I loved Trixie and all the Bob-Whites. I still have all the Nancy's. Never heard of the game but now I want it. Loved That Girl and all her yummy outfits. Never wondered how an out of work actress afforded them! And Gidget as a nun! Flying no less. Thanks for the memories.

I totally agree about television being better in the yester years. The Second City TV gang - that takes me back to my early first marriage days. Another World - I have the final episode on VHS somewhere. Schitt Creek - hilarious! I didn't realize until a couple of weeks ago that the son on the show is Eugene Levy's real son (I live under a rock). Anyway, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this post and to wish you a happy weekend. Any signs of Spring yet in Montreal? Not a bud to be seen here yet.Marie-Interior Frugalistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875028264167612823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-17639252639889337412016-03-12T17:13:28.670-08:002016-03-12T17:13:28.670-08:00I grew up on The Guiding Light and As the World Tu...I grew up on The Guiding Light and As the World Turns.

I knew about the Viet Nam war, had a cousin who fought in it, but it was not on our soil, like the horrors that go on today. I loved those shows you mentioned amd was a huge Nancy Drew fan. I especially liked her pal Dave Mead. Still to this day don't know if it is pronounced MEE-d or M-eh-d. Aye. I also believe the 60's had the best music. Beatles, Beach Boys, etc. The seventies are bittersweet, music was good, tv shows better, but I also loved the 80's, for both televison, music and my love life. But that's not for this comment.

We had heard of Schitt's Creek, but haven't looked for it. Steve is actually looking on Netflix now to see if we can get it. Of course we won't watch now, but if you put a bug in Steve's ear, he has to look into it right away.

I fi...I really enjoyed reminiscing with you, Suzan! I figure I'm about 10 years older than you, but I watched all of the same shows, and I love Nancy Drew. I am not familiar with Trixie Belden, though. I don't know if that is a Canadian or British book series, but I have heard of the "Rabbit-Rabbit" thing, but I never knew where it came from! We don't watch any regular TV cuz it IS Schitt. We watch mainly PBS Masterpiece Theater and all of the documentaries on PBS and all of the British shows. We can't stand how there are more commercials than show on the regular channels. We tape only one show from either CBS or NBC, not sure what channel it's on, called "The Big Bang Theory". It is only 1/2 an hr. Actually the actual show is about 15 minutes, and the other 15 mins. are commercials. We've counted as many as 12 or 13+ commercials at each break, (about 4 breaks), we fast forward through the commercials. The show is very funny. I don't know if you've ever watched it. I've wanted to get Netflix, but we do not have it yet. Do the shows have commercials on Netflix?<br />I love Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy! Anything they are in is guaranteed to be funny. I'd never heard of "Schitt Creek", but I'm going to see how I can watch it. O'Hara and Levy are from "Second City TV", aren't they? I really think she is hilarious! I've gotta find how to watch "Schitt Creek"! Thanks for the tip. We are really hooked on the BBC shows that they show here now on PBS, plus they have no commercials on PBS!<br />Happy weekend!<br />Love Ya,<br />Laura/EthelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771857135420281489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-54043322627309654662016-03-11T18:40:24.702-08:002016-03-11T18:40:24.702-08:00Love this post!

I remember when I was young that whenever someone knocked at the door my mother's stock greeting was "Won't you come in?" Ha! I can just see me saying that! Those were the good old days. And you are absolutely right about t.v.--much better then! I miss The Guiding Light, As the world turns and Dark Shadows. Used to watch those shows every day during summer break. BUT. . . . we're not getting older, we're getting better!
