I would love to retire to a place like Mayberry! I would just love to retire! But then, I guess I have bunches and bunches of years left before I can do that. My father in law just retired about 2 years ago, and my dad hasn't retired yet, altho he could if he wanted to. So I have many years left before I can retire, but I can dream about living in Mayberry when I do retire.
I just got TAGS season 6 today for my birthday present from my husband. I know, we're behind on getting our dvds when they come out, but we just have to wait till we have the funds. It was a nice present, tho, and he even asked me about it before I had to remind him what I wanted. Actually, my B-day isn't until Monday, but I got my present a little early since we were already at the W**-M***. He likes TAGS, too, but not like I do. I could definitely qualify for a Mayberry retirement village home, but I'd have to see if he could squeak by in getting accepted. :) I think a modern day show (not on the air now, but still more modern day than TAGS) was the Cosby Show. Cliff and Claire obviously loved their children, were good, hardworking and smart people, but they could still let their children know right from wrong in a stern way, just like Andy could do with Opie. If Andy's main focus on TAGS was to show the love between characters, I think the Cosby Show did that, also. They showed respect to their elders, and also to their children, and they wanted to give their children the best they could without spoiling them rotten. I know that they were much better off materially than the people in Mayberry, but the love was very obvious on both shows. I also agree about Everybody Loves Raymond. They are a lot more dysfunctional than TAGS or Cosby, but they do love each other. That show is hilarious, too! Thanks for reading, and y'all have a Mayberry Day!
