 Mike’s Goodbye
The other night at Blue Frog Studios, a patron came up to me and wondered if I remembered Mike Winlaw. My answer was “Of course I remember Mike!” For those who don’t, he was the first host of a television show called The Vancouver Show, a live interview/current affairs show that aired live, Monday to Friday from 7 pm to 9 pm on TV station CKVU.  Happy Days
While watching the Emmy Awards last Sunday, I was shocked to hear in the introduction to Ron Howard and Henry Winkler that the TV show Happy Days first aired on ABC, 50 years ago! 50 years ago, where did time go? Happy Days was set in the ’50s and ’60s and starred Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Marion Ross, and company, and the kids used to hang out at a diner. Long before Happy Days was on TV, I can remember some Happy Days of my own, but it didn’t involve a diner. In the mid 60’s diners were being replaced by drive-in restaurants. Oh no, it sounds like we’re going to take another trip down memory lane! Hang on, here we go!  Do You Know the Way?
The late 80’s saw me freelancing in the TV game show market, and to do that I had to do what Michael J. Fox once said when asked why he went to Los Angeles to work. He answered, “I’m like a lumberjack, I go where the trees are.” |
