Funny at my parents listeining to the telly.... Funny how some comedies are still funny even with the passage of time and others just do not have the touch they once did.

Some never had the touch...ever! ;)

Some shows like The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven I still enjoy. Comedies like M*A*S*H, Cosby, Three's Company, Cheers, Frasier and others still have that element to entertain and be engaging. Some of the comedies today, IMHO, are stale.

Some of the comedies today do not know how to write witty dialogue and good jokes but rely on plot gimmicks to be funny. It is like the writing of the programs is rushed and not allowed to take a personality of their own.  IMHO, I feel some the shows from the 1980s and earlier are the best for they allowed for creative writing. You dont see that in today's comedies. Even the BBC does not have the quality comedies they once had.

George, You are German also? My German ancestors are from the Rhienland mainly but also from Pommerania, Sudetenland and Westphalia. I am also Irish!! :)

Maybe it is me and I am being overly critical,  but on the network programs today, the qaulity wirting on programs is spotty at best. Perhaps it is laziness or the fragmentation of the medium but a lot of telly shows, IMHO, are mediocre at best.

My mom was born and raised in the southern part and all of her family is still there.  Her brother lives in the house that she grew up in.  My dad's mother was of German descent and his dad's family was from Ireland.  I don't remember exactly but either my dad's father or grandfather was born in England when his (whichever) parents were travelling from Ireland to the US.  So I'm 3/4 German and 1/4 Irish, but I have the Irish name...and Patrick is my middle name. :)

That is true... Look at NBC - that network is a mess. At one time they were on top of the heap and now Fox is beating the tar out of them. Days may improve with new writers. Passions is horrid. I watched it once and I felt insulted.

I like shows taht make me think and I love a witty conversation and good actors that can pull it off. Acting talent out there is also hit and miss. However they have their fans.

A freind of mine has MASH on DVD and tape and she recently loaned me a copy. It was fun watching that show and it has truly stood the test of time. Bruce has hardly aged a day since he was on!

Interesting?  Have you been to Germany to visit them?

Someday i would love to go to Germany and see where my ancestors lived. I do know the town that the lived in.

My dad was stationed in Germany when I was four years old until the summer after first grade.  We moved to Colorado then here to Washington when I was 10.  I haven't been back since.  My parents have and my sister (who's about two years older) went back when she was in high school.  My mom's the oldest of four and her sister and the older of her two brothers have visited here.   And her mom visited us a couple of years after we moved here to Olympia.

I love strong character driven stories whether it is a drama, soap, comedy or a movie. I believe strong characters, male or female, allow you to experience their feelings and where the story is going. A good writer can convey that in the writing and it supported by strong acting.
