  1. Good Morning, Everyone…📺🐶 TV WAS GOING TO THE DOGS 🐶📺

    🎶 I’ll be DOGGONE if you ain’t a pretty thing (Baby)…And I’ll be DOGGONE if you ain’t warm as a breath of spring, uh, Baby…🎶 “I’ll Be Doggone” – Marvin Gaye 1965  https://tinyurl.com/mrx9s853

    📺🐶It STOOD for Family Values, ‘54 to ‘73,
    And took Folks by a SUDDEN shock when it went off TV…
    You heard things like…”Heaven FORBID they could have kept it on”,
    (And GOUGE goes to the dogs today…it just doesn’t belong)
    A show for all the ages…Lassie proved she had true grit…
    So on that night in ‘73…viewers said…”DOGGONE IT”…🐶📺

    “Lassie” https://tinyurl.com/muuvdsm6 was a TV show that ran from 1954 to 1973. And it stands to reason that within a span like that, it would have fans from two generations. So I guess we can see why the Dad would have a BONE to pick…

    Today…March 25th, 1973… (yes, obviously a typo when this puzzle was reLEASHed for publication)…and we find ourselves in a living room…anywhere, USA. And on TV…the final episode of Lassie. After this…the DOG will be GONE…And if that much given to us in our question wasn’t enough for you to FETCH today’s solve, the dialogue, voicing exasperation, “I can’t believe this”, and irritation,…”Geez, that’s not fair”, translating to = “DOGGONE”…I think you’re going to have to SIT down and rethink your Jumbling skills….because COLLAR whatever you’d like, but I think you may be headed for the DOGhouse over this one. Our solve? Viewers said…DOGGONE IT https://tinyurl.com/2m6ampu4

    Jeff’s💎Gems? The “Rabbit Ears” https://tinyurl.com/nhftszk5 and the old console TV  https://tinyurl.com/mr223trm …classic. The well showing in the background on screen?… https://tinyurl.com/mryhsb5k …A DOG-eared, long running joke…But something has me stumped. Wasn’t Lassie always the pet of a boy? Yet here we have her being hugged by a girl. I mean, I’ve no intention of being PETulant or anything, but I just don’t GNAW what to make of the girl…🤷🏻‍♀️

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe..And this puzzle reminds me of my friend who swears he taught his dog to fetch him glasses of wine…He’s a BORDEAUX COLLIE…🐶📺🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🚛 After the truck from the “DOGGONE IT” pet supply company caused a GOUGE in the street, right where they STOOD, the SUDDEN decision was made to FORBID vehicles of that size from entering…🚛

    🤦🏻‍♂️Heaven FORBID they STOOD their ground and just banded together,
    Against the insane pricing GOUGE of their needed fine leather…
    Too SUDDEN had it come about…they’re left with scraps and bits…
    It’s no wonder the battle cry is now “Oh, DOGGONE IT”! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  4. 📺 Back then before VCR’s hit,
    Missing TV shows caused quite a fit…
    People gathered each night,
    At TVs…black and white…
    So they wouldn’t miss one little bit…📺

    🐶Lassie had herself quite a fan base,
    People fell in love with that sweet face…
    And they’d sit ‘fore their set,
    But most times feel regret…
    When Lassie’d be off on a chase…🐶

    🐶…Seems like Timmy would always get caught,
    In some situation causing fraught…
    But Lassie’d go get help,
    With her bark and her yelp…
    As she raced for the aid Timmy sought…🐶

    📺 And for years this is how the show went,
    Viewers tuned in 100%…
    Til that one day in Spring,
    A last show proved to bring…
    An ending against all consent…📺

    1️⃣9️⃣Shy of twenty years…it bid adieu,
    Leaving so many viewers quite blue…
    But she had a good run,
    Before they said “Doggone”…
    And replaced it with a show anew…1️⃣9️⃣

  5. One of the regular TV shows I watched growing up was Lassie ! And this jumble was a classic ! The anagrams were all there and the jumble was as comforting and loyal as Lassie was ! I’m gonna get me some tacos for this excellent taco-Tuesday solve ! What a great one today , starting off with Marvin Gaye song ! It was real good ! Your reminiscing of the Lassie TV show ! Man I watched it every day , and was really disappointed it went off the air ! And Angela your friend and his wine and Jeff’s Gems made this one a one to file and remember ! Thanks for a very entertaining jumble !!!!!

  6. Yes, today was a very entertaining Jumble…and easy enough that I don’t have to rethink my Jumble skills….just yet, anyway. An easy blind solve followed by fairly easy anagrams made today a real confidence booster. Great Marvin Gaye song, too. And yes, it was Timmy’s dog, for sure. Thanks for a great post. Terry

  7. Got the anagrams but the cartoon escaped me, “Doggone it!” Chuck.

  8. This ole lady is back in biz no prob got it all good bye have a nice day EL

  9. When over the years it appears

    A TV show that to millions endears

    Then the creators turn round

    And decide that they’ll ground

    It’s enough to reduce you to tears!
