As am I.   Amazing.     Seen those episodes so many many times and still laugh like it's the first time.   Just funny good stuff.


Dear Andy:   hey to Goober and Barn.

He will by missed for his humor and gracious treatment of all those around him.

Here is a short recording of one of his funny stories for the older generation.

In these days which are so much different than the 50's it certainly is enjoyable to watch programs from that era.  Certainly a simpler lifestyle back then and the entertainment was so much more wholesome.  I like the old I Love Lucy reruns as well.  Extremely funny and no off color jokes or references to various body parts needed to get a laugh.

I used to watch a lot of Matlock. I found it entertaining until I passed that phase.
