Wow! How can anyone miss Lucy? I mean, even if you don't like it, isn't it still a prerequisite for life? The kids are missing out today! I swear.

What a wonderful time in life. My fav is Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory and the episode where the guys go hunting and fishing and the girls tag along.

Would you like me to pick my favorite?

It would have to be "The Dukes of Hazzard".

I like cars, the General was an awesome car!

I like Daisy Duke (I had the hots for her and still do)

I like James Best as a western actor (he was in a lot of western movies and I just loved his "cooo cooo choo" and "Enos, You dipstick" lines!) LOL

Not to mention Sorrell Booke, "Boss Hogg" and Denver Pyle "Uncle Jesse".

But of course, the stars were John Schnieder and Tom Wopat as the Duke Boys.

"Rosco, ENOS couldn't find a pumpkin on Halloween! Now you go out there and catch the Duke boys, or I'll divorce your sister Lulu and she'll have to move in with YOU!"

Absolutely! Quite appropriate as many here have a "MacGyver" dish or two.

singers who can't sing or play insruments
music channels without music
forget about the story, add another explosion
another war or disaster? BORING another bucketful of CharlieLohanHiltonJolie please!

A couple missing from this thread (that really show my age!): Sea Hunt and Sky King. I have been watching / recording Sea Hunt from Angel2 for the past several months, about one episode a week. Only 1 repeat so far. (The only caveat, sometimes what is recorded as Sea Hunt is a completely different show like DVIDs) Wish Sky King would appear at some point, too! Both of these shows influenced me as a child. I learned to both dive and fly...

Don't forget "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon".

I liked it when they put MacGyver back on Sleuth. They take good tv shows off and put on crap only thing so called reality shows I like is when they build something car, guns, house other than that but the arguing all the time is stupid. I liked Hardcastle and Mcormick, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Fall Guy, Dukes of Hazzard, Home Improvement, That 70's show it was on when I was in high school.

Wow, with all the times I’ve passed it, I never knew Lucille Ball was buried at Lake View Cemetery on Lake View Ave and Buffalo St. Never realized people actually came to the Jamestown area for anything besides Lilly Dale. I’ll have to check that stuff out some day. Not a fan of retro TV at all and even less of a Lucy fan, not my kind of humor or entertainment to say the least but it sounds interesting. I’ll be in northern Chautauqua County tomorrow for work, about 25-30 miles from J-Town. Nice area in the summer and fall. Winters suck though.
