Before I learned of all the evil in the world, I use to never miss an episode! Now decades later it can take me back and I enjoy a simple slice of life with real problems and real friends for real people. Everything right as rain in 30 minutes or less.

Love the show but only able to download the last 12 minutes of the show. First thing I ever bought on Google and I got screwed.
