@RicardoB0617 @emmii_67 Color TV actually dates to the 50s…but it was mid to late 60s when it became much more affordable An widespread.

@EricBurrisWX We lived in Cape Coral at the time. As the storm was approaching, we had no power - so we were monitoring local meteorologists on the radio. One of them said “the time to protect your property is over. Now it’s time to protect your life.” That’s when we knew it was real.

@Bethareenibeani @TheCinesthetic Yeah, the Wonder Years was supposed to go one more season, but the network surprisingly pulled the plug early…so the producers had to scramble at the last minute to give it some kind of ending. (at least they didn‘t leave it hanging.)

@BBGreatMoments Under this plan, the American League and National League mean nothing. If you’re going to make so many changes, why not just go for an East-West split? (Hopefully, this is just somebody spit-balling a poor idea and nothing more!)

@ronsterd89 Not banned. Played a bunch. It hit number 3 on Billboard. Was a big novelty hit.

@navillus126 @ClistonBrown Definitely agree with Wilson. He was incapacitated for the last year-and-a-half of his presidency, with his wife running the country.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Interestingly, when you read about them, they both influenced each other. When Dylan went “electric” - part of the reason was the Beatles. At the same time, when Lennon and McCartney started writing deeper lyrics, it was their fascination with Dylan.

@MarioNawfal There is an expressway under construction near the Orlando area where they are going to test the technology. So it could be a real thing - but no telling if it will actually be practical.

@AVerySmallWorld @broadwaybabyto It’s a medical condition that affects the vocal cords. It surfaced about 20 years or so ago. Unfortunately, not much you can do about it.

@aytoozeeusa @hoodfarquaad They didn’t. Miami-Dade county has a rail system, but it is not underground.

@lancecheek Sure, it’s easy to dismiss these songs today. But every single one was a huge hit. (Most reached number one). So the worst? No. Maybe the ones you never care to hear again? Probably.

@AlecLace Here in Central Florida, this morning most stations I passed had dropped price by about 20 to 25 cents per gallon. (hopefully a good omen.)

@MarthaH49758600 @CailinasEirinn @FoxNews This is true. The FCC has very limited jurisdiction over cable television (channels like CNN, MSNBC, FNC, etc.) Their purpose is to provide regulation for over-the-air broadcast channels. (That’s where things like equal time rules come into play.)

[Rick Peterson @rickp1101]

@NewDrewAnon @historyinmemes Yes, color film existed well before this. But color TV started arriving in force in the late 50s and into the 60s. This was simply an example of one local station making the switch in 1967.

@punt_rd Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters from That Thing You Do. A fake band playing a fake band!
