Okay, beautiful readers, let me give it to you straight. There’s absolutely no reason to put your television on any channel but TV Land today. Starting at 9:00 (be sure to check your own local listings), their going to obliterate the competition. Being the I Love Lucy addict that I am, I’m getting weak in the knees. Get this: Lucy will take over the channel for 7 hours – putting me in 7th Heaven!
When the Lucy Laughs end, TV Land will reshow the AMAZING premiere of their new reality show, She’s Got the Look. If you didn’t catch it the first time around, you’ll most definitely want to see it this time. It’s so well done, with a lot of style.
After episode 1 of “She’s Got the Look,” you’re in for more laughs with two back to back Beverly Hillbillies followed by some of the funniest Andy Griffith’s ever.
At 6:00, they’ll air “Hot Rod Ottis,” the one where Otis buys a car and puts the fear of God into Andy and Barney – who then put the same fear back into Otis! The next Andy Griffith is just as hilarious – the title is “The Song Festers” – it’s the one where Barney thinks he’s a killer singer but Gomer comes along and outshines him.
At 7:00, Aunt Bee buys too much beef for the ailing freezer to handle, leading to headaches for Andy and laughs for the rest of us. “Aunt Bee, call the man!“ At 7:30 is another of my favorites – “Divorce, Mountain Style!” Any episodes featuring both Barney and the Darlings is one I don’t even blink during. In this episode, Charlene wants to divorce Dud Wash and marry Andy. Fortunately, Andy has Barney to help. Except for one thing – he isn’t any!
After Andy and Barney finish up, there’s an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition followed by… wait for it, wait for it… Episode 2 of She’s Got the Look. According to the promo, it looks like someone has a big meltdown. TV Land caps it off (post-meltdown!) with about 4 episodes of MASH.
I’ve already got TV Land on and going here in my home office. Lucy and Ethel are trying to find a way to get in on the trip to Europe. Ehtel cracked me up – when it looks like she’ll be the only one who doesn’t get to go, she was extremely down trodden and says, “I don’t want to see Europe anyway. It’s so old.”
This is going to be a great day!
