Are there any tv shows you still like from your childhood…

@FreddieUK Yes, ‘corny’ was often heard here, too, describing the series, although it was great fun (Holy Tintinabulation, Batman !)

@Mesthartiya Like The Flinstones before it, Top Cat was based on a successful US sitcom.

Whereas Fred and Barney were the animated versions of Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, so TC and his gang were the feline equivalents of Sgt. Ernie Bilko and the gang of Fort Baxter. Like the Phil Silvers character, Top Cat was always wheeling, dealing and scheming, looking for a fast buck and hoping to hit 'the big one', much to the consternation of local neighbourhood cop Officer Dibble.

Arnold Stang supplied the Phil Silvers imitated voice for 'the indisputable leader of the gang', whilst Benny the Ball was voiced by none other than Private Duane Doberman himself, actor Maurice Gosfield. Other characters included Choo Choo, Spook, The Brain and Fancy Fancy. The series was renamed for British audiences to Boss Cat because there was a cat food called Top Cat on sale in the UK.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Fair enough :D

@TheSirfurryanimalWales I always wondered why we renamed it. It's taken some 60 years to find out. Thanks. 😂

@DrWatson There is that, but believe it or not, Ross Martin was more the "type" I tended to admire than Robert Conrad, although I realized the latter was attractive. 😊

@bijouxbroussard A friend and I used to take turns going to each other's house on Friday nights to watch TV. We both agreed that Artemis was the cooler one.

@LILY61 I must say that I have seen them all multiple times over. 🤣

That doesn't stop me from occasionally watching them though.

@DeWayfarer i was immersed in MASH.

@LILY61 I grew up with both shows and had no choice but to watch them both.

@SageWanderer All of those except Emergency are on my Pluto TV watchlist. 😃

@bijouxbroussard Emergency is watched just to note the changes in EMS over the years.

@beermeplease omg Pippy!!

@Jenny1234 I loved the Pippi Longstocking books as a child.

@bijouxbroussard I didn’t know there were books!

@FreddieUK He was my favorite Bond after Sean C.

@bijouxbroussard I think, but my memory may be playing tricks, that he was called to do the job earlier than he did, but was contracted elsewhere (RS?) and not available.

@FreddieUK Yes, that’s correct. When first approached he couldn’t get out of his RS contract.
