If you could choose a country...
I think it would be The Cousins although Hiveless sounds pretty nice too.
The Cousins evolved out of a social club for people who had to travel alone, who would meet up with a volunteer “Cousin” who would show them around a new place, and offer hospitality, so in the beginning they were just run by a volunteer board and a suggestion box
and now I had to buy Too Like the Lightning: A Novel

Please tell me The Patty Duke Show theme song isn't the national anthem of The Cousins.
ReplyDeleteok :)
ReplyDeleteI once had a Canadian roommate who said the Patty Duke Show had never aired in your country. If that is true, it may account for Canada's higher quality of life and lower crime rates!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it and I'm pretty old. 😁
ReplyDeleteIts premise is "identical cousins." The theme song features that term loud and dawn out. In the early '60s, it seemed like typical American TV silliness of that era. Then, in a more intense time, some cynics started asking, "How can cousins be identical, as in twins?" The answer is the creepy genetic reality that their parents would have to be siblings. Yeeech! The show certainly was not implying that. It was squeaky clean. Patty Duke, who was from a very dysfunctional real life family, loved the show, saying it filled in as a family structure for her. The theme song, though not hiding any lurid double meaning, stands as the most preposterous TV ditty ever. Still everyone sings it when Patty, or sometimes the subject of cousins are mentioned. At a 10-year high school reunion in 1986, someone remarked how my cousin David and I looked much alike (we had not resembled each other much in high school). You bet, I started to sing the Patty Duke theme.
