I remember a movie with Cary Grant called Topper. I just looked on IMDb and
saw that the TV show was from 1979. Are you talking about that show?
That's when I virtually stopped watching the tube for a few years. A-Team,
Barney Miller and Nero Wolfe was about all I watched. Of course any time
the President was on.

Me and my sister used to watch Decorating Crafts with Becky. I believe it was on Saturday afternoons. It had really cool music for the opening. We would run to TG&Y and buy a kit with spray glue and a packet of color foil. Then would proceed to foil everything in sight switchplates, picture frames, you name it we foiled it. My mother took it all in stride bless her heart. When my Mother passed away I found a gold foiled bust that I had given her for Christmas. I have it in my computer room and look it with much fondness.

My parents bought a new Sylvania "Big Screen" television when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. The set had a flourescent ring around the screen. Man I thought the theater had moved into the house....probably was a 24" screen with this lage halo around it... Did I mention there was only black/White T.V. then??? I do remember Ida B doing the first Live broadcast for color for channel 5 in 1964. The final count down everyone thought it would be her as she was doing all of the commentary and then 5 4 3 2 1 bingo...The American Flag....Old Red/White & Blue for all the world to see....
