Go, VA!

Is your town really called Pixley? I've never heard of that one...

Cheryl, in the episode where Chico dreams Ed goes to live in a retirement home, did you also wonder why Chico's new female assistant had the abbreviation for "Virginia" printed on her shirt twice? LOL!

I never noticed that in that episode. It's been so long since I'd seen them until the TVLAND marathon. I just started watching them again when the marathon came on TVLAND as that's the first time it's been on tv around here since the 70's. & During the marathon & ever since then I've been watching them again & enjoying them & have really gotten into them lately.

Actually I'm not from Pixley LOL! Actually Central VA. That's a joke referring to the town of Pixley on the Green Acres & Petticoat Junction tv shows from the 60's. An inside joke around here is the county is Pixley & Town is Hooterville LOL!

I love watching a million old classic 50's/60's/70's tv shows everything from Andy Griffith to Dick Van Dyke to Green Acres, To Petticoat Junction to My 3 Sons to Emergency to Mary Tyler Moore, & half a million others with Chico being one of the half a million old shows I love.

I should've recognized Pixley from those old shows!

I like the sitcoms from that era, too. I used to watch Nick at Nite all the time, pre-TVLand, but haven't watched it much since it seems most of their shows are now from the 70s -80s.

When I was little, my favorite shows were "My Favorite Martian," "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Dick Van Dyke." (I think some of these were already in syndication by the time I saw them. I also LOVE the original Star Trek series.)

In the "Chico" era, I also liked "The Rockford Files" and "Sanford and Son." Also Tony Orlando's show, although for some reason I don't remember seeing Freddie on it.

If you watch the Chico episode where Ed retires again, take a look at the scene where Ed comes back to visit the garage and you'll see "Va va." Although, it's hard to focus on her when Freddie's standing around in his Elvis costume. ZOWIE!! LOL.

Wonder what the sigificance of the VA on the shirt is?
