My dad's favorite to watch besides football. I can remember well these clean shows the whole family can watch. We sure came a long way from the good old days. It's 4 letter words, sex and politics constantly. Gets old.

I miss the days of "Captain Video and Howdy Doody". I don't watch any of the new garbage on TV. I'm into the Science channels: Discovery, Discovery Plus, History, etc. I don't know how anyone can watch the Housewives of where ever they are, and the rest of the crap that is being produced these days.

You always knew that when he showed up, you would soon be laughing....and it was always clean. Back then they knew it didn't have to be dirty to be funny.

I see some of us still remember the days when comics could get laughs without every other word being F--- this or F--- that. Red was my favorite and he always ended his show with a heartfelt "God Bless".

“RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE


1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.

3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So,ll I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said, "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So, I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married "Miss Right". I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"

I said, "Dust!".

Can't you just hear him say all of these?

I love it. These were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four-letter word or political. It was just clean, simple fun. And he always ended his programs with the words, "And May God Bless"with a big smile on his face.”

I saw Red Skelton in live performance twice. My family and I watched his programs faithfully. He was one of the greatest performers, comedians, and all around great guys in the world. We lost so much when he passed away. His brand of humor was the best.

Someone said that Red was great in the days when the comics didn't have to be dirty to be funny. I totally agree 1000%. However, I just don't see how being dirty is even funny at all!!. I won't go to any of the comedy clubs in the area, partly because of the language and partly because they require you to buy at least 2 drinks. I love beer and wine (can't do beer anymore for medical reasons) but I don't do hard liquor (tastes bad going down but tastes worse when it comes back up). I do have a problem with those that can't talk without swearing in public. Shows an inability to communicate!
