OLDIES BUT GOODIES

My  niece sent me these links for those of us who reminisce about the earlier TV, mostly B&W of my childhood, so I thought some of you might enjoy clicking on them. A lot of them were idealistic, something that would not pass for good ratings these days.

I watch reruns, of Andy Griffith even today. There is a Bible study series based on some of his shows. Today I watch reruns of REBA, but even some of the subject matter and language in them would have been censored in the days of the following links.Clink on an underlined year, or underlined title, tolink and enjoy YESTERDAY, SO LONG AGO FOR ME!!!! Some are really blurry, but I remember we did not think so in those day when it was magic to have a "picture show movie" in your own home.
