I forgot about the movies! It's quite possible that it was some of the movies I saw and not that series. Two of the local TV stations ran lots and lots of movies - at least a couple every day and all afternoon on Saturday.

Ah, that was a great show about which I had nearly forgotten, Marv. I need to re-watch some of the episodes. It seems I remember that there was great drama involved with whoever received the million dollars, causing my dad to yell at the screen "Just take the g*ddamn money and shaddup!"
Dad always had a simple solution for any problem.
Your Dad sounds like my kinda guy.
P.S. I'm still hoping I can persuade you do write a review on the Brady Bunch Variety Hour - It begs for your special technique.

Here's the thing, Marv. I'd like to help you out on your request--but it doesn't fit into my routine on writing commentaries. If I have to watch something on YouTube--via my computer, it's most likely not going to happen. I'd explain my process--but it's so specific and anal that trying to describe it would be the apex of TMI.
I admit The Brady Bunch Variety Hour sounds like a treasure trove of satiric material--so if it ever shows up on MeTV, I'll be all over it like the avocado-colored shag carpet on their family room floor.
Hey no problem Russ. I just would have liked to see your unique take on the show. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep reading them.
Cheers

Hey kids it's Saturday again. Snuggle up in front of the boob tube (don't let mom hear you call it that)
A couple of weeks ago we covered both Ovaltine and Nestle's Quik but we forgot Bosco.
Bosco who's jingle inspired this ditty as kids
I hate Bosco it's so bad for me
Mother puts it in my milk to try to poison me...
So can you finish the jingle? (answer after the clip)
Yesterday I fooled her
I put it in her tea
Now there's no more mommy
To try and poison me!

Awww, shucks Marv. I was going to do a commentary on this show...
I'll wait awhile before I unleash it.
I don't think a comic book cover and a clip should stop you. I think that would make it the perfect time.
Looking forward to it Russ.
