Back again
Hi and welcome to Steve Wiandt’s monthly blog. Just kidding. I’ve been bad about keeping up with my blog. And there were some technical difficulties that prevented me from blogging when I wanted to. But we’re back now and hopefully in the coming weeks I can add some interesting notes and pictures to brighten your day.
Did anyone see the TV Land Awards the other night? I’m not a big fan of the show but I usually watch at least part of it. I am not happy with the way TV Land network has added new programs including reality shows to their schedule. And the awards show always has current stars and they never give enough time for the old guys and gals. What was that tribute to Johnathan Winters — a bicentennial minute? I also have to admit I get a little sad when I see how my old favorites have aged.
Did anyone see Laverne and Shirley on the TV Land Awards? I used to watch that show every Tuesday night. That and its predecessor Happy Days. Keep an out on this blog for a cool picture of L&S from “back in the day” (I hate that saying).

I hear many young people under the age of say, 20, who use “back in the day” to describe anything that’s more than five years old. For instance: Were all movies like “The Matrix” back in the day? Geesh!
As for “Happy Days” and “Laverne and Shirley,” they were part of my required Tuesday night viewing on ABC, followed by “Three’s Company” and (I think) “Barney Miller.” A good night for TV — back in the day!
