Brings back good memories

It was fun hearing the old shows again, and laughing at old (usually corney jokes).

Laughed uncontrollably

I loved these silly innocent shows! They are full of hilarious, funny characters who are too funny for words! Just proof funny doesn't have to be dirty!

entertaining

it's great to hear so many of the older programs and familiar voices. reminds m me of seeing them in sitcoms later in the 70s
