channel seems to have become the Michael Jackson Tribute Network, with a
parade of hulks, nannies, nurses, doctors, lawyers, vultures and
thieves. At most, there's five seconds worth of information, but it sets
of a tizzy of analysis and speculation that just doesn't end...
He's dead. We know. Let's move on to the real news...

Wow, what news do you watch, cuz I've seen plenty of other news.
There's a fire in Castiac, they haven't passed a state budget, a

To be fair, he represented the youth of a lot of people. He was excellent
back in the 80s. I felt sorry for him as he aged and tried to get as far
away from who he was, physically, as possible. Sad man/boy.

I agree with you Moni. Personally, even tho I wouldn't say I was a fan
of MJ, I am actually pretty interested at all the news and tributes to
him and have followed a fair amount myself. Of course, I do understand
where jewahe is coming from and for those who don't care for this type
of constant coverage I'm sure it can be a bit frustrating.
I too felt sorry for the man. I see a very sad person when I look at
and listen to him. I don't think he lived the life of Riley some think
he did.

It's not bothering me either, and I am not a huge fan....though it has
taken his death for me to grasp the *scope* of his fame and just how
iconic he was. Being the Elvis lover, I never wanted to put him in the
same category...but he's pretty damn close.
It has been enlightening to me...I've changed some views I had on him
from it....plus, I love seeing him little again. ;-) I love the
Jackson 5.
Did anyone see the clip they showed of the time he was blindfolded and
taken to the grocery store to shop? They took off his blindfold and
he was so excited! He said, "Oh, this is so cool! I never get to do
this." It broke my heart....

prove just the opposite.

you rather have problems and be poor and then die, or have problems

That may be true....but I think sometimes being rich can temporarily
mask what one's real problems are. When you're poor, you don't have
all that money and all those things keeping you from facing the issues
in your life. You don't have money to seemingly "buy your way" out of
your problems. It seems to me that (in some cases) the richer you
are, the bigger your problems can be...
But I know what you mean... I definitely rather be rich than poor.
(Yet, still stay the wonderful person I am today.) :-) HEE

I think the problems that the rich have are different than us poor
folk have. If you want to have problems and be rich then I really hope
you win the lottery or become the next MJ when you release your new
CD. For me, I'll stay the poor, unknown peon I am - invisible, left
alone, happy with my little family in obscurity. Thank ewe - thank ewe

I've never been rich monetarily but I know from reading stories about
people who suddenly came into wealth that their lives often became
screwed up. Money can do a lot of good but often times I really DO
think it's the root of all evil. But hey - hear that different

I used to love Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies and Green
Acres!
Petticoat Junction was more closely related to Green Acres; they
shared a lot of characters in common. In fact, PJ was located on the
outskirts of Hooterville. The creator/producer also produced GA and
BH, and thy occasionally crossed characters over on all three shows.
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petticoat_Junction
The show was set in the same fictional universe as the rural
television comedy Green Acres, also set in Hooterville. Both shows
shared such characters as Sam Drucker, Newt Kiley, and Floyd Smoot. A
number of core Green Acres characters, such as Fred and Doris Ziffel,
Arnold the Pig, Newt Kiley, and Ben Miller, actually got their "start"
on Petticoat Junction in the 1964-1965 season, which saw a number of
scripts written by Acres creator Jay Sommers. Characters on all of
Henning's creations sometimes "crossed over" into one another's
programs, especially during the first two seasons of Green Acres. In a
1968 episode ("Granny, the Baby Expert"), Granny from The Beverly
Hillbillies comes to Hooterville to tend to Betty Jo and Steve's baby.
Granny looks at a picture of Kate and is astonished at her resemblance
to Jed's cousin, Pearl Bodine (previously played by Benaderet), and
prior to her visit to Hooterville, reminded Jed that he was related to
Kate through Pearl. Other crossover shows include one where the
Clampetts, Milburn Drysdale, and Miss Jane spend both Thanksgiving and
Christmas of 1968 in Hooterville on The Beverly Hillbillies and a 1970
episode of The Beverly Hillbillies in which Mr. Drysdale thought that
billionaire Howard Hughes lived in Hooterville (the man turned out to
be Howard Hewes, who owned the Hooterville airport).
