Yep, used to watch that with my Dad who was a big western fan. The Virginian was another favourite.

+1 on Fireball XL5, great series. As a pre-pubescent kid I used to think Venus was really good looking! How weird is that :laughing-rolling:
I‘m sure the end theme tune/song was a hit for someone back then?
 
The Beverly Hillbillies Opening and Closing Theme 1962 - 1971

This'll get yer toes tapping

 
CHiPs Opening and Closing Theme 1977 - 1983.

They were not Harleys.

 
I dunno, maybe nostalgia is playing a major part here and the fact that when you‘re a kid you’re much more impressionable but the quality of programs back then seems higher than a lot of the digital sh**e we get fed today and I dont just mean the theme tunes or entertainment programs. Factual programs about current affairs like Man Alive, World in Action, This Week etc and the nature series “World About Us“ was another favourite in our house. Theres no doubt that advances in camera technology etc since then has certainly helped to make some incredible modern day natural history programs but every time I see some jobbing presenter filming another underwater ducumentory I can‘t help thinking Jacques Cousteau was doing this 50 years ago in his “Undersea World” programs, yet another brilliant series from my youth.
 
Flipper 1964 - 1967 Opening and Closing Theme

You can sing along to this, no one can hear you.

Just for you.

BTW he rediscovered the SS Thistlegorm in the Red Sea. Jacques Cousteau was a very, very interesting man, and a Hero of mine, his life story is fascinating, Lionel (Buster) Crabb is also a Hero of mine.
