Dobi Gillis (Dwayne Hickman) just passed but Zelda (Sheila Kuehl) was one of our county supervisors. An old fav of mine too. "My Mother The Car" just didn't cut it! Robert

I get an 'A' for 'Martin' here (without the 'a.') Thanks for having my back, Kim. Where have all the Martians gone? Long time passing...

Hi! Gershon, They don't make T.V. shows like that anymore all good clean humor. I've seen all of these shows. Don't forget, Red Skelton, Hogans Heroes, Gilligan's Island, all clean humor. My husband and I are watching McHale's Navy on DVD. Thanks for the memories. Great write, enjoyed, Blessings ~ Debra
