There are only two more episodes of the Musicals Series put together by me and Annie - today's is a re-record of our favorite musicals that were released before 1980: what Annie and I consider to be The Classic musicals. These were the shows that our parents had us watching in elementary school thanks to a couple of things...

First of all, for some movies, watching them on network television was a complete and total EVENT. And I have a memory of THE SOUND OF MUSIC being one of those Sunday night events - maybe it was Easter, maybe not...but when the commercials would announce these films coming on during Prime Time, we made plans.

And, of course, we had one of the first VCRs in our neighborhood - the very large BetaMax machine that weighed about a hundred pounds (kidding) and had no remote control. My dad would record and watch the movie sitting right by the machine so he could edit out the commercials by pressing "pause." it was NOT an exact science, LOL. But since video rental stores were still a couple of years or so from becoming a "thing," that's what we had. And the BetaMax tapes with all the stuff recorded from Prime Time television were a staple of the Mayer Children during our youth.

Anyway - we would love to know what you think of our lists, so please send us an email at [email protected] and tell us your thoughts. You can also pitch a Top Five idea to us, or volunteer to be one of the co-hosts. If you leave us a rating and review, maybe we'll read yours during the next episode!
