A Message From George Carlin

THe paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, woder freeways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read to little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to liofe but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom. but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, step profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window but nothing in the stock room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or hit delete.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember to say 'I Love You' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the breaths we take , but by the moments that take our breath away.

Watch Trouble With Father on TVS Comedy.Com

What TV Show Was THe First to be Shot on Film? No, not I Love Lucy!

The Hollywood folklore (most self generated over the years) always served up the notion that Desi Arnaz 'invented' the 3 camera TV shoot as a way to have his show made on film so he and Lucille Ball could produce the show in Hollywood instead of New York.

Balderdash!

The first TV show to utilize film was done by the General Mills folks, who made Life With Father, or as it was sometimes called The Stu Irvin Show. Stu Irvin is now long forgotten 60 years after that fact, but at the time he was a prized catch for the fledgling TV industry. He had been a decent film star in the 1940's, and he was a big name for the small screen at the time.

It was a full two years later that I Love Lucy 'invented' the process!

You can watch Life With Father on TVS Comedy.Com, which is the Comedy Channel for TV4U.Com, the 48 channel IPTV network.

Watch Hank McCune Show on TVS Comedy.Com

Hank McCune Show on TV4U.Com Was First to Use A Laugh Track.

There are two interesting items regarding the long forgotten Hank McCune Show.

The first is that it was one of the first efforts in the business by a young lawyer from Iowa named Samuel Arkoff. Arkoff later made his mark on American culture by helming American International Pictures a few years later, bringing us Roger Corman, Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon, the start for Jack Nicholson and Peter Bogdonovich, and revivals of the careers of Vincent Price and Boris Karloff.

His first mark on the culture was equally impressive. He saw that the dreadful Hank McCune Show was far from funny, so he dubbed in a laugh track to 'help' the audience know when to laugh. Viola! The laugh track was born!

Watch Mickey Rooney Show on TVS Comedy.Com

Mickey Rooney Still Gets the Viewers on TV4U.Com!
