You know what's awesome?
Old tv shows.
Shows like, Get Smart, Batman, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, etc
Just this past friday/sunday (today) I spend almost 5 or so hours watching Get Smart episodes -- season 1!
Friday, I more or less watched them because I was sick, but then I continued to watch, and to watch, I grabbed some caramel and an apple and some tea, and watched more. I tell you, that I needed a good laugh, and Get Smart definitely provided it for me.
Just today my friend Murray "mosyed" her way on over to my house after a long weekend of crazy work at the restaurant I am employed at. I was so tired. I ran, booted 'er to be exact to the top of my road when I found out that Murray was near by.
Thankfully, when she drove over the hill coming down towards my house, she noticed the crazy person hitchhiking on the side of the road (aka me). Murray slowed down and tried to pull a Uy on the top on the road, and failed... miserably.
As soon as we walked through the doors of my house, Murray was thrilled when I shared with her that we would be spending our evening watch Get Smart.
We soon began to watch this show, for many many hours. We came to the conclusion of what made older tv shows better than many today.
Here is what we discussed
1- Old TV shows had SWEET theme songs, Happy Days as an example, totally memorable, Get Smart, Batman, even though both of those have little to no words whatsoever, the use instruments to create depth and excitement at the very beginning of every episode
2- The characters were a key element to what made these shows so fantastic- Adam West, Harry Wrinkler, Don Knotts in Three's Company all were perfectly placed in their roles, which leads to our next point
3- Bad acting is clearly what makes these shows so very hilarious- obviously there are some good actors in these shows, but in Get Smart, Candace and I discussed that Agent 99 does better acting when she tries NOT to act
4- Corny is key- you know at that kiss scene where they compare a rose to the girl or whatnot, well I couldn't think of any better way to make tv entertaining!
5- "surprise endings" even though we all know how it's going to end
Older tv shows show such class and humour that I must go now, and watch more of get smart.
Actually, I'm going to watch a movie with my mother... ahhh yeah:)
that is all.
