Can you identify the names of these t.v. shows you (or your mom and/or dad) used to watch? If the title has one word, I will write the first letter followed by the correct (most of the time) number of blanks. If the title has more than one word, I will write one of the words and the blanks will indicate the number of other words. Or I may do a combination of both, I’m not sure. I’ll start out with an example of each. When both are guessed, I’ll add two more.

Dear Readers,
We all agree that reading is one of our favorited pastimes. But, I’m also interested in your other hobbies, activities, and interests. I ask that you respond in the comment box and write 3-5 other activities you enjoy. I suggest 3-5 because some of you might respond with 25 activities and make me (and some others) feel drab and boring. Your list might include caring for pets, cleaning the house, clubs, organizations, visiting grandkids, recent vacations, or favotite t.v. shows and/or movies. You do not have to list only dangerous and wild activities.
