Kathy and I -- while watching the show --- felt so proud that we live in The Villages. It is a dream come true for us (we first vacationed here in 2006, but couldn't retire and move here until 2013).

The show was 8 min. long. Just wish they could have added 2 more minutes to show some of the housing being built. They probably did film it, but it got cut in the editing room (that's happens in the media business).

In advance, I emailed our family and some friends "up north" to watch this special. A couple of them wrote back and said they really enjoyed it.

All in all, we loved the show. I didn't know there was a TV Club for dancing dogs. Now I've heard it all!

I missed it too, glad to have the link. Thanks!

Sent the link to both are Moms up north thanks. One of them is 92 she got it watched with in 15min. She is amazing!

What qualifications does Blechman have to ligitimize his opinion of The Villages?

They have vendors who actually go into the water and retrieve balls. Would you want to be one of these people who dive for golf balls into the water here!

The US census taken a few years ago had the median age at 68. It may be a little higher now although of course most of the new people moving to TV are younger than that.

Yes---thank-you for the link

I want to keep this video. It's not on Youtube. I do not have a DVR.

Has anyone tried saving the video in their computer or knows how? I see there is some software that may work but unless I am sure it is malware free I don't experiment. I have Windows 8.

I showed it to my boss at work today. He knows my last day is August 31, 2015 and we move to our home in TV full time the next week.

He was impressed.

Saved it on my DVR
 

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the report on The Villages. I have saved it on my DVR, so I can replay it every day this winter when the snow is falling...

resend the link please; i did not get to watch this.
thanks.

Here it is kiddo. I love this.

In Play: The Villages Golf Retirement Community | Golf Channel

Judy and I thank you. We don't get Golf Channel so was great for us;)

That one particular show started our move to TV.

We just sat down and out of all the channels to chose, I turned the Golf Channel on and there was the show. We have a lot on a golf course in Bella Vista, AR and had already picked out our retirement home plans for there. The wife looked at me after the show and said "let's go visit there".

Now, we're the type to research everything to the nth degree, have a myriad of conversation's about it and then maybe, just maybe, move forward with it. I went to work the next day and about mid-morning, she called and said "we have reservations down there".

And so, the journey began. We made the trip and the wife cried like a baby when we had to leave; she said she has never felt as safe as TV made her feel. So, after about 2 months of looking at homes on thevillages.com, we purchased a home in St. James and will close on it later this month.

Fantastick.....you won't regret it:wave:
