A series that was never shown in Germany. Presumably a flying nun was not serious enough for the German television stations . But the purchasing policy of the German TV stations in the 50s to 70s was very strange in general.

ABSOLUTELY true! the TV show, "The Flying Nun" was far too stupid for ANY country's TV fare. But, certainly for education-minded Deutschland. But then, they think Willy Milowich is funny! So, there is no accounting for taste. Yes, The German censors and TV policy-makers have loosened up some over the last 40 years.

Okay, I was trying to hold out - so as not to embarrass myself - but my favourite song is this:

I bought the original Martian Hop when it was first out. It came with a picture cover.

Here is an "unknown" song (in German and Ethiopian) by the Austrian All-Star Band from the 'Live Aid Concert', the appearance was switched on from Austria worldwide via all civil satellites.

It is December, the 1st, the Christmas month begins.

I think, this is a good opportunity for modern and classic Christmas carols. I'm starting with a modern classic.

Enjoy.

Well, Comickraut, you've done us all a favour with Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Fair chhers me up at least.

As for Noddy & co. gie'in it laldy, as we might say up here, not so sure. Every year in it seems like every shop, we get Christmas Slade. After years and years of it everywhere at this time of year it sort of wears you down.

As I've been a bit down this week, I've been digging back to some lovely quiet tracks from Guy Clark; Townes Van Zandt, Dave Alvin and more. Have a listen:-

@ paw broon

Oh Oh Oh, I'm irritated, that's because of my knowledge of English, the google translator and my naivete

. Okay, nobody likes 'Last Christmas' from 'Wham', hahahaha

, but I thought, everyone likes Slade's 'Merry Christmas'. I am very surprised that this is not the case. How can you not love Slade? I'm confused, but also amused, of course, hahaha.

Fairport Convention - Wonderfull - I am a fan, of course.

Border Radio - It's completely new for me, thanks for this.

Guy Clarke - It's completely new for me, thanks for this.

Townes van Zandt - I am speechless, sometimes I thought, that I was the only person in the world, who knew him. Such a sad life

. Years ago, on a sleepless night, I saw a documentary on TV about Townes (with German subtitles) "Be Here To Love Me". I've been a Townes fan ever since.

Thanks for this, you know, that I am a fan of the good old music.

Can I assume that you like the wonderful Doris?

My favorite film is "The Time Machine" from 1960, with Rod Taylor.

In an other film, you can see Rod Taylor and the wonderful Doris Day together.

He looks a bit scruffy to be a Canadian!

But, he's got a great voice. I would have guessed that was an R&B song from 1959.

I like Doris' "Send Me No Flowers" from that film in 1964. It would have been a great tune for The Shirelles, Cookies, or Chiffons, or one of the other girls groups.

Re: The flying Nun

Quote

the TV show, "The Flying Nun" was far too stupid for ANY country's TV fare.

It depends on which age group you think it was made for.

My sister was in early primary school when it ran on TV after school. She absolutely loved it. Became a Sally Field fan for life. Didn't hurt that my sister grew up to look a lot like Sally Field.
Had not the slightest interest in it myself.

And since I like to keep us Comic Book oriented as much a possible, Dell published 4 'Flying Nun' comic books in 1968. Art by Henry Scarpelli, script by unknown.
https://www.lambiek.net/artists/s/scarpelli_henry.htm

my vote for most absurd American situation comedy would be be 'My Mother the Car' Can you imagine driving.... ! No,I can start that sentence but no way can I finish it.

Since this is a music thread, here is the theme song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kz3hfJweE0

In the same vein, 'Its so bad its .... just plain bad!' is Ghostbusters,. No not that GhostBusters. the original [Mercifully shortlived] 1975 TV show starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker [Fresh off F Troop] and a Gorilla. Playing characters named, believe it or not, Spenser, Tracy and Kong, the Ghost Busters. And no, I'm not making this $#*@# up. Oh, and the Gorilla was Tracey and Forrest Tucker played Kong. There just had to be smokable substances involved in this somewhere.

Here is episode #1
Episode 01 - The Maltese Monkey

And here is a documentary. Well worth watching.

One of my favourite songs?

Okay

From the middle of the 70s to the middle of the 80s, there was the so-called "Rockpalast Nacht" in Germany, in Essen, Gruga Halle, they began at around 10 p.m. and ended at around 6 a.m. Bands could let off steam there. I sat in front of the TV and the radio and recorded everything. Today I have everything on DVD. Her is one of the best:

On October 6th, 1979, Nils Lofgren played live in front of an audience of millions, on the 5th Rockpalast Eurovision Night.

The intro is unforgettable.
