Retired and watching old TV shows- "Diagnosis Murder" "Drill for Death"

[TexasProgresive]

The 1st guest star I saw was Jamie Farr-Klinger from the TV show Mash. That was the beginning of a Mash reunion.
Jamie Farr - Klinger TV Mash
Loretta Swit - Hot Lips TV Mash
Sally Kellerman - Hot Lips Movie Mash
William Christopher - Fr. Mulcahey TV Mash
Elliot Gould- Trapper John Movie Mash
Christopher Norris- Gloria Brancusi TV Trapper John

It was quite a reunion of Mash the movie, the TV show and spinoff show.

3. Retired also, a good educational and dramatic source is Russian TV series.on You Tubehttps://www.you

Their drama documentaries on WW2, WW1, Romanovos, are excellent.
Also I love their Spies must die, based on Smersh finding Facisist spies during WW2.
The equipment is right on, CGI, war strategies biographies of top generals, tactics, and Stalin's mistakes are covered in the WW2 series.
Very through.
You will learn a lot of new things in those series.

5. I caught every episode of "Route 66" in original broadcast sequence on ME TV!

I remembered it as a dim childhood memory, so on occasion - some episodes - it was like watching a playback of a dream!

One episode that really popped - a gang would challenge for leadership by walking the ledges of hi rise buildings!

I remembered portions of this episode from what must be over 50 years ago - and then I was astonished to see the gang leader was played by what had to be the youngest Martin Sheen I've ever seen!

6. I haven't got to see any 66 shows again

7. "Route 66" was often filmed 'on the road.'

In fact, it was supposed to be a kind of Kerouac 'Beat Generation' adventure (I learned).

It is amazing to see how familiar places in America have physically changed since early '60's!

8. You can't go home again.

Even TV memories don't jive with our modern life.
