   | This contest-theme predates MTV, Sesame Street and the NBC Peacock... Growing-up in the mid-1950's and 1960's, TV is a very large part of my childhood memories. TV programming ranged from "Mr. Ed" and "Twilight Zone" to Walter Cronkite's teary-eyed announcement following the Dallas assassination. It's not necessarily haiku of 17 syllables-or-less of 1960's TV shows required for this contest, but anything relating to the old black-and-white TV set at all, whether that be rabbit ears, the TV "snow," or those memorable commercials. If you are writing of a specific TV program/TV advertisement, please note the show/product in Author's Notes--Maybe it's one of those I remember too!!! THE RULES:  1. Two-entry limit per-person/Genuine AP personality only please. Haiku-chains are considered ONE entry, so feel free to post a second entry, even a second haiku-chain entry if you sochoose. 2. No bashing any other person by entry and/or commentary lest your "show" be cancelled without any chance of reruns! 3. As always, HAVE FUN!!!THE AWARDS-REWARDS:  TROPHY + 300 POINTS TROPHY + 200 POINTS TROPHY + 100 POINTS+ MANY  REWARDS TOO!!!So have fun and write a haiku memory-or-two of the good ol' days of black-and-white TV!

hmmm...You probably can't remember any of these shows cause while I was watching 'em:
Tishu jiggles antenna
on the icy roof pitch--
snow disappears!
It's OK if nothing comes to mind, Alan...I have you very much in mind for another haiku contest I'll be featuring soon, and there'll be no excuses!
