I was listening to a YouTube version of “I’m On My Way” by The Proclaimers tonight, which uses footage of Laurel and Hardy dancing.
A memory flooded back to me of watching Laurel and Hardy movies on black and white television in the 1970s.
I then thought about other “classic” shows I used to watch and how they are no longer on TV, except perhaps an obscure pay channel.
The Three Stooges, the Marx Brothers, I Love Lucy, F Troop, Skippy, Mr Ed and Francis the Mule all came to mind.
I loved watching Francis the Talking Mule. According to Wikipedia there were only seven movies.
I can’t remember any of them, just that I liked watching.
I liked Mr Ed too. Considering I’m allergic to horses it seems strange I enjoyed shows about them.
