Evening all...Summer is in full swing, I've got the burn to prove it...

Well let's say this new team sure has “Gracie Allen” on the brain...not a bad thing...and he's packing a lot in...Jack Benny with Gracie Allen for President should be fun...Superman needs to go away...nice to have Suspense, wish it was at 10pm...Philip Marlowe...a new show Mr and Mrs North which is fun...and ending with a Whistler, love that...

You keeping cool out there?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! You’d better get some aloe vera on that burn, stat! It’s a miracle plant for burns.

I didn’t get a synopsis list up. Maybe next time I’ll be inspired to do one. I’m hoping Murray at least keeps up a lower “PC” level. He would almost be tolerable if he would just drop that crap “warning” any snowflake who might be listening about the “offensive” content. Has he checked out prime time television TODAY? Sheesh!

[Vision]

I got aloe vera and more going. About to go make dinner.

What’d ya think of the convention?

[WXRGina]

Good! That aloe will keep you from peeling, and it takes the pain away—BOOM!—like that.

We didn’t see much of the convention. We don’t have television, but we did watch just a little bit of it on the computer on the last two nights. I’m just kinda numb, because I’m afraid the Clinton camp will commit enough massive election fraud to steal it, because there’s NO WAY she can win in an honest election. I’m certain she would lose by at least 20 points, if there were no fraud occurring. No, I don’t believe the mainstream media polls that have her “neck-and-neck” with him.

[Vision]

Let not your heart be troubled...he's going to win.

[hugorand]

Disappointed that the show no longer starts off with the one-two punch of Johnny Dollar followed by Dragnet.

[WXRGina]

He should win. I just know how powerful and corrupt the commie Democrats and that criminal harpy shrew Hillary Clinton are, and they’ll do ANYTHING to “win.” I pray God has mercy on this nation—mercy that we don’t deserve.

[Vision]

Tell them what you think.

I love GS’s bumper music.

[WXRGina]

Me, too. I love everything about Gunsmoke.

[Vision]

Harry Morgan in GN...

[Vision]

Suspense!

[HokieMom]

Lots of changes!

[Vision]

Yes.

[Vision]

Moorehead’s delivery is key to this Suspense and that's why it should be played in the 10pm hour. He went from Superman to this. Makes no sense.

[WXRGina]

She’s a master, no doubt. She’s supremely creepy in that one—no pun. :-)

[WXRGina]

I truly despise Murray’s stupid caveats. This time about the “sad” reality of a white guy in “black face.” WHATEVER! Everyone liked it, and there was NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!
