I grew up watching this show with my mother, my aunt and grandmother. It was truly a family affair. We all loved the Hughes family. It brought a little bit of their world into our homes. I miss it a lot. Would love to see them put this on the air as reruns!!! Surely there enough episodes stored somewhere where do we could enjoy them once more. They are showing Gunsmoke and tons of old westerns, ladies would like to see As the World Turns as reruns. I started watching this show when I was a small child in the late 1950's and watched it until the day they took it off the air. The daytime soap operas they have on today do not compare.
