[PRCo] Re: ot Arthur Godfrey

Sadly no one today understands that we could have enjoyable shows  
without filth.   Don't get me wrong, I'm not a puritan.   I just  
don't think every other word needs to be garbage.   I worked with  
railroaders in my life.   I can swear too if the spirit dictates.    
But we don;t need to make make every sentence out of curse words.    
And we don't need every bit of humor to come from the bathroom, as in  
the so called "comedy" channel on cable.   That is also why I quite  
going to Hershey Bears hockey games ... the audience was so perverted  
that I was driven away.

I would like to go back to The Great Gildersleeve, Fiber Magee and  
Molly, Amos and Andy, Jack Benny, Bob Hope...

It was a different world.

Oh well, time to put the shirt on and hunt a Chinese dinner.
