Antenna TV


Many years ago you saw TV antennas on almost every house in your neighborhood. That was the only way you could get TV, through an antenna. That was before Cable TV, or at least before everyone could get it. You had the antenna on the top of your house or on the top of your TV. 

At that time  all of the good shows were on!  Leave it to Beaver, Dennis the Menace, Threes company, All in the Family, Sanford and Son, and many others.  Recently they added a new channel on our Comcast Cable line.  It is called  Antenna TV. They are rerunning all of those old TV shows again.

Now I am in seventh Heaven--I can watch all of those shows again.  Some of them I don't care for, just as I didn't care for them then, but many of them I find very refreshing to watch. You do not see or hear any sexual references on Leave it to Beaver or Dennis the Menace. 

I especially like watching the Beaver.  It amazes me that June Cleaver always had on a neat dress, earrings, and looked as if she were dressed to go somewhere even early in the morning while they ate breakfast. I never saw her in pants or casual clothes at any time. That was not very realistic but I still like the show. Ward Cleaver, Beaver's dad always had on a business suit and looked very neat and trim.

Now I am waiting for them to rerun some of the variety shows that used to be on; such as the Dean Martin show, the Glen Campbell show, the Dinah Shore show, and many other very good shows which are never on at all.  They may never do that but I am hoping they will.

TV has dropped to an all time low in their choice of shows. Much of it is because I am from the old generation and the new generation is producing the new shows. Maybe someday they will wake up and smell the coffee. The old shows were much better than the new one are!  At least in my opinion.
