Baby Boomers and our fondness for Sci Fi TV shows of the 1960s (Spotify)

In a remarkable act of creation spurred on by the space race between America and the Soviet Union, science fiction television shows in the 1960s confidently came of age, emerging from campy low-budget offerings of space commandos amid cardboard sets and sparking rockets to more sophisticated fare. The turbulent decade of the 1960s meant that we Baby Boomers were more open to escapism and entertainment that would whisk us away from the world's fears.

So, Baby Boomers Mix up a big glass of orange Tang, break out the Ritz crackers and spray can of Cheez Whiz, and let’s run down some of the best sci-fi TV shows of the 1960s.

Baby Boomers and Things we Remember Growing Up in the 1960s (Audio)

Growing up in the 1960s was like living in the middle of a cultural explosion. Every year brought new music, fresh inventions, and a changing world that felt exciting yet uncertain. Families gathered around black-and-white TVs, we kids played until sunset without worrying about safety, and the future seemed boundless with promise. For those of us Baby Boomers who came of age then, the 1960s remain more than just a memory; they’re a vivid snapshot of simpler times and revolutionary change. Growing up in that decade left a mark on a sense of wonder and resilience that endures. For us Baby Boomers who lived it, the 1960s weren’t just years; they were a feeling that never truly fades.

Baby Boomers and Iconic DJs of the 1960s (Audio)

The 1960s were a transformative period for radio, with iconic DJs like Wolfman Jack, Casey Kasem, and Alan Freed leaving a lasting impact on the industry. Wolfman Jack's gravelly voice and wild persona made him a staple of late-night radio, while Casey Kasem's smooth, friendly voice became synonymous with American Top 40. Alan Freed, known for popularizing the term "rock and roll," played a crucial role in breaking racial barriers in music by introducing white audiences to African American artists. These DJs not only entertained but also shaped the musical landscape of the 1960’s.

Baby Boomers and things we did for Fun in the 70s That would leave Gen Z completely clueless

Before smartphones, Wi-Fi, or even cable TV, Boomers in the 1970s found all sorts of weird, wild, and wonderful ways to have fun — and most of them would leave Gen Z either confused, concerned, or completely clueless.

Baby Boomers Important Values That Mean Nothing to Zoomers

Sat, 19 Apr 2025 22:42:15 -0700

Every generation has its own set of norms and standards that help shape important aspects of their life, from how they define success to the way they approach relationships and navigate societal expectations.

Whether they see those values as outdated or unachievable, younger generations are rejecting some of baby boomers' top priorities in favor of their own. So, sit back and have a listen and see if you agree.

Baby Boomers and TV Commercials Trivia

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 12:07:40 -0700

Some TV commercials stick with us like that old piece of gum under your high school desk—except in a good way.

So sit back and listen and see if you can remember any of these TV Commercial gems

Baby Boomers and Weird Rules our Parents Enforced That Finally Make Sense

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 18:01:32 -0700

Some childhood rules felt completely arbitrary at the time—downright bizarre, even. But as adults, we look back and realize our parents weren’t just making up nonsense for their own entertainment. There was logic behind the madness, even if we rolled our eyes back then. Here are rules that once seemed ridiculous but now feel like strokes of genius.

Baby Bomers and Gym Class

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 22:17:02 -0800

PE class for us Baby Boomers was hard-core! For the class jocks, it was the one guaranteed A. For the rest of us, it was like a horrible social experiment gone wrong. It was 45 minutes of humiliating torture that left us sweaty, smelly, and out of breath for the next class and reinforced Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest. From the unflattering gym uniforms and communal showers to the endless laps demanded by our frustrated what to be NFL coach PE teacher, gym class is one high school memory most of us would prefer to forget.

Baby Boomers and 1960’s Baseball

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 10:04:10 -0700

Much like the rest of American society, the early sixties in baseball were just like the late 50s. The Yankees were winning, Mickey Mantle was playing well, and the world was turning as it should. That was until 1965, in which America and the baseball world were turned upside down. The wheels completely fell off the Yankee bus and the rest of Major League Baseball took over. For us young Baby Boomers baseball was an escape from a troubling world filled with war, civil rights movement and nuclear annihilation.

The Beatles are, well, what can we really say that isn’t obvious? They are probably the biggest band ever.

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:21:14 -0700

An icon of the counterculture and yet somehow the ultimate action star of the Baby Boomer era. “The King of Cool” doesn’t even begin to describe Steve McQueen. McQueen was a star the likes of which are rarely seen in the film industry, and became the Baby Boomers action hero of the 1960’s and 70’s.
