Sad moments of TV





by iteach

Today I was thinking of the saddest memories on TV and the happiest ones. I thought today I would share you my saddest memory on TV and tomorrow my happiest one.

Some of you might already be thinking of the last episode of MASH or JFK's funeral. However, mine is a little different. It was one that happened when I was a child and it has forever stuck in my mind. It was the day Mr. Hooper died on Sesame Street. He really did pass away and Sesame Street decided to incorporate it into their show.

I know that it is not fun to talk about sad moments, but I do believe they make us stronger. I think I was able to understand death more as I watched it from Big Bird's eyes.

The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Just_Lin said...

MEK I'm waiting for the gymnastics.

Just_Lin said...

Oh, good. Gymnastics.

Dianne/Denver said...

You are right MEK...I forgot about Miss Universe!

Boy, the Olympics were sure good tonight. I almost started to cry there too!

I cooked tonight for my daughter's family. I don't cook much and it even turned out good and I had never tried it before. The kids said to there dad, "this is good and you said Nana couldn't cook." As luck would have it, one of Tammy's friends will be bringing dinner tomorrow night -Yay!!

Just_Lin said...

Dianne Congrats on your dinner success.

My husband, the police lieutenant, used to cry for the winners of Miss America, Miss USA, etc. He'd get all teary, then look over at me because he knew I'd be looking at him with a WTF? expression, then we'd both start laughing.

Just_Lin said...

I think everyone is concentrating on the Olympics so I will, too. Have a good night everyone. See you all tomorrow.

DreamaTexas said...

whabbear said...

Tina~in_ut said...

well freaking mother of pearl~ ITEACH!!!!! I just now got to watch that video....I had never seen it....AND IT MADE ME CRY!!!!! dang it woman~ :)

Tina~in_ut said...

OMG!!!! People!!!! Please don't let Zona write about her happiest tv moment tomorrow....she just told me what it is and I'm going to vomit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously~

sacBarb said...

Well, I'm back. Who is still up?

Hart & Zona, The production of Hairspray was very good and I get to do it again next week. This is the last show of the summer season.

Hart, What a shame your friend is out of sick leave. Is there no catastrophic leave program where other employees can donate time to her? We have a very successful program like that for state employees and it has saved many employees from going under when a lengthy illness occurred.

J/L, Glad your computer is fixed. Did you have to talk to someone in India?

Zona, I can't believe a 'friend' would send you a card with no stamp. Did you have to pay the postage? How embarrassing! BTW, not sure about the 'pot pie' code.

Tina, congrats on your two-fer.

Dianne, I'm so happy that Tammy got good news.

I think I'll go to bed. Good night and sweet dreams everyone.

Tina~in_ut said...

goodnight sacbarb~

sacBarb said...

BTW Zona, you have MS mail.

sacBarb said...

Good night Tina.

hartldo said...

sacbarb: Thank you for your concern about my friend. About catastrophic leave, I guess there isn't anything like that in our school system. I wouldn't really know because I don't have any benefits through them. All my five jobs there are part time jobs. One thing that is hurting her is that she's not in the teacher's union. She is eligible for some reduced insurance, I guess. Someone said that would cost her $1200 out of pocket every month that she's off work. We've taken up a collection and we're paying the first month, but we have to come up with some fundraisers from now on.

Well, I'm up getting ready for my first day back on the job!
"Talk" to y'all later!

Tina~in_ut said...

Have a great day, Hart~ And happy birthday~

Tina~in_ut said...

oh....what the heck~

Tina~in_ut said...

ya know i'm gonna go for it~

Tina~in_ut said...

269~

Tina~in_ut said...

yay....three-fer~

hartldo said...

Thanks for the birthday wishes Tina! And Congrats on 269!!! :)

jigglin' in jax said...

flap, flap, flap....thud.

Hmmm....these wings aren't working. I'm taking the elevator.

Morning Owls!
Whew, it's crowded up here in the nest.
Oops, sorry....whose toes did I step on? *peers down*
ACK! I'd know those feet anywhere....Birdee's scrawny little chicken feet! Blah! 8-P
...and still in her stillettos!
The sun is up, I thought business hours were over Birdee? ;)
~
Happy Birthday Hartldo!
May all your dreams come true!
