Sudoku Puzzles

Oops... should have read more carefully. I see Judy and Kathy remember some of my old favorites.

Hmm, yes, it does seem rather personal, doesn't it, Cathy? lol

It's frightening to realize how many reluctant and misadventurous cooks there are on this site!

Mad Magazine observed that Annette Funicello was retired from the Mouseketeers when she could no longer fit into a Mickey Mouse Club sweatshirt.

Good Lord, Ian! You used Mad Magazine for RESEARCH???

I'm very glad you remembered the comma, Kathy...

I aim to please....

Although Good Lord Ian has a nice ring to it.

came over for an easy one after doing the 16x16's...I do like the pictures here!

Good afternoon to all! Quite an impressive castle. Does anyone know where this building is located?

There are these two country farmers milking their cows.
While the one farmer is milking, a fly zooms into the cows ear. The cow starts jumping around, shaking its head and mooing. He tries to
steady the cow and suddenly it settles down. He looks down and sees the fly swimming in the milk More...

A man went to a restaurant and ordered a steak with baked potato.
About halfway through dinner he called the waitress over and said, "Ma'am, this potato is bad."
She nodded, picked up the potato, and smacked it. Then she put it back on his plate and said, "Sir, if that potato causes any more
trouble, you just let me know."

2.09 Well at least I know where Jupiter is. Don't be giving him a title now Kathy, his head will turn into a bobblehead.

Regarding the early television shows, I watched some of those you've talked about, but my fascination was TV westerns. It thrived on the Roy Rogers Show,Wagon Train, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman, etc. I guess it was a guy thing!

oh, bother.

Good Afternoon to everyone!

I lost a carefully researched posting about The Friendly Giant with links. Then I kept trying to post and none of my posts have come through. I closed my browser and am now posting using my mozilla browser and now I think I can post. If this goes through, then I figure it was my 'puter's fault and I'll close it down and make it take a nap.

Hi, Debby. You remember the Friendly Giant with the drawbridge, the rocking chair by the fire and the cow jumping over the moon, don't you?

"Look up! Look way up!" Don't forget about Rusty and Jerome!

I can't resist:

(and how I remember him - younger and in black & white:)
The Friendly Giant, early clip black and white

I guess sometimes less is more.

I remember those westerns, too, CG. (And Westward Ho). On the domestic side, how about December Bride, Our Miss Brooks, Bachelor Father, The Donna Reed Show, and The Farmer's Daughter, with Inger Stevens?

I knew the Canadians would know about it, Greg.

watching these clips I just realized that I know a silly Sunday school song that uses the first lines of the same tune ("Early One Morning").
The "silly" words sound like laughter:
Ho, ho, ho - Ho-sannah
Ha, ha - Ha-llejujah
He, he, he - He saved me
Now I've got the Joy of the Lord!

I'm leaving now before I start rattling off names of shows I watched as a little bit older of a kid:
Beverly Hillbillies
The Andy Griffith Show
Batman
Gilligan's Island
McHale's Navy
Here Come the Brides
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeanie
Hogan's Heroes
Star Trek
Mission More...

LOVED 'Have Gun-Will Travel'!

♪♪ Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.♪♪

We didn't have a television set when I was growing up. We mainly read and listened to the radio, it brought more discussion into the household which is always a good thing.

I used to watch "Wagon Train" (among others) RELIGIOUSLY, although I despised Ward Bond. I thought he was a bullying blowhard who probably had cigar breath besides.
I was (I hate to admit it) glad when he died, and was replaced by John McIntyre...

I liked Flint McCulloch

The other show I watched religiously was Johnny Yuma, The Rebel. The theme song was a big hit for Johnny Cash, and I just had to save up my paper route money to buy a plastiv replica of the sawed-off shotgun that fired plastic bullets.

So you had a crush on Robert Horton did you Mo?

Yancy Derringer!
Jock Mahoney starred with (as his non-talking Indian sidekick) X. Brands (Pahoo)
I always thought that his real name was more unusual than his character name.

HI all! Total incomprehension today on this page for me - I've never heard of half of these TV shows. Andy Pandy and André's other ones, yes, ok, but all the US ones...oh well, probably says something good about my age! André, do you remember the Clangers? And their Soup Dragon? Now that was real educational TV for children!

How about Cisco Kid for a western?
As a todler (when we first got a TV) - Bennie & Cecil & Space Patrol were my must watch.

Yesterday's riddle answer with additional clue was, of course, music - well done to the usual crowd and also to Aileen who I hadn't heard from for a while.

Here's today's one - answers to the "What's new pussycat?" inbox please!
For each of the following clues, what is a synonym that contains the letters CAT?

1.Baseball position
2.Copy
3.What you get with a doctor's prescription
4.Underground cemetery
5.Time off More...

The Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger and Champion the Wonder Horse

Fiona, if I were a rude, obnoxious, ungrateful, unfeeling person, I would say how extremely easy that puzzle was. But I'm not.

Fiona, has the cat got your tongue today?

What was that song -
Like a streak of light come flashing across the sky
Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow
Like a mighty cannonball, he seems to fly
You'll hear about him everywhere you go
The time will come when everyone will know, the, name, of -
Champion the Wonder Horse, Champion the Wonder Horse

So glad it is the end of the day hear 'cos I'm going to be singing that tune till I go to bed now.
