I was born 1.30.53 & remember very well all the shows mentioned...what happened to those wonderful days of "clean" TV. I remember we didn't have centeral heat & air & loved playing outside all day long & ridinh horses. We did have a water cooler that I would go out & wet down with the water hose when it started blowing hot air!!! ~Jan Carver 2006-05-14 16:54:07Dan D. Dynamo was at the Red Bud Supermarket on east Flynn where Marshall Funeral Home is now. I got his autograph there in the 50's. They also had a large hoola hoop contest in the parking lot there. Speaking of kids shows does anyone remember the Popeye cartoon show starring the captain of the good ship "K-George" (KGEO)broadcast from Enid in the 50's? ~Edward Lyon 2006-05-13 18:44:49
The Foreman Scotty Show and 3-D Danny were favorites of mine growing up in the 50's in Helena (Alfalfa County), Oklahoma. The Helena kids were all so excited when 3-D Danny and another character, Hog Waller, appeared at the Helena Fair one year in the 50's as part of our Saturday evening entertainment, along with WKY Radio Disc Jockey Dale Webha. Danny was also the early morning Disc Jockey at WKY and mom would turn up the kitchen radio very loud at 7 AM weekdays as Danny was proclaiming he was the "Rockin' Bird" and it was time to "rise and shine". This was our wake up call to get up and come to breakfast so we could get ready for school. We also looked forward each Saturday night @ 10:30 PM to watch Danny Williams on Channel 4's Championship Wrestling. My grandpa (Glenn Dague), who lived next door, just made sure we were up early for Sunday School the next morning if we did stay up late. For the past several years, Danny was my clock radio wake up call on KOMA radio, the other favorite Oklahoma radio station from the 50's. Now, 50 years later, Danny doesn't get up early enough for my 4:30 AM alarm, but I still listen to him today on KOMA radio during my morning commute to work each day in OKC @ 5:30 AM. I can even listen to DJ Ronnie Kaye on KOMA and my favorite golden oldies on the drive home, and remember the fun we had at the sock hop dances Ronnie hosted in the 60's. Thanks to Danny and Ronnie still hanging around playing my favorite tunes of the 50's and 60's, I don't feel "quite" so old. They help keep the wonderful memories of growing up in rural Northwest Oklahoma fresh in my mind. ~Beverly Couch 2006-05-13 16:17:50
