I love DS with a passion, probably even more than when I was a kid. Yesterday I was watching an 1897 episode and looking at the original airdate, June 1969, and wondering what I was doing when it aired during the original run. Since it was late June, school was out and I was probably outside playing with my friends and then suddenly it's almost 4:00 and I had to run into the house to watch DS. It's possible that my brother hollered outside the door that DS was on and of course I came running. I was 10 years old. If someone had told me that that at the age of 47 I'd still be loving the show and able to watch it anytime I wanted because I'd own it (on DVD) I'd have been amazed.
There are many situations in life that I will relate to DS. Something will happen and I'll think that's just like when such and such happened on DS. Sometimes I'll tell my husband about it, he's not a fan but he knows a lot of names from DS now.
