Combat! (1962)
not for love nor money
I have all 5 seasons and wouldn't trade them for love or money. These shows gave what my Dad and Brothers said a close look at the horror of war any war. Weather called 1,2 or 100 yrs war, civil, where people died ,old, young, babies ,kids. people just trying to do a days work on their land to feed their families are killed for just being their and each war is to be the one to end all wars but the next one is in line like in a bating cage one after the other. Important people say nice things about the dead and about their bravery all true but then when all go home glad it wasn't their son or daughter the family of the one just buried goes home to cry and cry and cry and I could go on forever couldn't I. Then things go back to what's normal for those who still smile until the next WAR the next speech the next banner to be waved and the new Graveyard services and the circle rolls over more who serve and those who Love them. But if you watch Combat you will see just what I've been saying in each episode. They were very well written and I will keep watching them because war never changes only the faces of its DEAD.Sincerely; Big Mike H.,Ivanhoe,Ca.
Gidget (1965)
A great show one before its time
I love the show I got it and watch it all at least every other month. I love the story line and her crazy kid one moment and as wise as an oldster the next as it really is for kids. I know it's hard to believe in the world today but their are still kids like that and they don't flash gang signs or carry guns but U may not want to believe this but they were there then as well. Just didn't have the weapons down like now. I love the Gidgets character she is sweet and a normal kid as I was. But then I've alway crushed on Sally Field and loved all of her work. Like Smokey and the Bandit that was just fun and a feel good show but when she wanted to make a statement she can and did do that with just as much zing in Norma Rae she made you think. This talent has helped me think and look at life in a different way from time to time. Very glad she and her talents were there to say and feel what I couldn't say for the lack of writers>LOL> Thanks Ms. Field. Sincerely; Big Mike H.;Ivanhoe,Ca.
