lol. B&W movies work, especially comedies and mysteries. To me, it is the soothing simplicity of past times, a nice distraction from the cacophonous world today. Except of course, the Westerns, where very few characters are left standing at the end of the show. Those have to be of limited intake! Not so simple, life then!

I never realized there were so many Gunsmoke episodes. When I watch westerns, I find myself missing living in the high desert of the Great Basin (where I lived for much of my 30s and 40s).

Love Gunsmoke- they quite often even quote scripture and neither of us got to see it originally so we are enjoying it now. Tell Alaine it is not a typical western. Perry Mason has always been high on our list. I wish today we would be as concerned with truth rather than winning or losing.

PS: Loved your Psalm 31 thoughts. Giving you credit I read parts to our family on New Year’s Eve. Thx.

BTW Brian today is Nollaig na Mbán, Women's Christmas AKA Little Christmas.

So give Alaine the remote control, just for today.

Brian, Castle is hardly chick flick material.

Go for SciFi, the real final frontier.

Happy New Year Pastor

I continue to pray for your mother and family

I think the B&W shows are more than nostalgia l, more than just well written, but come from an Era that made sense.

The world of Perry Mason was logical. Yes good guys and bad guys but there was an order to that world that seems to be missing.

635 episodes. Wowzer. I did all star trek TNG and Twilight Zones, both under 200. So 600+ is an Odyssey

I wish you luck sir
