    Wow, Sisyphos… That Lady??? You talk like you don’t know who Grace the Face is.

    See Aug 18-19. Grace is 170 years old.

    The kind of girl you want to take home to meet the folks. It’s a good thing we can’t see any lower in the picture-he probably messed himself. Who wouldn’t understand?

    Well, judyparka, I speak from little Johnny’s perspective. I guess he wouldn’t know Grace….

    What was he watching before? It looks like Chippendale dancers on there.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    It’s Grace the Face!
    Quick, grap some mace,
    Spray it all over the place,
    Just in case.

    My knees are aching just looking at how he’s sitting. Can I say that or am I being rude again BURGUNDY2?

    If I could have watched that show, I would never have shut off the cable.

  18. plight

    Reminds me of The Ring

    Don’t look into her eyes! That’s how she drains your life energy.

  20. olivefoote

    olivefoote said, 2 months ago

    I think it’s too late. Grace has already taken over his mind.

  21. olivefoote

    olivefoote said, 2 months ago

    There are TWO Burgundys? Or is that Burgundies?

  22. Burgundy2

    Burgundy2 said, 2 months ago

    Actually, there’s three that I know of. Burgundy, Burgundy2 (yours truly) and Burgundytoo.

    Apparently, red wine is popular.

    And no, Burg, that wasn’t rude. I was thinking how kids used to sit like that all the time, but I seldom see that any more.

    Maybe that’s why my knees are so messed up now.

    I could have sworn that little girl is the one from the Addams Family…no?

  24. flyingflowerpot

    flyingflowerpot said, 2 months ago

    I like the big bolty things near the top of the set.

  25. painedsmile

    painedsmile said, 2 months ago

    I guess changing the channel isn’t an option. How many channels were there back then?

  26. sandboil

    sandboil said, 2 months ago

    Scoot back. You’re too close to the TV.

  27. tgaml

    tgamlGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    That looks like a great show.

  28. Margueritem

    MargueritemGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    BobWells: No, that’s not Wednesday Addams. It’s the face of a little girl taken from an old photograph. See Judy Parka’s comment above.

  29. Margueritem

    MargueritemGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    painedsmile: I can only speak for Chicago. We had CBS, channel 2, NBC, channel 5, and ABC, channel 7. We also had local channel 9 WGN, and PBS Channel 11.

  30. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

    Margueritem, Chicagoland still has all those plus a host of others, now, on broadcast TV (i.e., not cable). But since the changeover to digital transmission, reception is a bit dodgy ; if you [read: “I”] have indoor (“rabbit-ear”) antennas, you [read: “I”] may not be able to get all the stations that you [read:”I”] did on analog unless your TV set, your windows, the stars, and the Wizard of Oz are all lined up in perfect conjunction. (grumble, grumble)

    You wouldn’t have this problem if you made the switch to digital.
