    Pat Buttram's line: "It was the year CBS cancelled everything with a tree - including Lassie."

    Interestingly - CBS caught so much flack they decided to commission rural family show to appease members of Congress who didn't like the switch to more urban fare. The show was "The Waltons."

    Dan, that is intriguing. I had never heard or realized that it all went down like that.

    I'd rather watch this than the latest superhero movie or teens-trying-to survive-in-a-dystopian-society adventure.

    Let it be. You can't improve on perfection.

    Got me to thinking: Petticoat Junction.

    Margo Martindale as Kate Bradley
    Bruce Dern as Joe Carson
    Jayma Mays as Betty Jo Bradley
    Krysten Ritter as Bobbie Jo Bradley
    Dakota Fanning as Billie Jo Bradley
    (Just imagine the water tower scene.)
    James Van Der Beek as Steve Elliott
    Willie Nelson as Floyd Smoot
    Larry the Cable Guy as Charley Pratt

    Please replace characters at will. I promise not to edit any choices I later realize as ridiculous.

    They're rebooting Lethal Weapon. Good grief.
