Some of you mention your husbands enjoying the old westerns on ME TV. Mike and I are sitting here, laughing out loud at an episode of Dennis the Menace right now.
These shows remind me that there are all sorts of levels of meaning in good entertainment. Kids can laugh at this show, but there are adult issues playing out, too.
I have always felt this is how the old Disney movies kept families entertained for decades, too. You can watch one as a child, and take away a whole different message as a teen or adult.
Mr. Wilson is evidently having a midlife crisis in this one. I didn't realize people had them in the fifties and early sixties.
I had felt a kinship with Mr. Wilson when the little girl next door would burst out of the door over next door, and get into my yardwork. It got to the point that I'd sneak out the back door, to evade her because she was one worrisome kid.
Which old-time TV character do you feel you have some things in common?
