and I can most certainly relate to you. The shows I was "forced " to watch while living at home were "I love Lucy", " Lawrence Welk", " Father Knows Best"". "The Jackie Gleason Show", "Ozzie and Harriet", etc. were shows that were the only things on. Now I look back and would love to be able to put myself right back to that age and "possibility" do thins a little different. I think that is the attraction to those original tv shows- the youth we enjoyed -or so we thought we did- in those days and the wonderful possibilities of what was ahead.
However, if one can erase the lore of those bygone years there really is some great television out there today.
