TC-4

I was hoping that this would be funny, boy was I wrong! Any Gilligan's Island would have been funnier. Not only was it boring but the quantity of commercials was absurd. I was glad when it was over. Looks like I resume going to the video store soon.

When I was a child of 9 I remember my parents watching the Horace Heidt musical show on Mondays at 9PM. When the show was cancelled the new I Love Lucy started in the fall of 1951. It was very funny and was the talk of everyone. Now over 50 years later I am still watching it in the repeats. Sadly, all the stars have passed on. The one thing that my wife and I notice now that we did not notice before was how cheap Fred and Ethel were. They were really "moochers". They could have donated something to the cost of trips, remodeling etc. One bizzare note is that Horace Heidt and Desi Arnaz both died on the same day.

I just bought a big screen tv and rented a few DVDs to use with my progressive scan DVD player. The first movie was Solaris. After about 10 minutes I felt like washing my truck or cutting the grass. My wife even went into another room and did some knitting. I struggled to about half way and fast forwarded to the end. All the people involved with this movie should have realized that most viewers would hate it. From now on I will check out the IMDB with a list of DVDs I plan to rent before I spend my money.
