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

    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!

    “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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    Not weird- classic. The stuff today is woke nonsense, pandering to the liberal agendas. Mixed in with profanities and sex.
