I am in my 70s. On Channel 2, sponsored by Maxwell House Coffee, was a show called "I Remember Mama" starring Peggy Wood.
As a young girl I remember watching this show faithfully with my Mom and Sister.
I do wish they would bring it back on the air. It was really a very valuable family show.

The wonderful thing about Red Skelton was that he NEVER used a curse word and NEVER put anything prejudice or biased in his humor.
Did you know that he has written many books, plays and music scores? There are hundreds of them from what I understand!

I guess I remember Red Skelton every time I use my computer. My boyfriend and husband of 56 years gave me my nickname of Clem because I loved Clem Cadiddlehopper, a character Red played. We both loved that show, have videos of the old ones. Good clean humor!!

The on fire woman didn't get hurt, she went on to be one of Charlie's Angels--the original. I don't remember her name but she was the one with straight dark hair.

I watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"last night and cried thru most of it. My dad's name was Gus and we had huge bbQ's in our back yard with all of the relatives, drank Ouzo and"ompah'd" all night. Dad solved all problems with Windex and later "409". Statues, Yes and everything stemmed from the Greeks. Yes, we are a Greek Family.
