Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 16, 2021

Some show I can watch over and over again. Like Burns and Allen.

“George: Gracie, those are beautiful flowers. Where did they come from?

Gracie: Don’t you remember, George? You said that if I went to visit Clara Bagley in the hospital I should be sure to take her flowers. So, when she wasn’t looking, I did.”

Seems like we can only get the next iteration of old ideas, be it Star Wars, Spiderman, Star Trek, Terminator or 007. Now it’s a re-rehash of Ghostbusters. Are there no geniuses to roll the proverbial dice on the next original idea?

There must be, but the people in charge don’t recognize them.

That’s us watching Love it or List it, or Property Bros. “well we won’t know if we’ve seen this one til we see the faces and the house”

Sounds like my wife and I many times !

Me: Haven’t we seen this episode?

Her: I think so, but I can’t remember how it ends.

Me: so we watch it again?

Her: Yes, for a little bit.

The strip has 2021, but it seems that I have seen this one before.

Are we really up to season 13!?!?

Trouble with binge watching old shows— I can still recite the lines on most of the West Wing episodes, as well as many from a lot of the other better shows. The forgettable ones aren’t worth rewatching and the really good ones can’t be forgotten.

It’s Deja Vu all over again! ☺

G+G, one of the greatest duo comedy acts ever!

Oh God this show is so predictable. Oh, I’ve seen it before.

I rewatch series I like (Perry Mason, Peter Gunn, Rocky+Bullwinkle, …) but I try to space them out so I don’t quite remember them.

What’s the fuzzy looking thing on the far right side of the sofa back pillow?

I’ve read books and figured out int the middle of the last chapter that I had read it before. A failing memory increases your literary choices.

I’d almost forgotten that Burns and Allen became a TV series (1950-1958) after their long radio program (1932-1950). I’ve heard a lot more reruns of the Radio Show than I have of the TV show. Thanks for the reminder.
