I miss a lot of the actors from back then, Hollywood defiantly needs a good actor to come along there aren't many left. I remember a time when there was a movie of the week

RMT came on at 11pm at night and my bedtime was 10pm so I'd lay awake for an hour anticipating when I can turn on the radio really low so Dad wouldn't hear, then I'd lay in bed very still and listen. That creaky gate noise always freaked me out. I loved it!

So many people have said this. Same here! I was 9, we had just moved to my Dad's hometown. He had started collecting toy trains, and would work on them in his basement shop, while listening to CBSRMT. This was in 1974, when it started. I would listen with him, but sometimes listen on my little radio in my room after went to bed.
