I'm not sure why there was a need for NOW HEAR THIS, NOW HEAR THIS, but regardless of that I'd prefer to read about it so a link would be great.

Thank you.

Well, Zoneboy, as if it wasn't already obvious, but the need for such a special alarm as "Now Hear This" is that the show begins 3 hours from now and when I wrote it it was to begin in less than 12 hours. There was obviously a URGENT call to arms to anyone who wants to watch this show. Now if you're not interested, fine, but to those that are then there was a definite need for such an alert.

As for your preference to read all about it, the show will have been long over by the time you find your official article. But keep looking to read all about it, the rest of us will watch the show instead. Sheesh, some people really do as Andy would say "beat all".

The near complete (one episode is missing) series of this show is available on DVD from Nostalgia Merchant.

It's interesting that some of these retro TV stations are starting to air old obscure sitcoms. Antenna TV has Joey Bishop Show, My Mother The Car, It's About Time, GET TV has Gertrude Berg and a few others.

The Girl with Something Extra is standing out like a sore thumb now. Both these new additions are Four Star Television productions. They apparently made the Smothers Brothers sitcom from the 60s - I'd love to see that.

One old show that I would really like to see again is That's Life, 1968 musical comedy series with Robert Morse and EJ Peaker. Robert and EJ made an appearance a few years ago for a retrospective/Q & A about the series, there was brief talk at the time of bringing the series to DVD, but nothing has happened. I wonder if maybe the music costs for this series are too prohibitive to issue it on DVD.

Antenna TV also airs Good Morning, World which is pretty obscure.

Yea I forgot to mention that one. I've seen a few episodes but I don't think the show is very good. And I've never been a fan of Billy DeWolfe. Julie Parrish is cute looking.

As for Mrs. G... being available on DVD now, I don't see it available anywhere. It's certainly not on Amazon nor on any Google search. I remember well though Nostalgia Merchant, I used to buy Laurel & Hardy VHS tapes from them years and years ago, but they went out of business and I believe another company took over their name. But still no search of the here and now reveals any Mrs. G... DVD set being available for sale. If you know where it is, show us.

OK, it's currently on ebay for $24.95 and free shipping.

It's considered common courtesy to include a link when posting a news item or at the very least name your source if one isn't available. You might want to keep that in mind if you have any future town crier news flashes.

That's why I rarely watch live TV. DVR everything and skip the commercials.

I haven't seen it yet because it's on at 1AM on Saturdays. I don't get how My Mother the Car and It's About Time both started out at decent enough times, and Good Morning, World which only had one season just like MMTC but not It's About Time, didn't somehow. I do want to see it though.

With the Mrs. G. show and the two shows that air after it, I noticed that GET TV is airing these in 40 minute time slots. So I believe that means the episodes are aired uncut, but you have to tolerate 15 minutes of commercials. GET TV also doesn't crunch the closing credits, although I noticed in the 1st episode of Mrs. G. there was no music during the closing credits. I thought that was strange.

I prefer what GET TV is doing, I can live with the commercials if they extend the time slot to air the entire episode. It's better than Antenna TV's method of airing edited episodes and credit crunches.

Speaking of GET TV, last night they had two episodes of Sonny And Cher Comedy Hour, an episode of Van Dyke And Company, and an episode of Johnny Cash And Friends. I didn't care all that much for the Johnny Cash Show, I'm not really a Johnny Cash fan but he did have Roy Clark on, I've always liked Roy Clark he's a great guitar player. The two Sonny And Cher Shows brought back some memories, V.A.M.P....Vamp.

I had never seen Van Dyke And Company before but it was interesting, the episode that aired was the one with Lucille Ball as guest star.

Good Morning, World is worth taking a look at, it just isn't a favorite show of mine. But I like 1960's sitcoms so I'll watch almost any sitcom from that era. If the show comes on at a time that isn't convenient for you, maybe you can record the episodes and watch them later?

I mean I have a recorder but haven't recorded GMW yet. I probably will this week. I hope that Antenna gets more short-lived sitcoms like those so we can give them a look.
