[hot august night]

"The Little Rascals" was one of my favorite TV shows as a child, and I still enjoy watching the syndicated re-runs today. Classic and entertaining programs that never go out of style. I never missed that or "Davey and Goliath." And to this day I still love "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (my favorite scene is when Charlie Brown always gets the rocks during trick-or-treating) and, of course, "A Christmas Story" -- my all-time favorite. Bring on the Red Ryder BB Gun! (or at least until they outlaw them, which the gun haters are succeeding in doing).

If you grew up in the NYC area in the 60s you would have had the pleasure of three hours of undilluted Jean Shepard Monday through Friday on WOR radio. Flick, Schwartz, the whole gang come to life.

I went to see the film the day it opened on Second Ave. The matinee was 75% full with mostly older folk. The lights dimmed. The screen lit up and Jean's voice sank us all into a warm, smiling trip down memory lane...it was indeed magical.

It's a shame that now they don't show them on TV anymore. I used to enjoy them as a child, but now I heard that Bill Cosby bought the rights to them, so he could prevent anyone from seeing what he decided was racist content.

They were a part of American History.
