Sad news. Another of the generation I grew up in has gone on to his final reward. I'd sure like to hear the conversation between Tony and Saint Peter right now. I wonder if there will be any mention of the Beav ?

I’ve noticed TV was goood when it was black and white.
When TV become colorized, mouthy, marxist groids and fàggots infected it.
Years ago I saw a show about how TV changed nearly overnight. They explained, it went from families/trees/fields to broken families/concrete/cities, bye bye Green Acres hello Family Affair, Mayberry RFD to The Partridge Family.
