Recently I had the pleasure to get to review a DVD set called Watch Around The Clock ~ 24 Hours of Shows, Movies, Cartoons, and Commericials which had some great nostalgic shows that I remember from childhood and still watch some of them to this day.
Guess What! I got another DVD set to review with the same title, only some awesome different television shows, movies, cartoons and commercials. It is called Watch Around The Clock in Color. Actually, the one I received is a little different than the one on the Mill Creek Entertainment website. I don't know if they changed it but I really liked what I received. This set has 4 discs and includes the following titles:
Popeye & Friends
Casper the Friendly Ghost
Gumby
Fraidy Cat
Wacky & Packy
Hoppity Hooper
Clutch Cargo & Friends
Colonel Bleep
Space Angel
Captain Fathom
Mr. Piper
Disc Two: Daytime Variety
Gulliver's Travels
The Borrowers
Rescue from Gilligan's Island
The Over-The-Hill Gang
Disc Three: Prime-Time Favorites
The Lone Ranger
Long John Silver
The Cisco Kid
Judge Roy Bean
Rango
Dusty's Trail
The Lucy Show
Bonanza
Mannix
Disc Four: Midnight Movie Marathon
The Last Time I Saw Paris
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Some of these shows I remembered from my childhood, such as Popeye, Gumby, Gulliver's Travels, The Lone Ranger, The Lucy Show, Bonanza and Mannix. It was like taking a trip back in time watching some of these old shows and cartoons. They are feel good shows which are great for the whole family to watch together!
I always liked the cartoon Popeye and it's just as funny as it was when I was little. Also I remember watching The Lucy Show on television because Lucy was always so comical and got in such predicaments.
Other memories of mine include watching The Lone Ranger and Bonanza which were great cowboy or western shows. I still watch Bonanza occasionally on reruns on television.
Some of my favorite actors in the Midnight Movie Marathon include Donna Reed, Gregory Peck, Van Johnson Ava Gardner, Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, to mention a few.
The approximate running time of the entire lineup of shows is 24 hours. The shows are all in color and are not rated. There is also a bonus digital access plus a holiday DVD that you can get when you purchase this set.

A big thank you to Mill Creek Entertainment for the great set I received to review. If you are interested it sells for $29.98. With Christmas rolling around before you know it, this would be great for gifts, or for yourself!
Disclosure: I received free product for review purposes and all opinions expressed are my own.
I also enjoyed watching Popeye, and Casper. We watched I Love Lucy also. 24 hours is a lot of shows to watch, that's great!
ReplyDeleteI wish they would make shows like this these days! It's a trip down memory lane watching these for sure!
