I broke down and couldn't wait at bought our's at walmart (sorry mr
weaver).  We started watching them last night.. we are up to the
senior play.  I always thought howard replaced Floyd? guess i was
wrong.  

The first episode of the set kinda got my "inner feminist" in an
uproar.. helen teaching cynthia that she should pretend to loose or
not be as good at something made my blood boil, but that was the
culture of the day i guess.. thank goodness we've come a long way
since that way of thinking.   At least Andy recognized it and said
something in the very end.   (there was a episode in season 6 that
upset me to the one where Goobers girlfriend took over at the filling
station and then Andy gave her some mumbo jumbo about how she cant
have that kind of career and be a family woman, which is weird
because helen is a career woman.. it was probalby because being a
teacher or a nurse was socially acceptable back then).  

I love TAGs its just sometimes it makes me realize how dated it is..
in some (i'd even say most) ways the "old" way is better.. sometimes
its not... dont get me wrong, i'm perfectly happy being a housewife, 
i'm more "aunt bea" than most women from my generation.  But then
again i dont think Aunt bea would listen to 50 cent and Rob Zombie
while baking her apple pies the way i do *big grin*.  

anyway thats just my 2 cents.
have a great labor day
