Tv Travels

+++++ TV TRAVELS +++++ Oh where, oh where shall I travel today Maybe 1940's where life portrayed In black and white with stars of yesterday Spectacular performances quite different than now Alfred Hitchcock movies my favorite--WOW !! North by Northwest, Vertigo, The Birds, Psycho Deliciously dark and decadently delightful ~ +++ Or maybe Mexico to Chechen Itza and surrounding Mayan pyramids The history and mystique and intrigue that time and limestone hid The underground cenotes enveloping the caves and watery sacrificial graves These marvels touted to be sacred healing waters in which the heart and soul could be saved ~ +++ Though might be in an Andy Griffith marathon weekend mood Andy, Aunt Bea, Opie, Barney, and all the Mayberry brood This show not the same with any other actors The writers and directors among the winning factors Life humorously portrayed from back in the day Sit on the front porch and swing the day away ~ +++ Or maybe to the watery shroud of the Titanic Most important photos recently discovered in an attic Providing new clues and photographic evidence All facts combined now truth makes more sense Of what precipitated the sinking, a fire in the engine room to be exact, before leaving Blackened ship side, as seen in photos weakened thus unable to survive the sudden and improbable iceberg impact Sinking an unsinkable ship ~ +++ So many choices on any given day Where does your heart want to travel to today Hopefully you have a big screen TV with HD And a comfy recliner with remote in hand Ready to travel to foreign lands, other states Forgotten eras, presidential debates Newest digs and newest discoveries Crimes in real times, crashed plane recoveries Different cultures, different religions Animals for food threatened with guns Times when life seemed so grand and fine Movies and documentaries, fact and fictional Westerns, Sci Fi, comedies situational News shows, stock market closes, Elon Musk proposed LA underground traffic tunnels ~ +++ All the education and entertainment with a click of the remote from that comfy recliner Travels several times daily, life couldn't be finer To anywhere your heart, or mind, takes you Tomorrow's a new day, more channels to surf Thank God for Dish Network, the cost is so worth it !! ~ ~ ++++ ~~ ++++ ~~ ++++ ~

YES !! When you hear it said that they don't movies like they used, that's an understatement. Of course everything changes. Everyone of every age should watch these classics. Amazing and powerful !! Thanx for reading ^WW^

I'm an old movie buff, myself, Jeanie. I do not like modern movies because the special effects make them unbelievable. Growing up we had 3 channels, Those were the days of Tarzan, The Three Stooges and Our Gang. Wonderful memories:)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE 40's movies !! I did not appreciate them until recent years. I had 2 channels--4 & 7 & thankful to have those. I have all the Hitchcock movies recorded and simply listen to them while doing other things .Thank you for reading and commenting Daniel~~~ ~~ Jeanie ~~
