IIRC the program sponsored by Boraxo was Death Valley Days. Don't remember who sponsored Wagon Train.
Member
Penny........The only reason I remember that one is that it was a trivia question on a local radio show a couple of years ago. You're right, his niece.

OK, so was Death Valley Days the one where Ronald Reagan introduced the show (and pitched 40 Mule Train Borax)? Or has my memory turned to mush?
Friend of the Creek
Yes, Ed--Reagan was on Death Valley Days - and it was "20 Mule Team Borax" -- that was before his days of GE Theater and pitching GE light bulbs.

-Watching my grandma get the chicken ready to fry at their farm..(very messy) but great chicken!
-watching my grandpa fix everything, "Don't need to spend good money on that"
-watching reruns of most of the shows others mentioned when TBS first aired, wasn't it WTBS then?
-learning to drive in a 2 ton dump truck
-gas was 79 cents when I started driving
-playing kick the can with neighborhood kids, outside after breakfast and home when street lights came on.
-having bb gun fights with my brother while wearing welding helmets so we wouldn't "shoot our eyes out"....parents still don't know how the windows kept getting broken.
-playing tackle football during recess in grade school, the nuns were great referees
-seeing classmates get slapped by nuns, sometimes bloody noses, but never doing what they got in trouble for again, ever!
-getting spanked in public and seeing others spanked, again not doing what I got in trouble for again, well...almost never

Oh...And "The Real McCoys"....eh little Luke?
