I have now watched enough Rockford files that the theme song synthesizer music is stuck in my head like an endless loop . Caution , do not fall asleep watching a show like that on Rocu . It will play all night and the theme song will reprogram your brain while you sleep!

Ya, I agree on the sleep thing. Usually 9:30ish to 10pm I get to bed. Wake up around 3:45 to 4am. I refuse to get out of bed till 4:30am lately. I get the wife up near 6am.. I cook breakfast, wife prepares the bread items, etc. It works for us.

Watched some Sanford and Son lately. Amazing what was on TV years ago. All in the Family show... The toilet flush heard around the world. The PC crowd in 2025 would freak out if this was on prime time TV.

I read that Benny Hill died on April 20, 1992.. Some info says he died on April 18th.

Any ways, he was a funny guy. Naughty little skits he did for many years on his tv show in England.

Ya , Benny Hill was a funny guy..

I watched a few U tube videos the other day of Tim Conway on the Johnny Carson show and Carol Burnett show. In his own way Tim was a very funny guy.

The way the Burnett show would allow the cast to run off script a bit and crack each other up was great.

I loved it when the carol burnet crew would lose it and just bust up . It was funny watching them try to keep it together .

Did you know? Bud Abbott of Abbott and Costello comedy duo died on April 24th, 1974. Age 76

Lou Costello died in 1959. I did not know Lou died so young at age 52.

More useless info: Today May 4th (be with you. Star Wars reference) Moses Harry Horwitz aka Moe Howard of the 3 Stooges died in 1975.. Moe was 77 yrs old.

I visit a web forum : Find a Grave and read on famous people that were born - died on the date. Little bit of everybody in history there, famous or not. Creator of the Barbie doll , Kool Aid , other inventors of various things, actors, I read about recently..

Noticed that Lawrence Welk died on this date May 17 1992.. There were not many TV shows my parents watched on TV.. But the Lawrence Welk show was one. Saturday evenings were the country western music shows. Father watched that as did everybody else if you were home.
