Who remembers all those old detective shows from the 1970's? The one that came to my mind was one entitled 'Cannon' that was about a slightly obese man who identified himself as a private investigator hired by whomever needed help some way. He did work with the cops when needed. Cannon would drive around working on his cases in a great big car and there would always be some sort of food on the front seat usually donuts. This show was usually show in parts, as in Act One- introducing what crime took place, Act Two- the investigation, Act Three- catching the culprit(s) and summing up how everything went. There were a few more of these types of shows that were on television back then, and I am thinking about critiquing them as well.

I Dream of Jeannie
There was another old television program from the 1960's to the early 1970's starring Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman entitled 'I Dream of Jeannie'. The story of an astronaut named Tony and a genie named Jeannie. Tony worked for NASA along with his pal Roger. There was also Dr. Bellows who thought Tony was going crazy for how Jeannie was always trying to help Tony, her master. Dr. Bellows thought that Tony needed to take a long rest due working long hours and too long in outer space. Dr. Bellows was always present when Jeannie's errors were present and assume that Tony was behind all these various scenes for Tony had to come up with reasons and excuses for whatever occurred, but there was always Roger, Tony's best friend to help things along. To me this was a fun show to watch as a child growing up. Some of the things that were depicted on the show were hokey, but it was still a funny half-hour of television back then.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
