Pioneers Of Television

There's lots to talk about on the smaller screen.

Pioneers Of Television

If anyone here is interested in classic (oldie) TV shows, then you might enjoy a special program being shown on the PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) called "Pioneers Of Television". It will be showcasing stars such as Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Red Skeleton, Andy Griffith, and others who were indeed the "pioneers" in television and the TV shows they helped to become hit shows, etc., such as "I Love Lucy", "The Honeymooners", "The Andy Griffith Show", and others.

I think in some areas this is being shown on January 2, but you might better check your local listings for dates and times. It is a four part special, I think.

I saw the first part of this show last night. Anyone else see it. It was a good show and talked mostly about sitcoms such as "I Love Lucy", "Dick Van * Show", Andy Griffith show, and Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymooners" show.

Oh that? I was overhearing it the other night I'm pretty sure.....lol I mean last night. XD I stopped at it for a short bit, but got more interested in learning about technological advances in the Netherlands.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
