I can think of "The Many Loves of Dobbie Gillis" and "Gilligan's Island", but I'm stumped on the other two.

Here's a show I loved to watch when I was in 8th and 9th grade. My folks thought it was smutty. That made it better.

My kid liked to listen to "Love Line" on the radio when he was about 13. I didn't like it. I think he'd tell you that made it better.

I remember working on our dairy farm, riding to the barn on top of the loads of hay, driving tractor to bale hay for the first time when I was 8, bringing the cows to the barn with out dog Pal who was a great woodchuck dog (we got one almost every day). Later on when I got a 22 spending hours shooting chucks and things. Spent hours in the sugerbush gathering sap then sittng in the sugerhouse with my dad boiling it to maple syrup. I rember my dad almst dead after a farm accident and the miricle of his suvival. The peace marches on washington, equal rights marches on washinton. JFK got shot so did MLK and a lot of others. Friends got drafted and went to Vetnam and came back diffrent. Nixon resigned, gas got expensive, party hardy was the moto and though it all I never got the mini bike I wanted. Mom said they were too dangerous.
