Yesterday I was watching My Three Sons and it was the one where Katy wanted Ernie and Chip to show her teenage cousins around town but they didn't want to be stuck with a couple of "clunky girls" so they said no.
But they eventually relented and long story short: Chip learned a valuable lesson about STDs. Uncle Charlie sat him down and told him about the scorching case of the clap he got in WWII and they all had a good laugh. Just kidding. They haven't covered the topic of STDs on My Three Sons. But they should.
My absolute favorite by far is The Rifleman.
I never heard of it before MeTV and I started watching it because of the crazy show opener. Now I'm totally wrapped up with Lucas McCain and his young son Mark and all the people in North Fork. I love how enormous Chuck Connors is, how adorable his son is, and you would not believe how many lessons I've learned! You can pretty much solve any problem you have with a rifle.
I'm actually learning all kinds of things from MeTV. For example, from the show Cannon I learned that it doesn't matter if you are tipping the scales at around 350, you can still knock out a gun-wielding bad guy with a well-placed karate chop.

Take a good look at Ethel. Jeez, I should be so "fat."
ReplyDeleteI know! Rhoda too! Those porkers must have been tipping the scales at around 125-130. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI grew up watching those shows!
ReplyDeleteSo you're telling me that someday my kid will actually leave me alone long enough for me to watch tv?? Sometimes it's the little things that keep me going.
ReplyDeleteRhoda was always my fav!! I thought she was so cool.
ReplyDeleteBut now I see those white shoes.....she's gone down a few bars on the cool scale.
LOVE Star Trek!!
Saturday night is now the highlight of my week because of star trek! But I totally know what you mean about their costumes. Did you notice in that episode when the lizard thing went to pick up a rock its rubber lizard face got smooshed way in
