I broke up your list to read easier.

Wow, that's some list. Donna Reed is on Catchy Comedy, Patty Duke and Joey Bishop are on Nost TV which was Classic Rerun TV. You can watch that channel on line.

The other choices are a nice mix of stuff. Hot L Baltimore was one of the best offers from Norman Lear. He and She was one of the first "smart" comedies which is where The Mary Tyler Moore Show probably derived from.

The Little People was also known as The Brian Keith Show. I had to look that one up since I never knew it from the original name.

One more to add could be Mister Ed.

As to the above series, to keep it on topic, I know that to show any and all of them would require a deal with whomever has the rights to the programs at this time…..and THAT could be a daring procedure.

I personally see no reason why AntennaTV or similar channels couldn’t set aside maybe three weekend hours, devoted to these “camp” comedies, that only had a handful of episodes. (“Co-Ed Fever”? Yikes!) A different three hours every week with six different shows.

Blansky’s Beauties, Who’s Watching the Kids, Out of the Blue, A New Kind of Family (those two were embarrassing)…..basically any show out there that had a brief life. Maybe hire a famous TV critic (Leonard Maltin perhaps?) to introduce the show, throw a little trivia at it….Something like that would make it watchable.

I would call it “Weekend Camp-Out.”

Do you know if Nost TV runs The Joey Bishop Show episodes unedited or are they edited like the Antenna TV airings were?

But what other show could turn a teen idol into a real life paramedic?

Emergency! is a good show, there's more action in it because it has the paramedics that go out on rescues, while Medical Center is basically a straightforward medical drama.

Yes, shows that are strictly inside a hospital, well, meh.

As to Bobby Sherman, actually quitting an acting/singing career to do this, surely speaks volumes! Gotta hand it to him.

I don't. If they don't you can always stream the show for free from many streaming services.
