Watched two shows today that I have not seen since I was a young lad, FIREBALL XL5 and SUPERCAR! Amazing what you can find to watch on streaming tv, like Roku.

When Spectrum took over Time Warner and went digital we had to get a Roku unit for a TV in our bedroom. We have watched a few movies with it, but I will now have to "Shop" a few older TV Shows from my youth. "Sky King", Sea Hunt, "Roy Rogers", and of course "Lassie" come to mind from my Black and White youthful years in the 50s. I hope some of these pioneer U.S. TV shows have been preserved somewhere from MANY days gone by. Thanks for an idea for a rainy day search Bob, it sounds like pure Fun! Kwakers

I really liked Banana Splits with those buggys they drove, another show which I remember was the Double Deckers...how did 50 years go by so fast
