I'm 29.

Plus I've never had cable, so I had to watch whatever reruns were to be found on the local stations. Now that a lot of these shows are being released to DVD, I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I originally put this list on the Top 10 from the 1960s thread because I didn't think anyone would post a 1950s list, so I'll just list them again, this time putting them in their proper place:

1. LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
2. THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW
3. I LOVE LUCY
4. HONEYMOONERS
5. JACK BENNY
6. GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN
7. MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY
8. LOVE THAT BOB/BOB CUMMINGS SHOW
9. OZZIE AND HARRIET
10. DOBIE GILLIS

I was thinking of putting The Donna Reed Show in this group but I've never seen it---it hasn't been seen in Canada since the late '60s!---so I'm hoping someone other than AOL can put it online so I can see if it's as good as everyone says it is.

^ I still have a hold on The Donna Reed Show at my library, but it hasn't come in yet.
