40 years..... And I've only been alive for a little over half of them.

Happy anniversary, DS.

Well, I'm a year older than the show, but to me DS doesn't look its age- after all, it's timeless!!!

Wow. I remember being at my grandparents' house in Georgia on the day DS first aired, watching the first few episodes, and thinking it was pretty neat. Then we came back home, and the local ABC station wasn't airing the show. Boy, was I one pissed-off little fellow. It take another 3-plus years before I ever got to watch it on a regular basis; and then, all too soon, they pulled the plug. But -not- being able to watch it every day during that period made it all the more magical for me. In the end it's worked out, as I've watched the entire series twice, and many portions of it up to a dozen times.

What a great milestone.

40 years! DS is now officially middle-aged. I was born nine months(!!!) after the premiere, so I'm practically middle-aged myself.

I'm amazed by the show's endurance and impressed that its fan base continues to grow, especially when I think that the show was unavailable for many years and that it was kept alive entirely by the efforts of fans. We didn't have the benefit of constant syndication and various incarnations as did the fans of STAR TREK.

Happy Anniversary Everybody!

I turned 8 years old a couple of after I started watching DS in 67.
Happy Anniversary!

I think a large part of the kudos go to US......the fans who have remained fans for all these many years. If we weren't still celebrating this show, it would be little more than an entry in a book about the 60's.....or a trivia question about soap operas. But because WE remember it, love it, celebrate it and keep it alive, it remains a part of the history of American culture.

Not bad for an odd little "cult favorite"!!!

Well let's crank up this party some and have some cake!!!

Don't forget to turn on some Blue Whale music and start some dancing.

Geez. I must have been five when the show started. Time goes by really fast now. But, I enjoy every minute.
