I've been incredibly nostalgic lately, actually I've almost wished I was born 50 years ago. The TV they had was so much better. Honestly when black and white can entertain me more than almost anything we have today, you know it was good. It was on a totally different level from what TV is today.
I'd have to say Tom and Jerry were my favorites in the cartoon department. I think they trump the roadrunner and Wiley coyote anyday, although Looney Tunes had a ton of great ones.
I think I've just gotten fed up with all the "comedy" these days. Don't get me wrong, I can get a laugh out of pretty much anything where people are trying to do ridiculous stunts or charades, but I can't remember the last time I actually laughed my way through a movie. They either have to curse so much you laugh just because its so flippant and honestly pointless, ooooor they have to throw a ton of trash into it.
I'd take a good ol' Three Stooges any day.
I Love Lucy was great, Leave It To Beaver, McHales Navy, Gomer Pile... so many good shows.
I wish we could make movies and shows with the same kind of class that they had years ago. I leave you with what I think is some of the best representation of the good days gone by. If you've never seen it, I hope you can take some time and appreciate it. Its from Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast. A gathering of the greats to commemorate other greats. There were a ton to choose from but I only put one on here, so if you like it, there are a ton more linked to it. Thanks for reading my blithering. Adieu.
