Z,
That is cool.
We still do that around here sometimes 🙂 I grew up in the shadow of “Walton’s Mountain” – very close to where they actually lived and my childhood was very similar in a 1970’s kind of way.
Z,
I remember watching The Waltons with my mother. For years at camp we’d go to bed by saying Goodnight John-Boy.
Elie,
He was a lot of fun.
Kasamba,
You are showing your age. 😉
-Ann,
Somewhere Orson is smiling.
Stand back, there’s room enough for all of us!
He has gone to the giant egg in the sky.
Sigh.
Exidor was a wonderful supporting character! The first M&M show he appeared on would probably make my top ten list of funniest sitcom episodes.
Goodnight Yancy!
Goodnight John-Boy.
