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.

Bewitched
Do you believe in witches? There was an old television show entitled 'Bewitched' starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York before another actor took over one season by the name of Dick Sargent. This was the story of a witch named Samatha and a mortal named Darrin. Samantha was a housewife and Darrin worked in advertising working under Larry Tate. Samantha had a mother, Endora who tried anything and everything to break these two up over the years. Over the years Samantha and Darrin had two children, Tabitha and Adam. Also, there was Sam's cousin Serena, her cousin, Dr. Bombay, Uncle Arthur, Esmeralda, Aunt Clara and a few others. This program aired from the late 1960's to the early 1970's. I remembered when I watched this show I wished I could do the things that Samantha could do. I thought some of the spells that the writers were really catchy for the time period and maybe now a little odd. I remember that the last few seasons the cast seemed to world travelers they went to Italy and England that I remember, as well as going back in history a few times to correct a few mistakes for the story that was happening. I still watch this show if I find it on some channel.

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."

I loved all of these hokey shows when I was a kid. I watched them ALL.
