Drabble by Kevin Fagan for April 15, 2024

Probably because a lot of today’s shows are lousy.

We don’t watch any of today’s sitcoms.

Oh Robbbbbbb!

Yes, Master!

Those old shows are still funny.

But those are the best shows! The ones I grew up with. The ones that could be funny without a lot of s-e-xual inuendoes!

I just watched Jackie Gleason an hour and 1/2 ago

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! :D

Maybe cause he feels they’re better than nowadays. Could he be righr?

That should be “’splainin”

“Ayyy, the Fonz is here!” “Yabba dabba doo!” “Just one more thing.” “There is nothing wrong with your TV set.” He’ll probably say all that and more.

Nothing weird about that. Today’s TV isn’t as good. Nothing is considered “funny” anymore because someone, somewhere is offended by it. There could never be an All in the Family today.

There were clunkers back then, too, but a much lower percentage.

Boy, the way Glen Miller played, those songs that made the Hit Parade, guys like us we had it made, those were the days…

And you knew who you were then, girls were girls, and men were men, mister we could use a guy like Herbert hoover again.

Didn’t need no welfare state, cause everybody pulled their weight, gee our old LaSalle ran great…Those were the days.

I recognize the “I Love Lucy”, “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Honeymooners”, but what show is “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” from?

I’m watching reruns of the old westerns, The Rifleman, Have Gun Will Travel, Tombstone Territory and others. They’re reasonably clean family entertainment.

On Thurs, my husband will be wearing his D-Backs stuff to the game. He’s from here so that’s his team. We went to the get his game ticket and stuff at the pro shop on Wed. I didn’t go with him. When he handed me the receipt for the stuff, I

At the hotel breakfast yesterday, there were a bunch of people with Cardinals shirts, My sister was wearing her Phillies shirt, During baseball season, my phone calls with her are short because it always drifts to baseball. I have zero interest in it.

what’s weird about that? There haven’t been any good ones since then.

I like archaeology ones about hundreds & thousands of years ago. A science channel actually finds some answers & the alien ones ask amusing questions. Even those rehash the same old stories almost as bad as prime-time networks. Bite my zomby.

The proper phrase is, “Lucy! You got some ‘splainin’ to do!”

Because they make him laugh and recall good memories. Give Dad a break.

We’re watching the first series of Corner Gas – brilliant!

Once they went PC on everything…

Those old comedy shows were a scream. They sure don’t make anything like that anymore. The Honeymooners, All in The Family, Married with Children, SNL, In Living Color, Cheers and even Friends to name a few.

See if you can get him to sing the Monkees theme song

This would definitely by my dad if we had a parrot as a pet. Only thing I could see different, instead of the Brady Bunch, it would be Perry Mason. My dad always said don’t F***, (excuse the language), with Mason after the show was over and start whistling the theme song. I could see the parrot doing the same. LOL!!! :) Oh and The Rifle Man LOL

nyuk nyuk nyuk

“Missed it by THAT much!”

My first thought was the Brady Bunch isn’t over 50 years old and then I was like, “Oh, I guess it is”.

April 14 Shoe. For everyone who thinks Norman is dumb.

Lear he isn’t.

The Brady Bunch is over fifty now isn’t it? Beaver is over sixty years old as is Lucy.

It was a gentler time back then …

My wife found a channel that plays lots of Perry Mason. What an excellent show. I used to watch it all the time with my dad when it was new. I think it is on the Justice Channel.
