Dragnet - The Big Light - Classic TV



Dragnet, The Big Light.  Classic TV here on GVLN.    Frank and Joe are sent to a hollywood movie studio to check on a report a of a fatal accident. A huge arc light has fallen on the director, but there's suspicion that it wasn't an accident.  Aired March, 1953.  Always fun to check out the fashions, vehicles, technology, and other period objects.  My how times have changed.  But have we really moved forward?

The Lucy Show, Lucy and Viv Learn Karate 1963



The Lucy Show, Lucy and Viv Learn Karate, 1963.  Classic TV here on GVLN.
While all the networks keep putting out more and more garbage, we are bringing back the good old fashioned entertainment.  Shows and movies that made sense and not filled with tons of propaganda messages.  Sure, propaganda has always been a part of Hollywood, but it's more prevalent today than it used to be.  

  The old stuff made more sense and was more geared towards the American way of life and not trying to destroy it.  Beside, looking at the fashions of the period and how life used to be is incredibly interesting.  No cell phones, no computers, no security cameras, not a lot of issues.

drink a decoction of this herb and I´natû Ga´n‘ka=“snake tongue”
(Camptosorus rhizophyllus or Walking Fern) to produce vomiting, after
which the dreams do not return. The traders buy large quantities of
liverwort from the Cherokees, who may thus have learned to esteem it
more highly than they otherwise would. The appearance of the other
plant, Camptosorus rhizophyllus, has evidently determined its Cherokee
name and the use to which it is applied. Dispensatory: “Liverwort is a

d deobstruent virtues. It was formerly used in Europe
in various complaints, especially chronic hepatic affections, but
has fallen into entire neglect. In this country, some years since,
it acquired considerable reputation, which, however, it has not
maintained as a remedy in hæmoptysis and chronic coughs.” The other
plant is not named.
