Happy fall! What is your favorite TV show?: LaVonne Ackerman

Posted

Happy fall to you all! What things are you ready for ... cooler weather, warm recipes? How about new television shows?

I must be getting old. I forget the shows I used to watch! I’m not talking about years ago, I’m talking about last winter and spring. Back in the old days a sitcom or drama aired in early September and would run until June. Just my thoughts, but could this be true? Some memories aren’t always accurate.

I used to love Friday nights ... “The Partridge Family,” “The Brady Bunch” and who remembers “Nanny and the Professor”? Tuesdays were “Happy Days” and “Laverne and Shirley.”

What was your favorite show? What is it now? I like “A Million Little Things,” and the one show on Tuesday nights, and the Tom Selleck police show on Friday nights. I know I liked others, but can’t think of them. See what I mean about remembering?

Enjoy these last days of September. Don’t forget to share your news with your neighbors, and have a super week!
