What gives? No Rover hovering around the dinner table?? Daaaaaad, he's on his way to Mars. It's only the biggest story of the year. Why, even Walter Cronkite let off the evening news with it. Walter Cronkite? Well, I assume he did- I was busy monitoring Rover's flight operations at the time. Oh, really now? Yep. And that's the way it is.

That famous closing statement each evening…“and that’s the way it is” No one can fill Walter Cronkite’s evening news delivery. More important – Come back, ROVER! Get off Mars!
LOVE & HUGS TO DEAREST RED & ROVER

I’m worried about Rover in that taped shut box. No air, food or water.

Rover missing dinner ought to be a news flash in itself.

Love the Walter Cronkite, “the most trusted man in America” reference and the phrase he used to end all news broacasts.

Poor Rover is locked in a box in the backyard. Poor little guy! Shame on you Red. What would be really cool would be if Martin would go let him out of the box! :-)

I didn’t watch Cronkite. I watched the other guys on NBC.“Good night David”“Good night Chet”….(music plays and credits roll)

There is not tape on the box. not to worry. Rover has to be able to open the box when he gets to Mars so he can get out and “rove”. So guess who gets to decide when he has reached Mars? ROVER!

It’s on TVLAND and I think on ‘INSP’ too. Gunsmoke I think is still on TVLAND. Still watch both when I can!

tcar-1 and the Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Andy Griffith Show, Leave It To Beaver, The Flintstones, The Rebel, Cheyenne, Rawhide, 77 Sunset Strip, The Jackie Gleason Show, Profiles in Courage, etc, etc
And as for the Ed Sullivan Show, I can remember the night the Beatles made their debut in America! The next day at Catholic school, my friends and I were all out on the playground at recess and talking about the Ed Sullivan Show and picking which Beatle we liked the best! We were SWOONING 10 year olds at the time! :-D Oh the good old days!
