They were commonly referred to as variety shows. Sunday night was The Ed Sullivan Show. Then there was Don Ameche's International Showtime featuring circuses from around the world. Those were the days when you could safely watch TV with your family and not have to be embarrassed over something stated, performed, or implied; all TV shows were rated "G." So, come on...list your favorites! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Ahh, yes...Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. I still remember the opening theme song. The world is a carousel of color, Wonderful, wonderful color. The world is a carousel of color, History, comedy, fantasy, There's drama and mirth, There's old mother earth With all of her secrets to see. The world is a treasure-trove of faces, Fabulous, faraway places. The hopes and the fears, The joys and the tears Of people like you and like me. The kingdoms of magic science, The glorious story of art, The world of romance, Of music and dance, This world where we each play a part. The miracle of imagination, The marvels of earth, sea and sky, These wonders untold Are ours to behold In the funny world, The sunny world, The wonderful world of color.
