     I love The Bickersons, with Don Ameche.  Not so much with Lew Parker.   
     I had a cat once named Blanche.  She was a b/w long hair that looked like   
   Sylvester, the cartoon cat.   
     She was a stray and already had one cat, Molly, a tabby I got at the   
   shelter.    
     I couldn't find the seconds former slave (dogs have masters, cats have   
   slaves) and resisted naming her.  You know what happens when you name an   
   animal.   
     Nearly a week passed and I knew she was going to stay but no name.  I   
   name my pets after their personality.   
     One night I was dead tired and she came up wanting some attention.  My   
   first thought was "Blanche, let me sleep" like John would say.   
     That became her name, Blanche Bickerson DuBois.  The DuBois was after   
   Blanche DuBois from the play/movie A Streetcar Named Desire who had depended on   
   the kindness of strangers.

     For some shows.  The library is the best site.

     In the olden days I would borrow a tape from the library, free, unlike   
   other rental places one had to pay, and intend to watch it.  But it seemed   
   every one of the three days I had something happened to keep me from doing   
   that.   
      
   > I only insist on ewatching all in a franchise in order & usually in close   
   time  to each (I'll spend a week watching one a day maybe, or binge for a   
   weekend)   
      
     I use IMBd to get the dates on shows, unless its marked S01E01, etc.   
     Characters come and go, referenced later, etc and unless in order that   
   often makes no sense.   
     I can also watch the characters revolve and become defined as the one the   
   viewer came to know.   
     I'll watch two half hour shows but usually only one one hour show at a   
   time.  Unless the one hour show is a two parter.   
     I also like to watch the shows on the days they originally aired.   
      
   > Lots of good stuff out there I've not found yet. Can't find any free online   
   sources for older(pre-1980) TV series.    
      
     Almost all the shows I watch are pre-1990.  Unless its a particularly   
   long running program, such as Columbo, which went from the late '70s to the   
   mid-90s.   
     Plus a few shows I wasn't interested in during the '90s but am now.
