38!

Oh, the memories. Creature Double Feature and Abbot and Costello on Saturday's - 38 was my go-to as a kid.

I think the Ghoul was on Channel 56

Yeah I think the CDF might've been on channel 56, but I don't remember watching it much because my brother & I would watch Candlepin Bowling with Don Gillis on channel 5 with our dad, and they might've been running at the same time...?

You may be right. So many years ago.

We were spoiled with Gil. And Gino.

I said the exact same thing.

Creature Double Feature, The 3 Stooges and wrestling (or was that 56)…them the days.

I am leaning towards 56 now that the memory anagrams have woken a little.

Ok ... too much time on my hands, but the nostalgia bug really dug in ...

The Creature Double Feature Movie Guide

The Creature Double Feature, on WLVI channel 56 out of Boston, was one of my favorite shows growing up (see my original post HERE). It ran from 1975 until 1984, offering some of the greatest monste…

Well, I can tell you. Back then, watching the moving talkies on the family console, we had a small selection of channels, or shows. That's what we called them - shows - seeing as they showed you instead of telling you. Except for that damn idiot on the news.. None of the new fangled internalnet thing you younguns bury your faces in. Two dials, hundreds of combinations, but only 5 or 6 would work. Yup, dials. We got up and changed the show, d%#*!@t. We didn't have no battery eating contraption to do it for us. No cable or such. As was the custom of the time, one of us kids was responsible for the dials, and one was responsible for rotating the antenna up on the roof. Storming? Go turn the damn antenna! The game is on! Made us tougher, and we learnt about signals and reception and all that. Even our entertainment was productive!

Young folks nowadays, with their on-demand this an streaming that! Streaming was when us kids would go swimming, or fishing, or paper boat races - actual real activity. Probably kill you all now.

Wrestling was on both channels: It was 38 I believe that had All-Star Wrestling from Hamburg PA with ring announcer Joe McHugh; while 56 had Championship Wrestling from Philadelphia then Allentown PA with ring announcer Buddy Wagner... And both programs were called by Vince Junior as a total babyface PbP broadcaster... I think they were on back-to-back in Boston, so when the first one ended on one channel the second one began on the other... Dam I miss the 1970s...

Congratulations. We have successfully turned this post into a Zo/Bertrand production by talking about something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, football.

It's incredibly tough for young people today (I'm of your gen - turned 60 in January).

They're inundated with technology and social pressure is unhealthily intensified.

It's true, making do with what we have is much better than being saturated with too many options.

Maybe talking about what clowns Zolak & that slob are is too depressing...
