Day 178 Cookie Jar Sweet Memories


Day 178

 

 

Watching “Petticoat Junction”, “Green Acres”.

“Hogan’s Heroes”, “Gomer Pyle”, “Gunsmoke”,

“Andy Griffith” & “Hawaii Five-0”

(the Evans’ watch the new Five-o every week)

 

 

We watched a lot of television, mostly at night, after the day’s adventure had ended.

When I was a kid, 6 or 7, the “rich” neighbors had a T.V. and let me come over to watch it.

I reckon “poor” people couldn’t afford television; we couldn’t. Wasn’t much on, anyway. Three channels, a few black and white programs and some news, sports and weather. Good!

Later, we somehow got our own television and a couple of more channels. Wow!

When our kids came along, we had plenty of channels, movies to rent for the VCR and later, cable, satellite and so much more. We now have about 80 channels---and…nothing to watch!

Those 50’s, 60’s and 70’s programs really were worth watching teaching morals and ethics.

They reached “worthy” status by virtue of their “values’ and “virtue”-lessons. I enjoyed them.

And---today?...they “re”-make the oldie flicks and they are never even close to good.

Sometimes I lament “the old days” absence. But, I travel on---always…forward.

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “the good old days” Memories!
