I think Proverbs 3
5+6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
A vision from Heaven!
There’s another little network along the lines of “MeTV” that was showing nothing but first episodes for the first day, New Years Day. Didn’t catch the name of it but among the many aired they did show the first episode of Green Acres, when Oliver Douglas bought the farm. Hilarious. Can’t say I recall ever having seen it before, and I thought I’d seen them all.
Those shows were gems.
How I miss Al Capp...
yea but Greenacres was a spinoff from Petticoat Junction not Beverly Hillbillies
Stupifyin’ Jones!
Weird how a funny show spun off from a boring show.
I was rather sad seeing the Dogpatch theme-park all closed and deserted, off the side of the road, a few years back. Similarly, I noticed I didn’t see the commercial use of the ‘hillbilly’ motif all around the Ozarks like I used to, compared to decades back. Things like roadside signage and whatnot. Assumed it peaked, during the popularity of “Beverly Hillbillies” and a few years afterward.
Not sure if it’s something the locals themselves cared for, but as a kid, the whole comical hillbilly cliche/stereotypes gave the vicinity an appealing and inviting mystique.

She was my friend (from preschool through elementary)’s stepmom. She’d pull up to the school in a long convertible, sunglasses, little dog by her side, absolutely gorgeous movie star style.
Sadly my friend went to heaven before her.
“yea but Greenacres was a spinoff from Petticoat Junction not Beverly Hillbillies”
Yeah, and I remember that the train in Petticoat Junction ran from Petticoat Junction to Hooterville! Those crazy screenwriters!
Was watching some of “The Twilight Zone” episodes on the SyFy “TTZ” marathon New Year’s Night. Saw DD in the episode about “eye of the beholder”, ca. 1960. And then she left this mortal coil the next day. RIP, DD.
No matter to me. It was the funniest thing going for years, and I learned much from it.
May she, and those great legs, RIP.
I lay down and slept.
I awoke because the LORD kept me alive.
He kept me safe.
I will not be afraid of 10 000 enemies that are all round me.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If she didn’t, she should have!
She looked better in those short cut off jeans than any woman ever has. RIP Elly May.

The same way I got to be 82 years old——keep breathing.
