I grew up in a Television Family, and two shows we never missed were our favorite "monster" sitcoms--"The Addams Family," and "The Munsters." I've enjoyed the modern reboots of both, also. #theaddamsfamily #themunsters #hermanmunster #lilymunster #wednesdayaddams #television #tv #tvera #1960s #watchingtelevision #watchingtv #vintagetelevision #vintagetv #classictelevision #classictv #horror #comedyhorror #horrorcomedy #dracula #frankenstein #wolfman #vampire #twentiethcentury

A student at his Little League game. 1977. I hope for a future in which gay people are accepted as teachers, and homophobes are not. #education #publiceducation #homophobia #bigotry #bigotryiswrong #endbigotry #student #students #littleleague #school #publicschool #publicschools #sports #exercise #goodhealth #1970s #twentiethcentury #civilrights

I enjoyed Dorothy Killgallen and the rest of the gang on "What's my Line?" as a child, and have rediscovered this charming game show in my senior years. #whatsmyline #gameshow #gameshows #tvgameshow #tvgameshows #vintagetv #vintagetelevision #JohnDaly #ArleneFrancis #DorothyKilgallen #BennettCerf #panelists #masks #questions #mystery #mysterious #walksoflife #history #entertainment #news #sports #twentiethcentury #nyc

"Seven Minutes in Heaven" the teen kissing game, originated in 1953, and is still around today. Like much in our patriarchal society, it's not much fun for gay kids.
