Never mind Curly, Moe and Larry. The teachers today wouldn't even know George Jetson from Fred Flinstone. Yea, I was born in the 50s.

And I bet you don't know who Benson Boone is either.
That's kind of how people grow up, they know what they grow up with. I've never seen a Groucho Marx film and don't care to, he died right after I was born. But I do know who he is/was..... |

That is true. That's why folks younger than me in their 20's and 30's don't know anything about early Fords. However, I think most folks should know the Three Stooges??

When my older brother and I were kids we always waited for the newspaper to get to our house. Our favorite was the Katzenjammer Kids. Twin brothers and always up to mischief. My most vivid memory of them was Les and I laughing when the Katzenjammer Kids were going to have "door knobs" for dessert! We thought it was so funny and probably why it has stuck with me from the late 40's or early 50's. Boy, have we ever stolen this thread! haha

I do, because they were constantly on rerun as a kid, back when we only had five channels of tv. They were in black and white.
I don't see anything relating to the three stooges anymore, can't recall the last time I saw anything relating to them. I'm not at all surprised kids don't know about them these days. |

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were very good at destroying old "T" Fords, and
we laughed like heck when they did it too ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, I still miss Ma and Pa Kettle and their corny humor. ![]() .

Amos and Andy was some of the best comedy. The Kingfish was always up to something especially when his mother-in-law came to visit. You can still find it on You Tube.

Most younger generations can't even stand to watch anything in black & white. Forget about watching an older movie or anything of that nature....they'll just laugh and roll their eyes.
While I grew up in the '70s, I still loved watching the older stuff. I still do. Heck, I still love listening to old radio programs like Jack Benny. That sort of humor is lost on younger people. It's not vulgar enough I guess. Interior fabrics put a halt to my '37 project. I had gathered pretty much everything else I needed, but availability is pretty much a no-go, and cost is just astronomical for something even similar. I can do pretty much everything else myself, but I can't make fabrics. ![]() |
