the ole crocodile Dundee only watch it for the butt scene although not much for blondes but,,nice butt anywho.
Watching an episode of the Waltons. Realizing just now how beautiful Olivia Walton is. I'm told the show was inspired by the movie Spencers Mountain with Henry Fonda and Maureen O Hara. Maureen O Hara was beautiful in that movie too.
Porridge (The film; 1979)
Big screen spin-off of the BBC's popular Seventies sitcom. Habitual criminal Norman Stanley Fletcher (Ronnie Barker) is currently 'doing porridge' at Slade prison, but only has a year to go. He and cellmate Lennie Godber (Richard Beckinsale, who sadly died shortly after filming was completed) are content to bide their time - until they accidentally become involved in an escape plan while playing a morale-raising football match against a 'celebrity' team. Desperate not to ruin their chances of parole, Fletcher and Godber find themselves in the unusual position of trying to break back INTO prison without being caught!

There's a little town I lived by out in the Ozarks . Mansfield Missouri. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum is there. Drove by it a few times while going to the store there. Michael Landon AKA Eugene Orowitz made the show for me. There was always a kind of moral of the story in every episode. I think his Jewish roots had a lot to do with that.
was just watching the NY Isles in NHL playoffs
then, watched USA > Mexico in soccer

In episode 2 of Secret Britain, Adam and Ellie go on a tour of England's largest county by area - North Yorkshire - to visit some magical places as suggested by viewers of the BBC's Countryfile.
Secret Britain
Episode 2
Mysterious Moors of Yorkshire
Ellie and Adam go on a journey around the mysterious moors of North Yorkshire. Adam meets the farmer whose dad discovered a secret Roman villa (above) some 50 years ago while ploughing his land. Finds of Roman pottery inspire Adam to share his secret skill with the potter's wheel.
Ellie tries to solve the puzzle behind Britain's highest pub - why was the Tan Hill Inn built atop the moor, miles from the nearest customers? The secret lies buried in centuries-old mine workings, if only Ellie can find them. Now the Tan Hill Inn has reinvented itself as a cool music venue, which leads Ellie to reveal her own secret past as a country singer.
The Tan Hill Inn on top of Tan Hill on the Pennine Way is the highest inn in the British Isles at 1,732 feet above sea level. The building dates to the 17th century
In the picturesque Rosedale Valley, Adam discovers the remains of a forgotten glass-making industry scattered in the bracken. Why were French immigrants making glass in secret on the Yorkshire moor some 400 years ago?
A teenage boy whose ambition is to be become a gamekeeper shares his favourite secret places in the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside as he takes his pet ferret to work the land looking for rabbits.
The best kept secret in Whitby is the unseen warren of back alleys and hidden gardens, known locally as the Whitby Yards. Ellie investigates how these former slums have now become highly sought after havens of peace.
As she visits the remarkable ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, Ellie discovers, hidden from the public gaze, the long lost faces of the men who built it.
Adam and Ellie's journey reaches a climax with the hunt for Yorkshire's finest view. The author of All Creatures Great and Small famously claimed that it's from Whitestone Cliff, next to the majestic Sutton Bank - but can Adam and Ellie find a view that's even better and, above all, secret?
