Does Brown care about women's hockey?

("F Troop" by Irving Taylor and William Lava) - F Troop Lyrics

...
Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin'
Where pale face and redskin
Both turn chicken.

When killing and fighting get them down,
They know their morale can't droop.
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom
F Troop.

What are the odds those lyrics are PC enough to play in public anymore:rolleyes:

To your warped mind, maybe. Remember, it was a kid's show.

Hey, I'm just saying.

In the Speed Racer cartoons they had Speed and Chim Chim meet up with Princess Yoni as they traversed India. Google that and tell me it was accidental on the writers part. ;)

Yeah .... A kids show ....That's the ticket! ;)

OK, how about the father of Vampire shows, "Dark Shadows"? (Getting away from the comedies and tying into a current fad)
 
Re: Does Brown care about women's hockey?

And to all the Canadian readers.. how about "The Friendly Giant" which ran from *58' to 85' on the CBC National Network.

"Look up, look waaaaay up..."

"Wait a minute and I'll call Rusty..."

This 15 minute show originally began on WHA-TV in Madison Wis. in 1953 and ran till 1958. It was then picked up by the CBC and ran each weekday for 27 years. It was a classic!

Any of you out there watch it on WHA-TV? :D

H.R. Puffnstuff. A very psychedelic show. The writers had to be on something more than caffeine to come up with that show.

Along the same time was the Bananasplits

Claims of drug references
The Krofft brothers have responded in several interviews to popular beliefs that subtle drug references existed in the show.[9][10][11] For example, the title character's name "Pufnstuf" has been interpreted as a reference to smoking hand-rolled (H.R.) marijuana (puffin' stuff)[9][10][11][12][13][14] — Marty Krofft has said the initials "H.R." actually stand for "Royal Highness" backwards[13][14] — and the show's theme-song lyric "he can't do a little, 'cause he can't do enough" has been read as referring to the addictive nature of drugs. Pufnstuf has quotes like "Whoa dude!" and other "hippie" slang words. Lennie Weinrib, the show's head writer and the voice of Pufnstuf, has said, "I think fans gave it a kind of mysterious code-like meaning, like ‘Ah, was Pufnstuf puffing stuff? Like grass?’ Was it psychedelic? Was it drug oriented? Not to us, it wasn’t."[15][16] In one 2000 interview, Marty Krofft answered the question by saying, "The Krofft look has a lot of color, but there were no drug connotations in the show," and he addressed the topic at length in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2004, in response to the question, "OK, let's get this right out in the open. Is 'H.R. Pufnstuf' just one giant drug reference?":

Thanks for the history lesson. I was joking about the writers, but that show was pretty way out there, I thought that even as a kid before I even knew drugs existed
 
Re: Does Brown care about women's hockey?

I remember loving Hogan's Hero's with Bob Crane as Col. Hogan, vs. the none-too-bright Col. Klink and Sargeant "I know noth-ink" Schulz.

I had no idea at all at that age what the swastika was supposed to represent, just that it was shown all over the place in my favourite show. One memory I will never forget was that one day during art class (probably kindergarten) I innocently decided to copy one from the show for my fingerpainting, and was mortified when my teacher suddenly freaked out on me, took away my painting and explained that I should never do that ever again. :eek::o
