What is your favorite Black & White show??

barwars · 12-13-2003, 02:56 PM

My favorite would have to be "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
IMO, it was the first GREAT sitcom (after I Love Lucy).

Mister Ed

Followed by: "The Honeymooners", "The Munsters", "Car 54, Where Are You?" and "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis".

Probably The Dick Van Dyke Show. I think it's a really great show and I'm never disappointed when I catch an episode.

I also like I Love Lucy, The Burns & Allen Show, The Honeymooners, and most of the other B&W sitcoms I've seen.

Christopher · 12-13-2003, 11:31 PM

The Lucy Show. It was b&w when it premiered, it is a very hilarious show.

Mr. Television · 12-14-2003, 12:34 AM

I Love Lucy

DVD Show
Burns and Allen
I Love Lucy
Twilight Zone (not a sitcom, but great B&W)

B&W fan · 12-14-2003, 05:04 PM

Almost all my favorite tv shows are in black and white, hence my user name. But if I had to pick a sitcom, it would either be "The Dick Van Dyke Show" or "The Andy Griffith Show", followed closely by "Leave it to Beaver", "Father Knows Best", and "I Love Lucy."

Now as far as tv dramas are concerned, I'd have to say hands down my favorite is "The Fugitive." That's my favorite show of all time - period! If you ever get a chance to watch an episode of that, do it!!

I'd say the Honeymooners just because I'm currently all into the dvds but I Love Lucy Was a big favorite as well. After those I'd pick Your Show of Shows, Dick Van Dyke Show, Leave It To Beaver and Burns & Allen.

Couldn't have said it better myself. TDVDS is really the only B&W show I watch regularly.
