Okay - now this is the start of fall and . . .


I have heard so many sad things this month - and yes there are times for being sad and there are times when we should be happy. At least we need to give ourselves some happiness in sad times - if appropriate.

So watch something funny - that is what Norman Cousins did to heal himself of cancer - so his book says.

Now this is from my friend Jerry - As The Cracker Crumbles....

GREATEST WEB SITES OF ALL TIME!!! More memories!

This is a keeper.


This will keep you entertained for the next ten years!!

Here is a web site like no other. If you are over 50 - you will love this. You can scroll down the list below and click and watch anything.

we are sending a big fat kiss,, did you get it! My husband is sitting with me as I read my blogs this morning and he is a happy camper .he listens to Sirius radio oldies,,all day.This is one better!!!!Thanks for this.

Granny Annie said...

You have given me this on a day I was going to get away from the computer and concentrate on my fitness program. I'm staying here instead loving all the Oldies:)

MadSnapper said...

since these are from "my times" i recognize almost all of them. i used to love the Honey Mooners and i just told our dog Baby last week, i was going to knock her to the moon if she did not stop barking. laughter is good for the soul, and our dogs give us much to laugh at daily. this is a good site for the favorites bar, when a laugh is needed.

Jill said...

How much fun! Thank you for posting all of these. I'm going to cehck them out...over time. May you laugh today and every day!

Pondside said...

That's a lot of fun for a rainy day! I can see lots of things that TGD will love too.

betty said...

It is hard to always hear sad or unhappy things, isn't it, Sandie? I am glad you posted all these sites, will look into some of them. I hope you get to hear some happy things for the rest of this month. I know what you are talking about, I sometimes think we need to stop talking about all we talk about, hubby and me, the hard stuff, and just go out and do something fun. That's why I'm glad Koda gives us laughs :)

Kim said...

I love some of those. Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood I go to YouTube and watch old Carol Burnett skits.

Linda @ A La Carte said...

My sweet friend as you know I need some smiles in my life right now and you never fail to provide that! I miss you. hugs, Linda

Marie said...

I recognized a couple of these. I will definitely be taking a look. Laughter is great medicine!

Rebecca Nelson said...

Oh my gosh...peeked in on Dark Shadows and got truly SKERD! Use to watch that after school....GASP!

You are a dear...Password had me on the floor!

Susan said...

Holy Toledo, Sandie. Never knew such things were still available! Hope your day is super. Susan

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Hi Sandie, laughter is so very good for us! I love to laugh. Thanks for the link, I didn't know about that one! All of these shows are from my younger days. It'll be fun to watch some of them. Have a great day!

Bev said...

Well now I will never get bored!!!

Anonymous said...

Hi Sandie, It's great to laugh, will have a look at these :)
Hope you have a good day.
Hugs

Just Stuff From a Boomer said...

How fun to revisit our youth. Were things really more simple then or is it because we were too young to know what was giong on in the world? Give me the world of Rob and Laura Petrie anytime.

Sweet Tea said...

Wel, if I can't get my HAPPY on with all those choices, then something is definitely wrong... I hope you hear some WONDERFUL news today and that JOY finds it's way to your heart. Sometimes we really NEED that.

Lois Christensen said...

I know some of those shows! Especially I Dream of Jeanie! LOVED that show! And Petticoat Junction. Great list! Enjoy your day!

The Boston Lady said...

Oh goody - More to store in my favorites for an instant pick me up when needed! I think I will start with Rob and Laura Petrie - I had such a crush on DVD when I was younger - still think he's great. Ann

Liz Mays said...

I'm not over 50, but I still remember a lot of those shows. Some I liked, but some I hated (like Hogan's Heroes).

Linda (Nina's Nest) said...

Father Knows Best - I grew up on that and loved it - one of my favs! Would be fun to watch now and see what I think! Linda

Sherri said...

Hi Sandi, thanks for dropping by my blog today. I live a bit west of Atlanta. Nice to 'meet' you!

Ginny Hartzler said...

Wow, this site is so cool!! I went and watched a bit of The Life Of Riley!! Bet you don't remember that one! Or Amos &Andy? I had to bookmark it, thanks!!

Ann said...

well there's enough there to keep me busy for the long cold weekend coming up

pcb said...

Oh, boy, I will be lost in all of the oldies! Thanks!

pcb said...

Oh, boy, I will be lost in all of the oldies! Thanks!

DaCraftyLady said...

wow its been awhile fo rme but I'm back, I just loved this list thanks for sharing it I missed these prgrams and now I don't have to. Debb

GrammyK said...

Wow!!! What a list!! My kids LOVE old movies and shows. Seems like there is ALWAYS an Abbott and Costello up on my computer on YouTube!! This is something we will HAVE to check out!! Thanks for posting them!!

Just a little info tidbit here... The show Petticoat Junction was created by the stories that Paul Henning's wife told him of summers spent in Eldon, MO--our former home that we recently (sadly) moved from. I thought that was really cool. They have a big write up about it in the town visitor's guide. :-) Makes me feel oh so important to have lived in such a famous place!! Ha Ha!!

<3 Blessings!! Kris

Dar said...

Lost in the 50's Tonight~~~~need I say more....what a list of greats.
It's always appropriate to find laughter and the light side...
BlessYourHeart

Catherine said...

Dear Sandie, Thanks for the memories!!! I just love this post!! I love these shows and I cannot pick a favorite. I love Abbot & Costello, The Honeymooners, Dragnet...on and on...so many good memories. Thank you and bless you my friend. Catherine xo

Janie said...

Sometimes I don't like to admitt that I can remember these memories. Then again, this was quality stuff. Thanks for a fun post. Will come back to these. Annie Oakley, HoneyMooners, and I Married joan. What a great life growing up in the 50's with the world of black and white, and people that do make you laugh. Lets have more happiness in the world!

Hootin Anni said...

Oh my goodness, my goodness!!! What a real pleasure this was. Marty Robbins, Groucho Marx, Lucy, Carol Burnett...oh so many priceless treasures they all were, entertaining us. You really really know how to bring back my youth and I so enjoyed it. Every minute and everyone on the list. Wow.


Thanks for stopping by to visit.

My post today is: Friday's Fragments

Debbie said...

Lost in Space? Lost in Space?
That was my second favorite show growing up just below My Three Sons.

Danger, Will Robinson...

Love Of Quilts said...

How sweet it would be if these were the shows our grandkids were seeing. THANK YOU TRISH

sandy said...

This is wonderful - I've bookmarked it!!

ocmist said...

Oh, how I WISH I had high speed internet! I know the Bible says that laughter is like a good medicine, and I know it always makes me feel better, so thanks for the dose, my friend! :)

Sharon said...

What a lot of work you've done!!

I will enjoy putting on my *nostalgia hat* and visiting. Those were the good old days, weren't they?!
