Out of that list, I have seen I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Leave It To Beaver, Fathers Knows Best, The Phil Silvers Show, & the Real McCoys.

I Love Lucy is my #1 all-time favorite show. I just can't get enough of it and I love EVERY episode.
The Honeymooners & Leave It To Beaver are good and I like them but if they were off the air it wouldn't bother me.
I really don't care for either
Father Knows Best & The Phil Silvers Show. Both just bore me.
The Real McCoys are okay.
