M-Squad 1965

Lee Marvin was excellent as Lt. Frank Ballinger in this police drama. This ad is from October 1965.

Wanted Dead or Alive 1964

The 'King of cool", Steve McQueen, starred as Josh Randall in Wanted Dead or Alive. We were lucky here in the Piedmont Golden Triangle viewing area. Channel 12 carried many great TV series in the afternoon and early evening, after their original network runs. This ad is from December 1964.

Cheyenne 1966

Warner Bros. Studios produced a bunch of TV westerns. Cheyenne was one of my favorites with Clint Walker starring as Cheyenne Bodie. This ad is from January 1966.

The Texan 1968

This ad is from October 2,1968. Timeless Media has released 70 episodes of this series in a 10 disc DVD set. I would rate this set as very good.When the credits roll at the end, some of the episodes have the original sponsor image intact, such as Viceroy cigarettes and Praise soap. Generally, it is those episodes that are the sharpest. When the show went into syndication, the sponsor image was replaced by the state of Texas. Which brings up another point. Timeless Media says that the show had not been seen since being re-run on the ABC network in 1962. That was not the case here in North Carolina. The show aired here in reruns each Wednesday night from early 1966 until the spring of 1969. Within that same timeframe the show also ran Monday through Friday on WNBE in New Bern,NC. The last confirmation I have for the show airing in Winston-Salem is on Saturday afternoons in 1970. It is hard to imagine that North Carolina was the only area that got the show in syndication.

Superman 1962

This is the front and back cover of Superman #157 with a cover date of November 1962.

Adventures of Superman

I have always been a huge fan of the Superman TV series starring George Reeves.These trading cards were produced by the Topps Company in 1965. You got five cards and a stick of gum for a nickel. Those were the days.

Yogi Bear Mug & Cereal Bowl

This is the inside cover of the Cheyenne comic. Yes, I did have a set of these. I loved getting those cereal premiums in the mail.
