Vera (from Alice)
Shows I was watching in the seventies is my theme for the A-Z challenge this April.
There have been at three times that I have had a "Vera and her straws" moment, and none of those times found me in the company of people old wise enough to get the reference. You remember though, right? Here's a little refresher, as well as a great theme song.
Alice had her act together, so well-equipped to take on burly Mel, scattered Vera and sassy Flo. Look at that hottie of a son, Tommy (for anyone with a girl crush on Jo from Facts of Life, requests answered for Nancy McKeon to have a brother). Alice worked so hard to raise him, despite roadblocks for her own singing career dreams.
I had to cheat a little bit on this one, but I don't mind. Kiss my grits!
"When Pigs Fly", I still use that one today. Great show.
ReplyDeleteI loved that show. Great cast. Did you ever see the original movie from which the show was spun?
ReplyDeleteI caught some episodes and enjoyed it, but I was a little young and don't remember it too much now. -http://50andfabulousblog.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAnother classic. There used to be a diner in town where we went often. There was a tall lanky waitress and we always referred to her as Flo. Lol
ReplyDeleteI saw no cheating - this was an awesome V post.
ReplyDeleteYou've really stirred up my childhood TV watching days. This was one of those shows that had value to it.
