recreating all the scenarios we'd seen on TV. Those were the days. Saturday nights it was Creature Feature and all the old black and white monster movies of the 50's and 60's. It was a kick seeing Bela Lugosi in this movie. Best Dracula ever.

[@32pacemaker]

Lisa T God do I remember toughs days, seems so long ago now. Sometimes I wish that I'd never grow up when I see my younger days like this.

[@lisat9322]

[@misskim2058]

One of my favorites! Love the East Side Kids! This and Spooks Run Wild are a tie for my favs! Just found them in the last 4 yrs or so. Don't even have TV anymore. Who needs it? The best has come and gone...too bad they didn't make even more. I have probably everything they made, including G-Man series, etc. Odd how they switched characters now and then with different actors, and rival gang member would be in their gang for an episode, but Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, and Sunshine Sammy Morrison were the best team. Love these guys!

I had a collection of movies on DVD of The East Side Kids and me and my ex girlfriend use to watch them all the time. She liked old movies just like me and a lot of our evenings where spent viewing old pictures anywhere from the forties to the nineties. But The East Side Kids where a classic show which was suitable for any occasion and for any kind of viewer and is entertaining without displaying indecent or immoral content.

[@robotnik77]

OK, everyone knows the young Ava Gardner is in this film, but there's another budding talent in The Park Central Hotel scene where Ava and her husband are checking in. He is credited by neither Wikipedia, nor by IMDB. Look at the bellboy in the background. It's the multi-talented Danny Kaye who got a chance as a bit player. Of course, he got better opportunities later. His appearance starts at 31:20, just after the shot of the hotel plaque. He even tries to get noticed by rolling his eyes and craning his neck a couple of times. A photo from the same period www.cbsnews.com/pictures/danny-kaye-at-100/2/
