Someone on FR posted the above link (well - probably the “home” link to free classic shows. The above goes to Petticoat-Junction.
Better now that I am older, I get more of the humor. Of course back then as a young boy I was more interested in Kate’s daughters than anything else. And it seemed that they were rarely the focus of the show. (Now I relate to “Joe” more!!)
Thank you for the link. There was a site coming from Europe which showed so many different TV shows. Then the big change over at Google happened and sites got new URLS or were merged with other entities. This site had the old Columbo, Absolutely Fabulous -AB FAB, Moonlighting, just to name a few. It also had episodes of First Edition which was an unusual show. That happened to be the show I was attempting to view at the time. Watched part of an episode (a Christmas episode) found I couldn’t keep the eyes open any longer and said I’ll finish watching this in the morning. Went to bed. Woke the next day to finish watching - Bam! to the moon Alice! The site had grown dark. and it never reappeared again. Still have no idea how that story on that episode ended.
Thanks again! Really appreciate your taking the time.
