Tv Land.

A friend and I were at a restaurant the other day. While we were waiting for our food, I picked up one of the little trivia cards they had out on the table. I can't tell you what the question was, but it had to do with some old time Tv show. I quickly stated the answer (as to beat my friend's response), but she just stared at me blankly. She obviously had no idea. "Sweet, I'm already one up," I thought. So I grabbed another card. It was another old Tv show question. Again, I shouted out my answer with excitement. My friend just stared at me. She asked "How do you know all these answers?" I was like "Didn't you ever watch old Tv shows on Tv Land? Gilligan's Island? I Love Lucy?" She replied, "Not really." Are you freaking kidding me?!?!!

I used to love Tv Land. The best shows used to be played at night. For as far back as I can remember, when my sister and I would stay at my Nana's house, that was the channel of choice. We would stay up late with our bowls of ice cream, while my grandpa snored away in his chair. We would watch everything: Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, I Love Lucy, The Brady Bunch, I Dream of Jeannie, Sanford and Son, Petticoat Junction, Bewitched, The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbilly's, and our favorite The Golden Girls.

I don't think Tv Land even plays a lot of these shows anymore, which I find a little disappointing. I really miss these old shows! I hope it's not one of those things were I watch them after like 10 years, and think to myself "Omg, this is horrible. How did I ever like this? It's so stupid. Shit like that, does not actually happen. People are not that dumb. I shouldn't have watched this. I should have left it on a good note, thinking about how great it was, but no. I had to go ruin it be bringing back the good times, that have now become bad!"

I think I'm gonna take the chance anyway. You can buy a lot of the seasons off Amazon. I just hope they will be worth the $30 + shipping! Now, if I only I can choose which show to start with! I still watch Golden Girls all the time, because they're everywhere on Tv. Besides, I think I've seen every episode at least 5 times already. I'm thinking of starting off with Petticoat Junction or Green Acres. I remember liking those ones, but I never got to see a lot of the episodes.

I'm actually quite excited to buy these. I can't wait to tell my Nana after I have it. She will be so pumped! We might have to do a weekly movie night, bring back those memories. Nana would love that.

I can't be the only one who used to love all these shows. Have you ever heard of them? Did you watch them and love them? Which were your favorites? I'm really curious, because my friend was pretty much clueless to the fact that they actually excited, besides maybe I Love Lucy.

Lee Brice.

Saturday, June 26 at the Ranch in San Miguel.  

A few days earlier a friend and I were talking about how Lee Brice was going to be performing locally.  I didn't really know any of his songs besides "Love Like Crazy" which plays on the radio at least 3 times a day, (and that's just while I'm at work).  She asked if I wanted to go, and I said sure, why not?  For like $10 more you could get a VIP ticket.  We had no idea what that entailed, you just had to be 21 to buy it.  VIP?  We're so there.

On Friday my friend went and bought his CD, because neither of us had it.  We had 24 hours to learn his songs.  We listened to it on repeat over, and over, and over, and over.  By Saturday night, I knew maybe 2 songs, including the one that's always on the radio.

The VIP seats were right next to the stage.  We had our own little table with our name reserved on it, and a waitress to take our orders. Right before the show Lee (like I know him) peaked out the curtains right behind us to check out the crowd.  We tried to get pictures then, but some crazy solo chick swooped in and tried to pick up on him. Watching that was actually more entertaining than if we had gotten a picture with him. 

 We hung around at the end of the show, because we were waiting for our ride.  It really worked in our favor, because he came out to take pictures and sign autographs.

He put on a really good show.  Considering he only has 1 cd out, he played a long set.  He did a few covers of songs he wrote for other people.  I was surprised to find out he wrote "Still" for Tim McGraw and "More Than A Memory" for Garth Brooks.  I handed him my concert ticket for him to sign, and he said "What's your name?"  I told him, and he said "L. A. C. Y?"  He didn't add an E to my name.  It scored him a few extra points, I'm not gonna lie!
