Is The Villages Really Better? And, Do The Developers Really Care?

- Some tough questions on today's show! Compared to other developments, is The Villages really better? Rapid growth and booming population make some wonder if the developers really care. Those and other questions plus Bubble Rap, Out and About and some crazy bloopers make this a fun episode.

The information in our videos is never guaranteed as accurate, but as our opinion. Please do your own research when it comes to important matters. We intend it as entertainment only.
Please consider spotlighting various clubs active in TV- we have seen the rowing, woodworkers, cardio drumming, but not many others. Consider: Creative arts, book discussion clubs, RC clubs, pickleball, line dancing etc. it would be nice to interview their leaders or participants.
Great idea!
So nice to see the video of Gizmo at the dog park! It brought me a lot of good thoughts!
Me too. I had to retake too make that was him❤ Blessed Memory❤
I think we need a "Golfing with Jerry" segment.
That would be a comedy!
I spent April in The Villages and bought a month's pass for the Fenney gym. The problem was not enough space or weights for the amount of people there. When I came home, my trainer asked me what the heck I was doing all month. 😂 I told him I couldn't get near the weights. Maybe the problem was that I was working and I needed to be there early in the morning.🤷♀️
That Peter Bernard IS darned handy!!!
I was hoping that Peter would actually show us how to remove the sprinkler head before cleaning the filter, seems like they’re hard to unscrew…Thanks for another awesome video, anything with Linda cracking up makes me laugh as well 😭👍
Hello. Just turn the top part counter clockwise. Cheers.
Enjoyed seeing Linda and Gizmo at the dog park! Great memories!
Glad you enjoyed it Laura!
Hello- we came to TV last October and really enjoy the activities and beauty that are available to us there. We came from a place that is very much into recycling. It seems just wrong to throw everyting into the trash, but they say it is all burned and turned into energy. Maybe could could look into this and maybe even take us on a virtual tour of the place that deals with all the trash in the Villages. It sounds to good to be true. Thanks for all the info you provide.
Luv you guys...So sweet to see "Gizmo" last Thursday and enjoyed seeing his tribute bench...i miss him and his cute segments and i know you miss him more. Linda, your accent gets more Southern every week. Thanks for your channel
LOL! I do live in the south now!
Jerry & Linda, that word jumbled was so easy this week My wife is blind and she got the jumble before I did
😆😆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆😆😆
I love your coordinating colors-the shirts!
not sure if this comment has already been made, but I believe it is important to understand the responsibilities within the Villages district management and the developer. The Districts, funded by the annual maintenance fee and the amenity fees, manages the rec centers and all common areas within completed districts. Each district has elected representatives responsible for the well being of the district. I believe right now, that would be district 1-12. This includes all flowers, tree trimming, etc. The Developer only has direct control of the Districts that are not completed and where they still own the common property. So it is not the developer that will determine the future of the current villages, it is us, the landowners, paying the fees, elected our district commissioners, and the skilled property management of the districts management office that will keep everything beautiful. The developer is only responsible for continuing to build new areas!
97 to 100° in Daytona yesterday driving around my Buick convertible with the top down. Clear blue sky, VERY hot.
Yes! Here too.
Good Morning! Love all your videos. Have been watching you and Linda for years! I’m a retired kindergarten teacher. I often wonder if both your teaching backgrounds have helped with your YT channel? You both know how to present material. It all takes planning. You both want all of us to learn! I give you both A+ 🍎🍎 Keep our lessons coming!
Thank you so much! We did enjoy teaching and we really enjoy presenting you this vlog.
We love Ski Beach ♥️
… great views over Lake Harris, especially at sunset.
Great ambiance, great menu and the park right next to it is a wonderful walk 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼
Glad to see Jerry was in a better mood this week :) , since we all know it wasn't Linda. Thanks for all your vids.
😆😅🤣😲🤣😅😆
Peter great job! 50 years in Florida I have never cleaned😂 sprinkler heads😂😂
Add a sand filter to your pump🎉🎉
re Peter's tip, knowing that swamp water is being used, why would homeowners NOT install a pre-filter ahead of the main solenoid? I'd assume they'd rather spend 10 minutes/yr maintaining the filters rather than 8-12 hours .... unless there's nothing better to do in the Villages.
Please be carefull around Raccoons they can be quite aggressive and can become a nightmare real fast. Great video.
We live in a Robson community (Pebblecreek) in Arizona. It is a quite smaller version of the Villages. We have fitness centers that are free to use (HOA fees) 36 pickleball courts, tennis courts, outdoor and indoor pools and softball. We have plenty of fitness classes with a small charge that you reserve online.
Another very enjoyable show. Peter's Bubble Wrap segments are great, but we live for the 'blopper segment'!! Thanks for your shows every week!
Our pleasure! Hello to you both!
Same here. The bloopers are the best, and how they react together is adorable!!!
Thanks folks. I have bloopers to, but I don’t put them here. 😅
❤❤❤❤❤
😆😅🤣😅😆
Enjoyed this episode- thank you so much 😊 loved the reviews on “out and about” and “Rain” It sounds amazing And Of course bubble wrap is always great! You definitely make Monday a fun day!
Glad you enjoy it, Lydia!
I'd say it was not too easy nor too hard. I guess it would be more middle of the road.🤣😂Leslie and I will be there for a week starting on May 18-25th would love to meet you both and maybe take you all out for lunch while we are there. Steve Richardson Louisville, KY
Howdy neighbors! Just reach out to us when you are here and if at all possible we will try to make it happen.
Thanks for the channel, guys! Great info on the sprinklers too! Hi from Summerfield.
When my wife or myself ask for your opinion of the taste of something, we both want an honest opinion. If it needs improvement, we need to know. Many times the answer is “Just leave it alone “.
Appreciate your views but 2 pensions is not the typical retiree..TV is unaffordable for most folks
Watching replay on Tuesday! You guys never get old! Love your humor. 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Potato salad has caused many beefs in our home for over 30 years. Few topics have created such family division!
😁😅🤣😅😁
Coming to TV's in just a few weeks for the month of June to look for a house to buy and I am already exhausted with the underqualified/misrepresenting mortgage brokers and ReAlaTors. According to them home prices are going up forever and they have never heard of a Florida state program for down payment assistance for disabled Veterans (even thought it is available to learn about online) and they have no interest in learning about it because they have a certification and have been doing it for 14 years and know everything. Think I might just rent a house for a year or so and wait for the market to adjust to the new rates.
Thank you both for another great show!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for the shout out! We love our home and life in TV! ❤️
I got the word puzzle this time!! Hooray! Hope you all have a blessed week…love your show, as always!!! 🎉❤🎉❤
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thanks for the shout out! 😊🎉
Got the Word Jumble! You both are so cute and funny. We really enjoy your videos! Thank You again and again. 😊
Yay! Thank you!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I love these so much!! I learn allot. I am tracking that we need to in cart range of the locations I want to frequent
Glad you like them!
Loved it Jerry and Linda as always!! Thank you for sharing with us, I always love watching and listening to you guys, that little twinge of a southern accent gets me every time.
Have a great week you two!!!

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Jerry, you never, never,never, fail to amaze me, it is just so much fun with you !! You make people happy!! I love it ❤
❤❤❤
Like your shirt today Jerry.
Paisano's is my favorite.
Pease stop plugging them. They are already crowded.❤❤❤❤.
We go at 3:30 for dinner so not to wait on line but it is worth the wait if you go later.
Those rolls are scrumptious.
Yes!
Great show and loved Peter's tips to clean sprinkler filters. I do have to say all this talk about potato salad is making me crave it. The ingredients are now on my shopping list. Can't wait to make some.
Let us know how it goes!
So excited for my first visit to Sumpter Landing this coming Sunday
See you when you get here!
The bloopers were hysterical this week! LOL! You two are so cute together!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Love the video, you guys are so funny, love you guys
❤❤❤
Great show, I really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
No pickles or relish in the potato salad. Just green onions and celery. LOL
My only son just moved to the Orlando area and this is giving me real incentive to schedule a lifestyle visit. Love your show. See you when I get there.
Sounds great!
Like both your outfits! Neat colors!
Thanks so much!
Great show, as always! Love the shirts, very colorful. We have seen the area of the jumble. ;) I'm the lady that sent the "glue". I hope it is working out for you. Y'all take care, keep doing an awesome job, and we hope to see you when we get there!
🏆🏆🏆❤❤❤🏆🏆🏆
Got it! That was easy! On our last visit we went there to see the progress.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Nice show today - thanks for posting 💙💜 I always enjoy your Monday shows and look forward to the helpful information that you two always provide‼️👏🏻 Peter’s tips are always interesting and helpful too - thanks Peter 🤩 You all have a great week - try to stay cool 🆒 😎🌞
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for another outstanding show. Love your shows.
Glad you like them!
Loved the food photos!!
Great advice on the sprinkler heads
Thank you.
Great video. Darn near choked on the bloopers. 😂 Sat on Gizmo’s bench this week. Great view of the pond. Love the plaque. Glad you put your web address on there so people who don’t know who Gizmo was will learn his story. ❤️🐾 Got the puzzle! 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, Kate!
Thanks for the video! Somehow, every week you two come up with a great show. Raccoons are very smart, but they can be little pests. And bubble wrap had some great advice on how to clean sprinkler heads.
Our pleasure!
Another great show ! Great tip on the sprinklers , raccoons they are so smart ,love the bloopers you’re so funny 😂 nice shirt, Jerry looks great ! See you Thursday
Glad you enjoyed it Mark!
Thank you.
Such great reminders of the joys of living here in TV! Remind us “bubble wrap” is about living in the “bubble” of TV and home advice, right? 😜
That is correct. And if you have an idea, please let me know.
@@tvman8 How about Lanai maintenance, Lanai flooring options, or how to clean the concrete for screened-in Lanai? (With frame rim you can’t just hose it out.) You can come practice on mine ;))) I did see you screen-clean one! Thanks Peter!
@@tvman8 I can't help feeling that people who think "Bubble WRAP" are missing out on half of the cleverness in your name: *Rap* -- _talk_ -- about "The Bubble".
Maybe, you need Jerry to make you a 'still' opener, like "Shout Outs" and "Out and About" have...
(...and Jerry: You don't have to thank me for making more work for you. Always happy to oblige, My Friend! 😉 🙂 )
Very cool and colorful tops today. Sad the planes end up in salvage but nothing lasts forever. Raccoon poo is the worst lol. TV does seem to offer EVERYTHING, I was looking for a friend's Mom, and really NOTHING like it in SoCal. There's some super expensive condos, a few that have single homes, nothing like the scale of TV amenities anywhere here. According to the WHO, you are not old, you are just post-working. They didn't specify what parts aren't working. Thanks for a great video ❤
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
If golf, swimming, pickleball and the like are included, gyms should certainly be included. A little bit of price gouging I think.
Thanks Jerry and Linda, you guys do fantastic work!!
Thank you, Janet!
Jerry, I love your shirt today! Also, have you considered putting out #shorts? Your bandit video is perfect for that!
The return on shorts is miniscule, but they are fun to watch. If I have extra time I may try that.
Nice video today! Jerry has an amazing Sweetcorn Shirt 😂
😁😁😁😁😁
Loved your show today (as always) Jerry and Linda... just one problem...you made me hungry with all those yummy pictures of that delicious food! I had to go get a snack LOL! BTW Linda, the secret to a good spaghetti sauce is plenty of garlic, fresh basil, and a good parmesean cheese (I saute onions with the garlic also) Take it from a full blooded Italian. you'll love it! Have a great week, love you guys, and thank you for the smiles! 🍝😊💙
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Loved the colors of your shirts today. Your bloopers are so funny! I had a raccoon on my front porch a couple of nights ago. Linda, I like dill relish in my potato salad.
Sounds great!
Plenty of blooper laughs this week! 😂😂
Question for Linda…do the villages hold garage sales? By the way absolutely love your videos and bloopers. See you when we get there!! Lorraine & Gilbert
Yes they do! See you when you get here!
We really like Sonny Barbeque baked beans as well as OhShucks baked beans & their fried green beans!! We so enjoy Ski Beach & McCracken’s food too!! We do love Roberto’s food too & their calzones are epic too! We do enjoy Piesano’s too as well as RJ Gators. We pray that the owners family always stay invested in excellence as TV grows🙏🙏Thanks for the ShoutOuts too❤️😍🥰😘We so love your biweekly shows so much❣️❣️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great show. Linda can put as much mustard as she wants in my potato salad. Great segment Peter. Good idea that anyone can do, not just in The Villages. We hope to see you guys in August. We are very excited to get back. We are renting a designer home that includes the 4 passenger golf cart with it. I hate the big mirrors as well. I've put on almost 60 pounds since I injured my leg a couple years ago. Feeling kind of ugly right now. The only thing good about that injury is that we found you guys on TH-cam.
❤❤❤
Another fun show. Thanks.
Our pleasure!
Got it. Beautiful area with some very unique homes compared to our usual neighborhoods.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Love watching you two!!!! Great shows always!!!! We have a home down in Dabney right now which we will be down at the end of the month. We made reservations on June 1st for the show Fleetwood Max, a tribute band of Fleetwood Mac. They are playing at Belle Glade CC. Would love for you to join us if you are interested. See ya when we get there!!!!!
Sounds great!
Shalom J& L I thoroughly enjoyed your show today. The blooper section had me rollin. Your shows get better and better. I wanted to know if there are any Jewish groups there or synogues off site but close and if you have already done a show on what religously is available in TV. Thank you for all you do. I hope to get there❤😊
We will check into that.
Omg u 2 are so funny,I watch because u all are from my state,have no interests in villages,your kids are there so smart for u all to move.I only like FL a few months throughout the year,otherwise a no go.Also love the clothing choices today,classy.On back porch looking over 8 acres drinking coffee.Keep on with your adventures❤❤❤
That sounds nice, Connie.
HI jerry and Linda, I have an additon for the Bubble Wrap on these sprinkler heads. I would recomend getting some extra screen filters, maybe 24. Then when you are cleaning them, you can just take out the dirty one and replace it with a clean one. This would be quicker and keep you from having to get up and down and going to clean them then, going back to put it in. Then soak the dirty ones in vineger or cleaner so they are ready next time.
Thanks for the tip!
The developer/family will keep things going as long as it's profitable. At the end of the day, they're running a business. As long as they have undeveloped land, they'll keep everything top notch. It'll be interesting once all their land is built out, i would assume at that point they'll either sell or, more likely, start re-buying home/land in the older areas, knock down the homes and start redevelopment all over again.
Good morning Linda & Jerry! I love that you keep your bloopers in your vlogs. Today's really cracked me up. Thanks for all the great info!!
Thank you so much for watching.
My favorite part of the show!
❤❤❤
Linda, love the talk on potato salad. One of my neighbors, for some reason, loved my potato salad. Personally, I didn’t think it was anything special, but so much better than those in restaurants. My husband does not like to crunch in uncooked onions so what I started doing was put the cut up onions in the pot with the potatoes when boiling. I also put the unboiled eggs at the same time I boil the potatoes. Saves time. My mother used to put a little vinegar in her salad after they’re cooked so I started doing that. It could be a substitute for the mustard Jerry doesn’t like. I also use mayo, Kraft of course, cut up Vlasic sweet gherkin pickles, salt and pepper. Now I’m hungry. See you when we get there!
😁😁😁😁😁
Green or black olives in potato salad-YUM
I learned years ago from my mom, we are southerners, mix all ingredients in a bowl before adding it to your potatoes, it prevents you from over mixing and making the potatoes mushy. Potatoes, mayo and a little mustard, salt and pepper, sweet pickles and chopped boiled eggs and you can always add either green onions or regular onion but a very small amount and don't forget the chopped celery. Great show as always.
Thanks for sharing, great idea!
Oh, I forgot to mention 😉I put a little green onions in mine too.
Great idea to premix everything before taters. And I put my homemade sweet pickles ;) for that special touch!
mayo: 😝
I love watching your videos.
❤
Honesty is the best policy for food unless it’s the do I look fat in this test. Great as always have a great week.
FYI: In case you missed it- Clarkson's Farm Season 3 is now airing on Prime. We are wondering if the newest generation of Morse family members will be as resident focused once they have taken the reins from their parents. We'll see as they begin making more of the decisions.
We are ahead of you on that one, we love Clarkson's Farm.
Maiden Last name of HRH Catherine!! I laughed my butt off when you were fake pulling the hair out of Linda's mouth!!!! Funny!!!
😁😁😁
Got it. Took a few minutes 😂 Great show as always
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
STOP…we laughed so hard at the Bloopers and I just had my appendix out….OUCH! Easy jumble. Like that shirt Jerry!
😲😲😆😆😆😆😆😆😲😲
We hope you are doing well!
My granddaughter Grace is watching with me this am. She is one. Haha
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I love an optional illusion. She lucky.
😄😄😄😄😄
Green olives in potato salad….. yes!
Hi Jerry & Linda, If you liked RAIN, you’ll love the live music performed by some of the finest musicians of the villages. BeatleManiacs perform every Friday morning from 10-12 at the Odell recreation center. We play an album of the month broken down to perform 4 or 5 songs each week. Then we open it for the audience to ask us to perform any Beatles song they wish to hear. See you when you get here!
We are coming, but not this week. Thank you Bob!
We can’t rely on The Villages for our personal happiness. We have to seek and find our own happiness❤
Yes!
You take yourself with you wherever you go so we are each responsible for our own happiness.
Yes, to green olives in the potato salad. I use the canned potatoes to make my potato salad. It is so much easier and they are the right consistency.
Thanks for the tips.
Great show as always. Happy Monday. 😊
I can my own pasta sauce every summer. #25 tomatoes usually makes 6-7 quarts of tomato sauce. 🍅 I use Mrs. Wages seasoning packets.
You are talented to be able to do your own.
You mentioned that you ate out so much this week that you will need a new belt or a new scale haa! Did you hear this one: “What did the zero say to the eight? Answer: Nice belt!!”
😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆
Got it! Linda, I put finely diced radishes in my potato salad.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thanks for another great show! Always enjoy starting my week off with Jerry & Linda. Have a good week😘
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Potato salad...NO pickles or mustard but green olives, egg and lots of onions are a must!
So good!
Regarding the potato salad…….besides potatoes I put chopped bread & butter pickles, cut up cucumbers, cut up fried smoked sausage, onions, an apple,bell peppers and eggs in and I use Mayonnaise & vinegar, pepper. I don’t use salt, not needed.
Thanks for the tips!
Linda, I steam my potatoes so they don’t get mushy and I use sweet pickle relish , a little mustard, sorry Jerry and miracle whip, not mayonnaise, and hard boiled eggs.
Thanks for the tip
Do you have watering restrictions in The Villages? By the way, I only like potato salad that is made with sour cream, red potatoes, onion, dill, and salt and pepper. Definitely no eggs!!!
Love your shirt Jerry
Thank you Vicki!
My husband is dead set against living in TV. Just as he was dead set against cruising and now I can’t get him to do anything else. I WILL talk him into a life style visit…I’m counting on him changing his mind. ;) 10 years to retirement…and counting down. See you when we get there! lol
We have heard that story before! 🙂🙂🙂
