About Me:    Have been on the board for a number of years. Not much of a filmgoer but very much enjoy vintage/classic TV comedies such as Our Miss Brooks, Car 54, Where Are You?, The Lucy Show, Bewitched, Get Smart, The Odd Couple and The Bob Newhart Show as well as the Britcoms Dad's Army, Only Fools and Horses and People Like Us. Basically a guy of simple tastes and fairly uncomplicated lifestyle.
