Sixtysomething_S2_Ep19_ A Love Letter to the TV Shows That Shaped Us

In this episode of Sixtysometing, your host, Grace Taylor Segal, is joined by her husband, Aaron, as they embark on a nostalgic journey through their favorite childhood and young adult TV shows.

They reminisce about iconic programs like 'Romper Room,' 'Captain Kangaroo,' 'Lassie,' and 'The Wizard of Oz.' Plus so many more.

The couple also discuss how television evolved through the decades, touching on memorable series from the 1960s to the 1980s, including 'All in the Family,' 'Happy Days,' 'Columbo,' and 'The Rockford Files.'

Grace and Aaron reflect on how these shows influenced their lives and relationships--even their very identities, and they invite listeners to share their own TV memories and characters that shaped them.
