tv star collector 11-05-2007, 07:04 PM Yeah, I left out some classic shows, too ... mainly because in the fifties and
early sixties we only got good reception on one channel in our area. So, it
was years later in either syndication or on cable channels like TV Land that
I discovered such golden age gems as:
I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Phil Silvers Show (a.k.a. Sgt. Bilko)
Gilligan's Island

OH Nuts! 11-06-2007, 11:44 PM Gosh I've seen so many shows when the first came on. But I'm going to focus on the 70s. It was mindblowing wathcing All In The Family when it first came on. I was 15. It was like something from some other planet--BUT IN A GOOD WAY. No TV show ever dealt with controversial topics so directly and in such a refreshingly HONEST & INTELLIGENT way. This show in particular has a special place in my heart.
And there were so many other great 70s shows, though not in the same stellar range as AITF.
