Buddy Ebsen was 6'3 in his prime. When Davy Crocket was on TV I thought he was a little guy because he would always be standing next to Fess Parker. Then I found out much later that Fess was a tad over 6'6 that made Buddy look short.

A little trivia for my RR lovers. The theme for the Sci-Fi tv show Lost In Space was written by a then unknown composer Johnny Williams. His name is in the end credits. He would later drop the N and Y and become a prolific movie soundtrack composer for blockbuster movies such as Superman, Star Wars, ET, Schindler's List, Raiders of the Lost Ark as well as many, many more.

Cars from the 60; s were the best cars ever. They had a style, not like the boxes we drive now. I Rember the rumor that Paul was dead. I have heard that The Beatles started it as an inside joke. Making references on their album covers. I remember there was an actual court case shown on tv as to whether or not Pual was dead. I watched that show. On The BEATLES white album, the song Revolution number 9 has cheers that go from block that kick to Paul is dead. You do not have to play it backwards; it is in the song on regular play if you listen close enough. My parents got me an Oliji Board for Christmas but made me follow the rules completely. Never do it alone. We would pack my brothers and sister and friends into the back of our station wagon. When I was 5, I had a batman costume, and I wore it all the time.

One was pink and the other black. It would be awesome if they still had them :)

I spent grammar school (elementary and jr. high) in the 1960s. By 1968, I needed to wear glasses. Popular glasses were "tortoise shell" or wire rims. Like bullet bras and fishnet stocking for 11 year olds (inappropriate), my mother somehow couldn't understand why I didn't want cat's eye glasses in aluminum blue.

When I was in middle school in the second half of the 1960s, "going steady" meant the boy giving the girl a St. Christopher medal to wear around her neck. An ant farm was my 6th grade science fair project. I had a tiki necklace, and my cat glasses frames were a hand-me-down from my older sister. (I didn't like them and hardly ever wore them.) No naps on the back deck; we had a station wagon. On one road trip our mother fixed up a bed for us in the back of the station wagon.

The Beatles started the whole long hair movement as peeps hair emulated the beatles, then hair just kept getting longer and longer...some peeps today still wearing long hair as a carry over from the 60s. Think about it...peeps were not wearing long hair since the 1800s and thats because lots of peeps had no access to a barber. By the turn of the century to the 1960s hardly no males were wearing long hair unless no access to a barber.

It all depends on the size of the glasses. I think anything oversized in glasses looks stupid, whether back then or now. The variety of eyeglass frames you can buy today is great, especially online. I own several pairs of cat eye frames that I get compliments on all the time, again, because they fit my face. I do wish I had my grandmother's gold ones she wore back in the early 60s. God knows they were probably better made and worth something.

I was born on 8/11/50, and I was just like many of my friends in that I heavily embraced the cowboy fad of the 50s. I had several rifles, six shooters, and the Have Gun Will Travel derringer belt buckle worn by Paladin in the series that was removable from the buckle. Toy makers did some crazy dangerous shit back then to make our weapons more realistic. The bullets used in some of our rifles and guns had plastic bullet heads that were spring loaded and would actually fire and hit the targets you aimed at. Cap guns were also big back then. You could buy em in red rolls and after loading them in your gun you could fire them until every you came to the end of the roll, and then it was time to "reload" your weapon. My favorite caps were Greenie Stik-M Caps. They were small circular green caps that you'd peel off your pack and stick to the end of your spring loaded bullets. You would then load them in the chamber of the gun, and when the hammer dropped on the cap the cap would fire off and the spring loaded bullet would then be fired from the barrel of your rifle or gun into your intended target. Which was often your best friends or sister face. I was hit in the face many times and even took a few shots to my eyes during my cowboy and indians days. Yes, we also had lethal looking bows and arrows that caused more than a little damage to us kiddies. Yes, we did some crazy shit back then, but we learned from the stupid mistakes we made and our parents weren't afraid to let us get down in the dirt-literally, and be kids, and have fun.

I wasn’t born until 1959. And I was a kid in the 60’s. Didn’t become teenager until 1972. My brother was born in 1956 so he missed all this stuff.

I remember the 'Paul is dead' rumor. It was kinda fun but my friends and I never took it seriously. There are folks out there that STILL believe he died but I'm NOT one of them It's UMpossible.

We had in our car what we called the way back. It was just a blanket over where the spare would be. I took naps when our Sunday rides where too long there.

I remember my mom told me she heard the news that interrupted her show during the night that Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash. Lots of kids in school were told that by their moms in November of 1966. By that afternoon, the news came out that he wasn't really dead.

Something young people today might never know is McDonald's deep-fried apple and cherry pies. Hotter than the sun inside, but delicious.

I love your content and material. I will have to point out though that cars in the 50s and 60s are much smaller than today. Look at an new Honda accord next to a 57 Chevy or pickup trucks.

Laugh- in was required watching in the late ‘ 60’s. Hip and topical at the time, but now awkwardly dated because of it. Lost In Space- I had a crush on Penny, if I had been a couple years older,it would have been Marta Kirsten. We had a 1960 Ford Skyliner convertible, and we’d sit on top of the back seat/ convertible top boot while Dad drove us around on nice summer evenings. A cop finally pulled us over one night. Dad played dumb. When I was 4 or 5, I got a Sheriff’s set with a double holster, TWO cap guns, a badge and cowboy hat. We played “bang bang you’re dead”. If you got shot, you must fall down. A kid down the block joined in one day. I shot him but he wouldn’t fall down. “Ha ha, you missed me” he’d say, even when I shot him point blank in the forehead. So I pushed the little prick down. Of course, it was me that got in trouble. Important early life lesson learned: not everyone plays fair.

It’s called a planchette: the ouija board ‘’thing-a-ma-jig’’ I’m trying not to visualize my great aunt (born in 1888) in a bullet bra lmao! I used to watch Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in with my mom when I was about 5 or 6…I didn’t get the joke, but they were sure having fun. Also watched Flip Wilson. He was way before his time!

My mother had black cat eye glasses. She had them in the 60’s and 70’s. I never heard of girls wearing dog collars on their legs. I heard of getting pinned but before my time. When I started going steady with my future husband in 1974 we wore the boys initial ring. Because they were big for the girl we wrapped yarn around the back of the ring. When you showed up wearing the guys ring that showed you were taken. Never ironed my hair. I would’ve been afraid of burning it. Loved watching the variety shows in the 60’s and 70’s. I miss that time. If I could teleport myself I would do the 50’s-70’s.

In the sixties it was a tradition in my neighborhood for little girls to get their hair pressed with a hot comb that was heated in the flames of a gas stove top burner. We would also get home permanents and get our hair put up in pink hair rollers.
