Happy holiday weekend all. Never forget those who gave all.
There’s a nice variety of shows this evening but it appears they are not Memorial Day shows. Not even one of the WWII entertainment specials they often run? Bizarre. But we get JFK creating the Peace Corps? Meh. I”ll wait to listen before I consider this lineup disrespectful.
Anyway, am interested in It’s Murder and The Revuers, never heard of them...then good shows Murder by Experts, love Mysterious Traveler, and can’t remember Best Plays before and Mr. Roberts...
How’s the weekend going?
The lineup alone is disrespectful. Maybe he’ll mention our war dead.
Anyway, how’s it going with you, Vision? :-)
I am blessed. Am off till Wednesday and am relaxing it’s been a crazy few months. It’s raining too much here. Am tweaking shrimp scampi recipes. How about you?
We’re enjoying a long weekend, too. It’s nice weather, and Keith’s doing baby back ribs and smoked sausage on the grill.
I just heard Murray’s intro. I didn’t realize what “Mr. Roberts” was, so I spoke too soon, not nicely, about Murray.
Mr Roberts is a WWII story. I remember the movie version starring Henry Fonda.

There’s not enough of a Memorial Day focus though.
What sausage are you working with?
I agree. He isn’t doing Memorial Day at all. Mr. Roberts is not a Memorial Day type show.
We’re just using the same ol’ Conecuh sausage we always use. I’ve told you about it before.
There’s only 1 episode of Its Murder. Cool.
I want to try Conecuh sausage, don’t think I can get it up here.
I can easily ship you some if you wanted.
We give this Radio Review show a big thumbs-down.
Screw this stupid, hand-picked “crazy Christian” narrative Murray’s throwing out there in this Gunsmoke. EVERY show this guy chooses to play has some kind of idiot libtard angle. We’re SICK of how he’s ruined the Big Broadcast!
Let me know if you want me to ship you some Conecuh. I’m glad to. It’s just ordinary smoked sausage, although very good, but it’s special, because you can’t get it up there. :-)
Thanks, I’ll let you know.
Yea, the The Revuers sucked.
'Queen Of The Cats'. LOL She's sitting in my living room, feeding lo mein to three of them at the moment. Picture that.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Viking, you’re the bomb, and your sweet getties are, too.
AND You got Conecuh Central near you—closer to you than us! :-D
Hey ViKing, I might have to ship some in. Do you have tomorrow off?
