I loved this program. I can still remember some of the best lines of dialogue even though I was only six years old the year it first aired. In one episode someone had a cold and the two ladies were discussing how to treat it. Verna Felton's character said, "You know what they say, 'feed a cold, feed a fever'"
Spring Byington's character said, "No, it's 'starve a cold, feed a fever'", and Verna Felton answered, "Oh I feed everything!"
The show depicted older people as being smart, fun, and admirable. Since I am now older then they probably were then, I appreciate that show very much these days.
