Every once in awhile I get a hankering for watching old television programs.
One problem with that when you don't receive more than one television channel.
We're not on cable or have a dish.
You can substitute what comes in on the tele
by watching DVDs, CDs, Blu-ray OR use your computer and tune into hulu.com.
So I did...I watched an old black and white program of 'The Donna Reed Show'
and never missed the color.
Such a pretty lady.
The way she sent her family off for the day and out the door is STATE OF THE ART.
She always looked so polished and the house well taken care of.
Love her pearls. Good clean entertainment from the past.
Wish I had a friend like Donna! Bigger than life and sweeter than pie.
Yes, I know it's acting and pretending in televisionland, but there's just something refreshing to me, an old sick lady like me, needing some down time as I recover.
Donna Reed's hometown was Denison, Iowa and she grew up on a farm.
My sis lives in Denison. I've never tired watching Donna in the movie
'It's A Wonderful Life'. Every Christmas I watch this movie.
Thanks for tuning in!

I'm up way too late... and I can here hulu or what not and old TV shows drifting up from downstairs.... Love old tv...
Good morning D, oh, this so fun! Ever once in a while I run across one of these old shows! I just love going back to watching these. I haven't seen any of Donna Reeds in a long time. Did'nt life appear so calm then with these Family shows? Have a Blessed Sunday!
Hi Deanna,
I loved the Donna Reed show! She was an ideal housewife and mother. Nobody can have it all together like she always did, but it is fun to imagine it is possible. (:>)
I do hope you are recovering nicely. Is it hard for you to take it easy? Is the man from the stone house being good to you? Hope so! (:>)
Prayers for you today my Kansas friend. People who don't live here don't know what they are missing! ha!

I love the Donna Reed Show. I have season one on DVD. I hope to get more seasons over time.
Donna was such a cheerful lady, and added bright sunshine to the set of her movies and programs.
She reminds me a little of Doris Day.
Hope you are enjoying a peaceful rest and recovering well!
hugs!

Dear Ones, I enjoy your comments.
Ash, Want some old time tv? You go girl.
Nana, Life does appear calmer with these old programs. The shows had morals and good messages.
Linda, Thank you for praying!!!
This go round with cancer and 2 surgeries...I had to slow way down and take it very easy.
My hubby has been taking excellent care of me and this has been a huge blessing. Huge.
For years I could not take it easy while ill. Not this time...I'm a great patient willing to sit or take a nap.
Praying for a healthy recovery and gaining great amounts of energy.

Oh, cool!
I'm a huge fan of old '50's and '60's TV. I remember sneaking out of bed to watch I Love Lucy by crawling down the hallway and peering around the corner to see a bit of the TV screen from the back of the sofa! Naughty little girl that I was!
Loved all those shows -- such a sweet time (especially on TV) Glad you're feeling better and up to visiting.
Hi Deanna,
I have not seen this show and yes, she is a pretty Lady.
I like some of the old black and white shows too.
Happy week
Hugs

I almost forgot about Donna Reed. I remember watching the Donna Reed show as I grew up. Wonder what would be made of a show with a wife and Mom like her now?
HI!!
Oh I loved her!!
I also love all those old shows--Lucy---Bewitched, all those old fav shows from way back when!!!
I find myself watching the old shows on Nickelodeon time to time, sadly we have cable and with 200 channels, sometimes there is nothing on!!
hugs,
jamie
