Golden!
I have a confession. I am hooked on antenna TV. There I said it. I like antenna TV. I don't have cable in my room I have antenna TV and I have been enjoying all the old shows on there every night before bed. Some of the shows I have seen before and some I haven't. I was watching the George Burns show that comes on over the weekend and I just fell in love with that show and Gracie too. I am sitting there in my bed laughing like there is no tomorrow getting dirty looks from my son who is trying to watch YouTube videos on the phone. I told him put on the headphones cause mom is going to be laughing away for hours. I never watched that show until now. It was a lot before my time when it was on TV but I am glad that I found it now. It really makes my night on Saturday evening and Sunday too.
Another of my favorites is Maude. I watched it when it was on way back when when I could. My mom didn't like Maude. My mom didn't like television too much anyway besides her soaps. When they were over basically she was over with the TV watching. And back in the day the soaps were on all day long not like today when they cancelled most of them and she is down to three a day now. But, she never really like the shows that I tried to watch, Maude, Good Times, All In The Family, Golden Girls and a few others. I love the Golden Girls too, although they don't come on antenna TV just yet. I watch them on Logo TV on cable. I guess I am sort of a throw back TV watcher. I love the old and don't care too much for the newer ones except maybe one or two.
I was watching the Golden Girls on Logo TV last night and was thinking that when I first started watching them when they first came on in the 80's my mom like I said didn't like the show. I just figured she didn't cause she was old and that it reminded her of all the fun she was missing in her old age. I know that is mean but I was only 20 something back then and to me old was way, way, way down the line. I thought that 40 was old back then and I decided that when I got to be old I was going to be just like them. I was going to still have fun and sit around with my friends in a big house at the kitchen table eating cheese cake and chatting and just having fun. I wanted to be dating like Blanche, smart like Dorothy, fun like Rose and wise like Sofia. I had it all planned out and those were my golden girls. I was going to be golden too. I was going to be golden when I figured out what the golden years were. Now, I guess I am almost in my golden years. I figure that in ten years I will be there.
As I was cracking up to the all my Antenna TV shows my mom was in the other room asking through the walls what was so darn funny. I told her and she just shook her head. Yep, I guess I will always love the old shows until I am golden and beyond.
