I Love This Show Because I Suffer with Depression and Anxiety and This Show it Makes Me Laugh and Feel Good, and Before it's over I been Done Forgot What Had Me So Depressed. The Same Goes for Bewitched and I Love Lucy. These Shows have Kept Me From Comiting Suicide, Many Times in My Life Time. I'm 61 yrs Old Now and I Wish T.V. Stations Would Air The Programs. I've Never been able to Afford Cable TV, nor Ruku..Ect..♥️
