What comes to mind when I think of the good ol' days of TV? The 70's & 80's, at the moment! I grew up watching shows like All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Sanford & Son, Barney Miller, Happy Days... seeing a theme here yet? Yes, I love to laugh!

I remember how worried my Baptist mother was, catching me watching All in the Family - as if I weren't smart enough to know that Archie was to be laughed at (& sometimes pitied) because of his blatant ignorance about other races & other cultures. She finally came to understand that I wasn't picking up any bad habits from ol' Arch.

The 80's were a different time, to be sure. I did start watching The Waltons in the 70's, true, but I didn't really appreciate them until the 80's. Then there were other shows like The Golden Girls, Highway to Heaven, Cheers, etc. etc. But the best one of all, in my opinion, was Turkey Television! "I want my Turkey TV!" we all shouted, LOL! Funny funny show, very sad that Nickelodeon has it locked down now. It's difficult to find much about it on the internet even - sad.

This blog in no way discounts or denigrates the shows of the 90's to present day - in fact, I'm a big fan of Touched By An Angel (henceforth to be referred to as TBAA, for brevity's sake). Wonderful show, not everyone's cup o' tea, I realize, but I really enjoy it. Enough to go buy the DVD sets! And there have been many wonderful, more recent shows that I enjoy - House, The Office, Whose Line Is It, Anyway, etc. etc. (again)... Fact is, if it touches my heart, &/or makes me laugh, I like it!
