Watching the "old" T.V. programs

Tweet

I got up this morning feeling awful. I had gotten up at 6 a.m. to use the "litter box" (toilet) and decided it was just too early to get up so I went back to bed. Bad mistake! I had nightmares until 8:45. I woke up mid nightmare and decided it was time to get up. I turned on the computer and started watching the oldies on the computer until Bill got up. Then I turned on the television and watched Ozzie and Harriet. It was hysterical! I've watched other episodes of the program and gotten a big kick out of them and also felt much better after watching them. I'm watching an old episode of Dragnet right now. I was about to turn it over but it got me enthralled with the story line. That's what I miss about some of the newer story lines in programs, they don't hold your attention for very long. The one great thing is that it lifted me out of my funk and I am really starting to feel much better. Of course they are programs that I grew up on, so I am comfortable with them, but still they are so much fun to watch. The story line for Dragnet is the one where a man comes into the police station and tells Friday and his partner that he found some items that he is sure is stolen property. He shows the cops the items and gives them his name and eventually his address that they are to meet him at. That's all the information he would give them. They go to the owner's address and she is a total kook! She rattles on like an empty tea pot and doesn't give them much information. That's about as far as I've gotten in the story....but it's fascinating. Have you started watching the channels that play the old television programs? If you do which ones do you like? I'm hooked on The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, and I can add Ozzie and Harriet and Dragnet on occasion. Bill loves Barney Miller but it comes on late at night and we go to bed around 10 or 11 p.m. so I record them for him. Oh I also watch MASH. When we got the channel that Disney showed it on we also loved Phineas and Ferb. We haven't watched it since the house burned down (I had the full array of channels on the dish which included the Disney channel that played the Phineas and Ferb program). OH, Bill also likes Gunsmoke. I can't handle it because of the amount of killing on the program. Even when I was younger I couldn't handle programs that had a lot of killing on it, I would end up having screaming nightmares if I saw that kind of program. If the folks turned on programs like Gunsmoke or Combat or other programs with a lot of killing on it I would leave the room and go to my bedroom and play with my toys. Now I turn the T.V. to a happier channel. I realized that one of my horrible nightmares this morning was caused by one of the story lines on one of the episodes of Gunsmoke from last night. I should have left the room and sat in the bedroom and read or gone in the storage room and sorted stuff or something like that. It would have saved me from waking up in tears and feeling awful. Do you watch any of the old programs? If you do which ones? What kind of programs do you watch in the newer ones?
