I was on one of the Wide World Of Sports intro clips. Just some worthless trivia for you A-jay.

I too am on the intro to the Lake Commandos show playing net-man for Steve Pennaz. I’m a re-run (in many ways) on YouTube and a few TV commercials as someone who lands other people’s fish... gotta be known for doing something well..

I like to be on the water on Saturday morning. Doesn't always work out that way, but hey, that's life

What's your funnnction? This response has been programmed into my mind. The words "conjuction-junction" are a "trigger" , if you will. This trigger, while infallible, is not intended to be abused. Please do not abuse it, else I may malfunction and repeat the phrase "conjunction-junction, what's your funnnnction?" in my mind for at least 48 hours. Thank you

mine was the Thundercats..

I haven’t seen the Galloping Gourmet but I did briefly watch his later series Graham Kerr’s Kitchen which attempted to show healthy versions of sophisticated dishes and the ingredient substitutions were dreadful.

I was just telling my old year old son about this yesterday. He is just now getting into fishing and I told him how I would wake up at like 4am to watch Roland, Bill Dance and the other guys. I don’t even know if f those types of shows exist anymore….

Lots of fishing shows available on cable, including many tournament focused shows.  As for Roland Martin and Bill Dance, their shows are still on the air (so to speak).

Does anyone remember Dan Gapen and "Bobber" Anne? I forget the name of his show.

 

Dan's show concentrated on river fishing in the north country and mostly on small mouth and walleye. 

Fishing the World with the Ol' Man and 'Bobber Anne'.  It was on the Sportsman Channel.  

In my childhood, we only had antenna.  We typically had 3-4 local channels, depending on the wind.  There was a guy out of WPB name Tom Twiford, his show was called, "Tight Lines".  You had to get up at the crack of dawn to watch him.

That was pretty much the only fishing show availible, and it was saltwater, not freshwater fishing.

Much later (I think I was 16 or so), we lived in a house that had satellite TV.  The one I would watch would typically be Bill Dance for fishing, or Ted Nugent for hunting.  Watching Bill improved my worm technique and was good for a laugh.

Goodness, I can't remember all the shows I watched.  Hank Parker, Bill Dance, Orlando Wilson, Jimmy Houston, Roland Martin, Bassmasters, Larry Nixon, Denny Brauer's Bass Class, In-Fisherman, Fish Fishbourne, Doug Hannon, Shaw Grigsby.... just off the top of my head.

 

You can imagine how excited and nervous I was when I first met and interviewed them in person.  And to end up as a guest on the Hank Parker show was a dream come true. 

 

To this day, it really blows me away that these guys recognize my wife and I, smile, shake our hands and address us by name.  Class acts.

 

 

^^ It's worth reposting^^  but I left out this:  I used to watch the Hank Parker show all the time. I taped every episode.  I remember telling myself, "Wouldn't it be great to be on his show one day?"

 

And then it happened...

 

 

I still pinch myself about it.

Looks like you had a fun time of it though - and Hank seemed to enjoy it as well.

 

That pic of you and Keri with Bill, Jimmy and Hank still blows me away though....

Bassmasters was my jam. I also liked the in-fisherman and ole Babe Winkelman's "Good Fishing". I was thinking about this the other day. Anybody know whatever happened to Orlando Wilson? I used to watch his show too.

Larry Csonka’s North To Alaska

Still have Babe's LMB Patterns paperback. One of the best.  

I liked watching and Still watch Bill Dance

My first memory of a fishing show on Saturday mornings was Gadabout Gaddis, the flying fisherman.

My favorites were Jimmy Huston and Bill Dance.  As I got older, I liked In-Fisherman TV.

 

Gadabout Gaddis for me too, American Sportsman with Curt Gowdy had some fishing on it too.

Not fishing, but Modern Farmer was a favorite, as a kid growing up in the New Jersey suburbs that there were vast expanses of open land with nothing to see but the horizon.

I don't remember the name of the show. I only saw it once, but the show's song was so bad that it burned into my brain:
 

Some people say I'm a fishin' fool,
but I think fishin' should be taught in school.
Put a fishin' rod in a young man's hand,
the Earth has got more water than land,
the Earth has got more water than land.

I met them at a fishing show once. 

Sportsman Challenge with Lonnie Stanley & Ron Franklin was a good show
