Also a lot of you zoomers don't know, but many gen X and Millennials knew about shows from the 50s and 60s cause all the way to the late 90s and early 2000s a lot of them old 50s and 60s shows were shown in syndication.

So you could be a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s and know all the characters on a 50s show like honey mooners or I love Lucy cause it was shown in syndication. Or know shows from the 60s and even early 70s. Syndication TV was huge back then before all these cable shows just started to show movies and reality tv shows to fill in time slots.

Heck of a flash back. Man every 80s and 90s kid either had a mom, aunt or grandmother or great grandmother who use to watch this show. Either in prime time or syndication.

And the intro was fire. I remember hearing that music and knowing it was time for bed...
