Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	Oh, Jackie and Avalon , I remember the cough syrup one Via Viggie syrup and she got druck off of that and was so funny. I sitll laugh today . We have the repeats on one channel of cable here and love to watch . How about the time Lucy tried to play Superman for Little Ricky's party and got caught out on the ledge of the window and it started to rain with the pigeons around her. That was something else .

Has anyone else noticed how infantile today's writers are, only writing about sex and bathroom humor? It's the same with the old movies. Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day were very funny AND clean!

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	I haven't watched a situation comedy in years, for the same reasons you cited. We've decided that most of the scripts are aimed at 12 year olds. If I'm going to invest my time sitting in front of the TV, I want it to be for something I can enjoy. Of course, married couples used to sleep in twin beds back in those old shows. And most of the women they portrayed weren't terribly independent or with it. But they were funny. Much of today's entertainment leaves very little to the imagination. And I really object to a lot of the language in many movies, not because I'm a prude, but because I know the writers could do better if they were allowed to.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	In those days it was fun and good humor nowadays its just sex and violence even in the so called comedy....Nancy my favorite was the cough medicine one and the one where Lucy and Ethel were on the candy making belt and the candy kept coming faster and faster and she began stuffing it into her dress and her mouth. Oh and the grape crushing one for making wine. You know its hard to find a favorite they were all pretty funny. These comedic routines will live forever....

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	You CAN watch them, I think. They're available on video. We've thought about getting them. I think the reasons we all love the old shows the way we do was that the people on them had a rare kind of talent. But even that might not have survived the horrible writing that passes for comedy these days. Or maybe I'm just getting old?
