Default Your Top 10 Shows from the 50s

1. Alfred Hitchcock Presents
2. I Love Lucy/The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour
3. Bachelor Father
4. The Jack Benny Program
5. Ozzie and Harriet
6. Leave it to Beaver

I haven't seen as many shows from the 50s, so I can't make a complete top 10 on this one.

You might find this hard to believe, but I only have two favorites of the 50s-- M Squad, which you mentioned above as #6 on your list, and Perry Mason.
