Television

As you know I like my television. And over the past two months I have had plenty of time to enjoy a lot of it. The old Doctor Who, Time Team (archeological digs all over Britain) and lots more. During the first few weeks there was Hogan's Heroes. A show I had never heard about, but I thought it was funny and loved it when it was on telly every day. And then, after three out of six seasons, they stopped. Not a clue why, they just stopped. Which was annoying, since I hadn't seen them all yet.

Then a few weeks ago, another channel started with Hi-de-Hi. And 'Allo 'Allo. And Are You Being Served. Which are all series I love watching (again and again). But when Hi-de-Hi was finished, they started with a new series: Just Good Friends, which I had never seen before. But, four episodes in and nothing! They stopped! Why???

Now, I hope that after all that ball banging with sticks (otherwise known as snooker) is finished, they will go back to airing that show. Because it is a fun show to watch and the leads aren't bad to look at either!

Fortunately they will not be stopping with Doctor Who anytime soon. At least I don't think so.

      I tried that link and think I might have to go back to it in the future! Thank you very much.

      I might be a bit too addicted to television. Just a teeny tiny bit...

    TV has an addictive thing about it. My husband's family sold and serviced TV's and Radios. My Dad bought one of the first TV's in our little farming community. Neighbors would all gather at our home on Wednesday to watch the wrestling matches. There were very few programs on in the very early 1950's.

      It does become addictive and when you have been housebound for a while, it becomes a really close friend! Mind you, I will watch programs I have seen before or even those I have on dvd!!

    I remember watching Hogan's Heroes. I've never heard about those other series.
