What about that awful thing with Patty Duke???

OK, now you're going TOO far. "A hot dog made her lose control" -- who can't sympathize with that?!

Me, it was awful awful awful, i saw one last week and could not believe I had ever been  dumb enough to actually like that show. I was in the first grade, which will remain my excuse.

LOL

I don't know what you two are referring to.  Do I want to?

Are you referring to The Parent Trap??

Here's a photo of one of my first celebrity crushes, way back in American Graffitti days:

We're talking about The Patty Duke show. I was making an allusion to one of the lines in its theme song:

Quote
Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Patty's only seen the sight.
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights --
What a crazy pair!

But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.

Where Cathy adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes her lose control --
What a wild duet!

Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike --

You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

I used to love that song, and sang it a lot.   ::)   It's great to see all the words.

I think some of us are nostalgic for the old, cold days when there were just three channels...

Oh, I lived in New York and we had lots and lots of channels:

Channel 2 -> CBS
Channel 4 -> NBC
Channel 5 -> WNEW...lots of kids shows, including Wonderama with Sonny Fox, and the Soupy Sales show. Also old movies.
Channel 7 -> ABC
Channel 9 -> WOR (I think). More old movies on this, including the Million Dollar Movie with theme from "Gone with the Wind." The Loretta Young show was here, too.
Channel 11 -> WPIX. More kids shows. I think this is where Diver Dan was (altho he might have been on channel 5). Popeye cartoons. This was also  the channel with the famous burning yule log on Christmas eve.
Channel 13 -> "educational TV." They used to show lots of movies from The National Flim Board of Canada.
