What I Watch to Relax


Yesterday, I shared with you what I am currently reading to kick back a bit. One of the other things I enjoy is laughing - laughing while watching old TV sitcoms is especially fun. My DVR records a couple of old sitcoms every day. From time to time, I sit down and watch an episode or two.

This week I watched a couple of old The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart episodes. He is so very funny!

I also watched an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies entitled Getting Settled. The youtube clip of the funniest part of this episode is above. The clip includes two great scenes: 1) the Clampetts can't figure out why it is that every time music chimes someone comes to the door, and 2) Jed Clampett invests in stock. Jethro chases the music. Mr. Drysdale encourages Jed to invest some of his fortune in stock. Problems emerge in the difference between what a banker thinks stock is and what a farmer from the hills thinks stock is.

Just click and enjoy the clip. It might be good for some of us to relax and laugh a bit regarding stocks - after a week where the stock market dipped 18%!

Shawn, I 'knew' you watched The Beverly Hillbillies. Do you have any Clampetts in your family tree? :)
