Was bowling big in the 60s?
Yep. They had bowling on TV back then!
They even had bowling on TV through the 90s, actually. I used to watch it religiously before I was a teenager.
I haven’t watched broadcast/cable tv in years. Is bowling no longer aired? I never paid attention to it so I assumed it was just always there.
It wouldn't surprise me if it is still on but I don't watch TV anymore either. If my memory serves me correctly, I saw an 80s rerun on ESPN about 5 years ago, but for the life of me, I have no idea why I was watching ESPN to begin with. (Nostalgia, maybe?)
ESPN 8: The Ocho
Oh, I didn't mean ESPN. Remember, back then there were three networks. Bowling was a huge deal to take up that time.
They still have bowling on TV.
Are you guys trying to make me feel older than I really am?
Only if you are young. Like under 40.
whew I'm only 38. Still young.
Yes, but in the 60's there were like 5 channels at any given time on big cities.
NIxon had a bowling alley installed in the White House.
