drifting through high school, working at a local hamburger drive thru,smoking way too many legal and illegal substances, and wondering what it's all about.
Like Tom I was at church that evening when it happened. I found out it had happened when I got home. Does anyone know when it happened? I'm thinking it was about 8 O'clock Central time. I wasn't quite 17 and still required to attend Sunday night church activities. Man was I ticked off!! I had missed it! I fully realized the magnitude of the achievement.
Teenagers today? Very hard to impress. I have three.
I seem to recall sitting in the living room with my Dad, watching the landing in the afternoon. Wikipedia gives the time of the landing as 20:17 UTC, which, I believe, is 2:17 PM Central.
Maybe Sudo's MORNING church service ran into the afternoon?
I'll be the first to admit our memories are not always accurate. Fer instance a lot of us think of the "good 'ole days" as being a lot better than they actually were but... my memory sez that I got home from church after dark and it had just happened like an hour before. Anybody remember it differently?
sudo (at least remembers his own name.... for now)
the actors in the first group played the same character they replaced
Noel Neill replaced Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane (Though Noel had already played Lois in 2 Superman serials) and the pic is from her cameo in the Chris Reeve Superman movie
I'm embaressed to admit I don't remember the second name (Lori Saunders ?) but she loks like one of the Petticoat Junction Jo's.
Dick Sargeant lamely replaced Dick York as Darrin on Bewitched
I'm really perplexed on who the next guy is
Meredith MaCrae replaced whats her name (Gunilla Hutton?) as the blonde Jo on Petticoat Junction (you can tell I don't know my Petticoat Junctions
the second group replaced characters with new characters
I don't know why I can't place the first sultry blonde
June Lockhart replaced Bea Benederet on Petticoat Junction, though the pic is from 'Lost in Space' Bea Benederet was 'Kate' and June was a Dr something
June Lockhart also replaced Cloris leachman on "Lassie" as Timmy's mother
William Demerest as 'Uncle Charly" replaced William Frawley as 'Bub" on 'My 3 Sons"
Barry Livingston as "Ernie" replaced Tim Considine as "Mike" on "My 3 Sons"
Ken Berry as "Sam" replaced Andy Griffith as 'Andy"-though technically it was the whole show that was replaced as the 'Andy Griffith Show' became 'Mayberry RFD'
Seems we have a long time Greasespot poster who sez he's leaving us for better pastures. But every time I've seen his posts I can't help but think about this song.. Click HERE! and name the year it came out.. or what TV series the singer was in or who her co-stars were. Maybe this is a bit ahead of some of yous.. :).
I remember it because the girls at Rainbow skating rink played it over and over on the juke box (anyone remember those? Do they still exist?) on Saturday mornings and afternoons. Ah! I was so in love with those girls but didn't dare tell them for fear of being rejected. They would be close to 60 years old today.
I remember it because my best friend at the time had an older brother named Johnny that I swooned for. But I was his little sisters friend and like the song says and he doesn't even know that I exist. But she also had a precious horse that we rode together as often as we could and soon my love of that horse won over the one for Johnny.
I know the song was probably somewhere in the early 60's. And they now have a air freshener with a name similar to this singers last name.
the tv series the singer was in ? Let's just say it featured "the Stones" long before Mick Jagger
Her mother in the show would say it's a wonderful life. Her father would later be a tv lawyer. Her brother was a former Mouseketeer, and when the singer left the show, they brought in his real life little sister to take her place.
I never quite figured that show out. I watched it for years without thinking it very funny, nor really liking the characters that much. But I watched it every friggin Wednesday night.

On a completely different note, what do the following people have in common?
And how are they different from this group?

most of those people took the place of other actors on tv series, but I don't know if that's what you're going for.

They ALL took the place of other actors on their shows, but what's the difference between the two groups?

it just occurred to me that the blonde could be Cheryl Ladd who replaced Farrah Fawcett on Charlies Angels-one of many replacements

I figured that Hiway would get these.
To fill in the blanks:
Lori Saunders replaced Pat Woodell as Bobbie Jo.
Jeff Perry replaced John Billingsley as Lawrence Steadman on "Prison Break."
Jenilee Harrison as "Cindy" replaced Suzanne Somers as "Chrissy" on "Three's Company."
(I was going to use a "Charlie's Angels" pic, but forgot to.)
The Ken Berry one was a bit of a stretch, but Andy Griffith did appear as Andy Taylor on the first few episodes of "Mayberry RFD."
Good work, Hiway!

I couldn't have connected that Jenilee Harrison pic with her 3's Company character-and I've never seen her in anything else
and I never saw 'Prison Break'
that was fun
