Sheer magic i loved this show. I managed to buy a few of the seasons, and the rest i found on Amazon or other places.
One show for the lads too as 3 beauties were in this even the ones who took over were beauties. Betty Jo, Bobby Jo, and Billy Jo.
I am also a steam train enthusiast and just loved the Cannonball and the way it was run was just perfect, stop for a chat, do a bit of fishing, help a cow off the line lol....priceless, and the scenes for christmas were lovely with Cannonball who lit up and carol singer.
We even had BOO HISS the villian Homer Bedloe who constantly trys unsuccessfully to shut down the Cannonball but some of his tricks are just hilarious.
I loved the Shady Rest, i mean the food wow, amazing, the phone that wasnt connected but looked good, and the lift in the lobby just there for show lol......priceless.
I just loved Kates character her love for her family and her patience with Uncle Jo who would wear out a saint lol.
When they introduced the dog it made it for me (Benji fame).
I so enjoyed Mike Minor what a lovely guy and great singer I had never heard of him and have now been listening to his music more.
There was so much in this series its difficult to cover all of it, all I can say is watch it, its fun, nostaligic, frustrating, has love scenes, music, madness, daftness, a great laugh with a fun character the dog who was probably more clever then some of the actors lol.
The saddest thing for me was when Bea Benaderet finally came out when she lost her life from cancer i nearly didnt finish watching it but i felt i had too. We lost a few of the actors in this it made it even more poignant watching it.
If you havent watched it and you enjoy the sixties type comedy (bit slaptstick in places lol), then you will love this. I will watch it again as there was stuff i know i missed. I actually LAUGHED OUT LOUD in many places which i dont in the new comedy.
Lovely just lovely.
