YOU SAY 'HOPE.' I SAY THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING.

     One of my few moments of sheer joy and happiness is watching game shows because it brings me back to my days of childhood innocence.  When I was young game shows were all over daytime TV.  That's right kids;  no 'Baby Daddy' talk shows,  people masquerading as competent court judges or supposed 'soul baring' sessions with Dr. Phil.  Just real contestants and mostly B grade celebrities whose only objective was having fun.  Sounds downright quaint, eh?
     Well,  I've recently learned that the two breakout hits of last summer "$100,000 Pyramid" and "Match Game" have been renewed for a a second season with "Match Game" premiering on 1/4/17 along with the Anthony Anderson hosted "To Tell The Truth" that I have already not recommended for game show purists.  "Pyramid" will return whenever host Michael Strahan has a free moment from his other 37 hosting duties, one supposes.  Let the innocence return, if only for a few fleeting hours a week.  And if I'm asleep, make sure my blanket covers me.

RANDOM THOUGHT.

It's better to light a match than to curse the darkness.....especially after the defecating stench of yesterday's election.
