    Here in the UK late 1960's CALLAN.

    Callan was a very violent TV series starring Edward Woodward and Anthony Valentine.

    millie210 asked:-
    Does anyone remember ET being mentioned in an Awake?

    Yes it was 1983

    *** g83 7/8 p. 27 Christ or E.T.? ***
    ..."E.T. may be a skillfully constructed and highly entertaining movie. But it provides no substitute for our True Friend, Jesus Christ, who saves us from this dying, wicked world. After all, E.T. is make-believe. Christ is reality."

    An overseer told us all at a convention that we should not watch "ET" as he represented the anti-Christ. This got the biggest "HUH?" I have ever heard from an audience.

    As younger kids, for some reason, we were not supposed to watch The Flintstones or Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour however we did anyway. Mum didn't really like it but didn't stop us either which was weird.

    No war programs, ie: Combat, Rat Patrol, Bewitched etc. You get the idea.

    Dallas and dynasty were the main two. I watched them though. I wasn't having some twot bully me from the platform just because they didn't like them themselves.

    The other no no's would be whatever the biggest bully in the congregation declared evil.

    Typical cult control.
