Byron’s TV Listings, April 6

It's About TV: This week in TV Guide: April 4, 1970

G’day, boys ‘n’ gulls! Things have been pretty messed up around here lately, but not to worry, someday we’ll get back to normal.

Meanwhile, this special edition of our TV listings is dedicated to our sister, Erlene Talbott.

6:14 a.m.  Ch. 56  THE LOST CITY WHERE STARLINGS HANG OUT–Award-winning twaddle

Do you believe it? This show won a Golden Glob! This week: Dr. Pondo (real name unknown) keeps on trying to teach the starlings to talk and sing. Judge for yourself the professor’s sanity!

7:08 a.m.  Ch. 22   THE OTHER LOST CITY–Inane beliefs

If you’re already watching that bunk about the starlings, you probably don’t need this show.  Old Dennis the Menace fans will go ga-ga over this: the guy who played Dennis’ neighbor, Mr. Wilson, returns to the airwaves as a wise but foolish talking mushroom.

9 a.m.   Ch. 06   ROBIN HOOD 2.0–Medieval western

Robin (Hsiang Wei-fu) quits Sherwood Forest for the high plains of Kansas. The year was 1207 A.D. No stage coaches to rob! This week: Robin sinks deeper and deeper into depression. No one takes it seriously.

Well! I hope these three little shows will give you much laughings!

The 'Happiest Animal in the World' May Not Be So Happy After All – Journal  of Zoology Blog

These are widely considered the three best movies ever made.

 

A Shout-Out to Joshua

Shout Out Stock Photos And Images - 123RF

From time to time, regular readers of this blog mysteriously disappear. Often it’s because of a computer problem. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, you get cut off from a blog that you’ve been following. In desperation, someone might ask me to fix the problem! Might as well ask the cat.

We haven’t seen hide nor hair of Joshua all week. With him living in Japan, I can’t exactly ring his doorbell and see if he’s all right. We’re all connected in cyberspace! A tenuous connection, sometimes, easily disrupted.

Several of you have lost your email notifications, again for no reason, or lost your ability to post a comment–again, no reason–and all I can say is, “And they want to put a computer in charge of our nuclear missiles??” I have no idea why those things happen. If only there were such a thing as a WordPress troubleshooter who spoke English instead of just computer lingo, accessible to all.

Joshua! Where are you, man? Is everything all right? Do you need some prayers? Or is it just your computer going on strike, just to exasperate you?

We do care about each other, this blog is a fellowship–and we all want to stay in touch, don’t we?

So please don’t disappear on purpose!
