If you saw Howdy Doody in person, you are my hero. That was my childhood dream..unfulfilled. Maybe that's the basis of my adult issues?:laugh:

Favorite Television Show:

--must be The Golden Girls because I can watch the same ones, over and over. Great lines. I liked it when it started, but now I understand everything they are talking about. (but I wish they would get rid of that stupid laugh track.)

Favorite Movie:

Body Heat - Set in Florida. Steamy Florida. And Kathleen Turner is so wicked and William Hurt does not know what hit him. (And I cannot remember if Body Heat is based on an old movie from maybe the 40's. It has that feel to it. I know there was a remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice but that one used the same title.)

Well, here I am digressing all over the place, early in the morning. So I only got two categories taken care of.

And I just noticed that both of the favorites are set in Florida. And Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorite authors. - I know that was not a question. - just noticing there is a pattern here. Speaking of patterns. I have got to stop digressing....for this morning anyway.

Mark.

I like your choices. Mine are more current, but I am younger than you.

AND I so agree with you as far as best act...I have never laughed so hard or so frequently as I have with the clever, witty, hilarious, outrageous,hysterically funny people I have met in The Villages.
