Sad news.
I can’t believe this woman was 93!
The woman you loved to hate! RIP Harriet Olsen. You brought a comical dimension to that wonderful show.
I still watch the reruns. A lesson with every show.
back when you could sit with your 10 year old daughter and watch a show. now TV is an absolute sewer.
There are 3 episodes a day on here. Unless I’ve seen them multiple times I watch them. Good, wholesome television show
My husband and I also watch Leave it to Beaver, Father knows best, Ozzie and Harriet and the Donna Reed show. Every show has a lesson. How I miss those good old days.
Don’t forget Andy Griffith. I also loved Family Affair and My Three Sons.
RIP.
She played the perfect part. Poor Mr. Olsen.
I loved watching her on that show.
I do, too, along with Burns and Allen.
And The Waltons. I actually had a huge crush on John Boy. I mean, he was thoughtful and kind and smart. Are there any men like that left? I’m probably still a little smitten. Gosh, kinda sad huh. LOL
My favorite episode was when he talked Wilbur into taking him to the World Series.
But I kept hoping he would be caught talking.
Yeah but every once in a while he was sort of caught, like when he ordered stuff to be delivered to the house and Wilbur found out and gave him the business.
Dick Van Dyke Show, Wild Wild West, Columbo. All clean and I would never hesitate to leave my daughters in front of these shows without me.
I was watching an Andy Griffith a few days ago. When an ad came on for KY Jelly! So now they’ve managed to destroy that!
And Dick Van Dyke and Lassie. I also love watching That Girl on Amazon Prime.
The only way to avoid that is to watch the shows on some streaming service like Hulu or Amazon Prime commercial free.
