I never missed Emergency.  I wanted to be Johnny Gage so bad.  So bad, I cracked my head open pretending to be a paramedic.  And then, I had to GO to Emergency.   :lmao:


I didn't want to be Johnny Gage....I wanted Johnny Gage!  :naughty:

Little Fun Fact: Universal City (which includes the Universal Studios lot) is so big, it has it's own L.A. Fire Department squad which is, of course, officially designated as "Squad 51."  :-)

Wasn't the least bit of "white guilt" about it.

I was about 19 when I first saw him....he was hot and sexy!

Now,  he's still hot and sexy..... :naughty:

I watched Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Petticoat Junction in real-time, back in the 60's.

Worst part of it all, is the theme songs would get stuck in your head. Then, fast-forward ten years, I am suffering in a LONG line at the grocery story, my mind drifts, and out bursts "Greeeen Acres is the place to be, Faaaarm Livin' is the life for me".

Yes, I got the looks but warned I had the theme from Beverly Hillbillies in the queue.

I watched this show all the time as a kid.  Funny thing just the other day me and my gf were driving back from vacation and I brought this show up.  We were driving late and looking for silly song lyrics to keep our energy up and then I brought up the bit about Mr. Douglas having a specific suit for each farm chore.

That is just the way farming should be.

Well, I'm trying to figure out if I could incorporate a figure much like Mr. Haney from Green Acres into my upcoming novel about the life and loves of Mrs. Alfred Packer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Haney_%28Green_Acres%29
I remember the farm house Haney sold was made out of gofer wood, which was very porous in the summer time and had a key hole to close off the holes in the winter time but it made it nearly impossible to paint the farm house.

Oh SNAP!!! Me too!!!!! I used to imagine those three little darlins in th'altogether..  :evillaugh:

I wasn't a huge fan of any of those, mainly because I was subjected to this insidious little form of torture each week...

Well, he did always have pots-n-pans for sale hanging off the side of his "truck".

Think of a six year-old with five dollars in their pocket and the ice cream truck pulls into their own driveway.
