And the winner is .................

At my advanced age, I want to state publicly, that there are number of things that I am thankful for. I am not going in to detail as to what they all might be.

Television is a big part of our lives. Turned on in the morning and off as we go to bed. We sit and watch it when there is really nothing worth watching. I admit, I do, often, during the day, have the music channel on, listening to music from the 30's and 40's, my kind of music.

There are certain shows my wife likes in the evenings, during the day, 19 to 12 a couple of shows we regularly watch, we like Drew Carey. Then news, then generally, my music. Jeopardy and the one with Vanna are regulars also.

But, there are three shows, that deserve recognition, for their entertainment value and their longevity.

Matlock, Perry Mason and Murder She Wrote, have saved more than one dull viewing time. They have been on forever, and still, occasionally, one of the three we have never seen. Some I think I have seen many times, but they are still worth watching. I woke up early today, at 6, came out, turned on the TV and been watching Perry and Ben since then.

I will admit also, 4:30 in the afternoon, I do watch, well, The Lone Ranger, two episodes.
