What Are You Watching? #246470 Nov 28th, 2008 at 11:36 PM Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 23,310 Maine Merme OP Grande Damme OP Merme Grande Damme Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 23,310 Maine Yesterday I caught the original version of Yours, Mine, and Ours starring Lucille Ball & Henry Fonda. It was far superior to the remake version w/ Steve Martin. I was glad to have seen it. This time of year the TV networks flood us with holiday-inspired stories. So I wanna know, what are you watching? Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Re: What Are You Watching? Tina #246484 Nov 29th, 2008 at 07:00 AM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered I watched one of my all time favs the other night with Athena. Not an oldie, but one I watch every year. The Santa Clause. Of course I'll be watching The Christmas Story too. It's not Christmas until I hear "You'll shoot your eye out". I also watch A Christmas Carol every year. The one with Alistair Sim---to me it's the best one.

I also enjoy Holiday Inn, The Bishop's Wife & Meet Me In St. Louis. (We love Garland). Babes In Toyland makes me laugh and cry now even as it did when I was a kid.

We love that song, Cricket! Last night we tuned in to a MUSICAL version of Scrooge. It was pretty awful. We love musicals in general and we love Scrooge in particular, but Maxi fell right to sleep and I couldn't focus on it. I paid attention in time to see a modern Santa dancing in the streets and couldn't put that in context with the story, so I gave up! I usually like Albert Finney, too. Maybe it was just my mood, but I'm not sure I'd try watching it again. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk.
