Good Morning and welcome to another Thankful Thursday. I hope that you have had an amazing week so far.

It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live." So as you go about your day, take a few minut...

It was only a one-minute sketch — but it sparked the beginning of what would become the longest-running scripted TV show in U.S. history.
