Thank you very much for your support (and for tolerating the ads) - I appreciate it!
Sad – not everyone can afford cable
NBC = Bah humbug. Wow.
Don’t they usually have the colored I love Lucy’s. Or is that CBS? Seems like they aren’t doing the usual and they definitely aren’t advertising the special programming……except those stupid vulgar trolls.
Hope I don’t miss I love Lucy! The only time I get to watch it!
I am looking for a Christmas movie that has a bakery in the movie and I think the two girls that work in the bakery are cousins and one of the girls tries to get the other girl to go out with a guy and she agrees and misses the guy and the one girl lives right there at the bakery.. I hope this makes sense.. I loved that movie. can someone please help me.
Would you all please air the Christmas show Christmas of many colors by Dolly Parton first aired in November 2016
When will you air Christmas Eve with Loretta Young this year?
That’s it??????
