I remember as a child that all the really cool TV programs would come on a little later in the evening. Twlight Zone, Have Gun Will Travel etc...it was always a fight to stay up and see the endings. So maybe flexibilty is the best policy, as the value of the experience is worth the effort.

It was generally to bed by 9 pm and on Friday and Saturday I could stay up late...I remember watching Friday night fights and the old Repblic Westerns on KTLA..channel 5...in LA. And the orginal Tonight Show with Steve Allen...I remember being 3/4 asleep watching Bill Cosby the FIRST time he ever appeared on the Tonight Show with Steve Allen as host...I couldn't stop laughing....also the first time Richard Pryor came on... on Saturday at 10 PM Have Gun Will Travel with Richard Boone...

When I was very young I remember seeing Some Like It Hot in the movie theaters, I remember that it was so funny, I also remember The Viking (K Douglas & T Curtis), Night Passage (Stewart, Audy Murphy), Paths of Glory (Kubrick) and a whole host of other adult themed movies...the only movie that Mother and Daddy wouldn't take me to see was The Days of Wine and Roses, they thought that a little to intense for a 7 year old. Of course Old Yeller was a fav....later Swiss Family Robinson..The movie that absolute made me roll on the floor was Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World....
