I'm mainly referring to 1950s-70s TV programs,but that may be different for you.The clothes, hairstyles,the way people dressed and conducted themselves.The beautiful cool cars,the milkman,plus literally hundreds of other things and differences,when things were a lot more simple in many ways. Even just the fact that these shows were made when they were.--Another bonus would be what you do NOT see in older/classic programs,modern computer technology being one of many of them. What do you think?

I'm very nostalgic so I would say that I do enjoy seeing different times portrayed on classic shows. I especially enjoy the 80s and 90s because that's when I was growing up.

The 1950's and 1960's shows are the real fun shows. Telephones, cars, clothes, and I always like the coffee after dinner to relax. 30 years from now people will be talking about the 1980's or 1990's life on tv.

Yes! I love TV shows from the 50's and 60's for that very reason!

I'm currently watching classic Hawaii Five-O online and it's awesome seeing a police procedural drama that doesn't have law enforcement relying on smartphones and digital technology to solve crimes, just legwork and paper trails. And no quirky smartass characters spouting off one-liners and jokes that will make you groan either.

The Mysteries of Laura is a great new show that doesn't rely too heavily on tech to catch the bad guys. It's one of my favorite new shows on now.
