Maybe you’ve never taken advantage of giving “your two cents” or leaving “a rant” about timely topics. Or you may have had “a conniption fit” about something you read in the news. Your voice needs to be heard.

So, what’s your opinion on the questions below? Feel free to answer any or all questions by clicking on the comments link below.

1. What is the greatest problem facing the US?

2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever bought on Ebay? I know a guy who bought a potato chip that looked like Nixon.

3. Have you made a bucket list – a list of things to do before you die? What’s on your list?

4. Will you attend a high school or college reunion this year? Its amazing how many people didn’t have a good experience in high school or college and would rather forget those days.

Summer TV watch

old-tv.jpg
For avid TV watchers, the summer means one thing — your favorite shows are taking a break, usually after leaving you hanging with a season ending episode.
So what is a person to do for three or four months while our favorite shows are off? During the first three decades of television, as an alternative to reruns original programs showcasing other talents were produced for the summer months.

Sonny and Cher scored on CBS in 1971 as the summer replacement for The Ed Sullivan Show. Ratings were so high, they re-appeared with their own regular series that December.

Other memorable shows that started as summer replacements and eventually found a time slot for the fall include shows starring the Starland Vocal Band, the Smother’s Brothers, the Glen Campbell Good Time Hour and Hee-Haw.

Here’s a memorable moment in TV history that has stood the test of time. I think many people will remember where they were when this episode first aired.

Now that most of the shows have wrapped up their seasons, here are some links to help decide what to watch this summer.
