For some reason, I just now remembered a fantastic TV show that I really liked and where I discovered George C. Scott. It was called East Side, West Side and aired only one season. Here is the wiki page for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side/West_Side

Gulligan's Island. I think it was Mary Ann in those little black shorts that kept me watching. I was a little younger then. :jester:

I just felt emotional and wanted to cry after reading these posts. There are too many shoot em up movies now.

I loved Cagney & Lacey and China Beach.

Going way back I loved The Patty Duke Show (where she played twins), The Carol Burnett Show and anything with Lucy.

One of the best miniseries was Rich Man, Poor Man and I also loved
The Thorn Birds.

Something made me think of this show in the mid-sixties called The Invaders. Only lasted a year or two but I loved it.

We had television in the late forties as my dad owned a bar and bought tvs for the bar and home at the same time, 1947. My earliest memories of tv shows were Captain Video, Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, and Howdie Doodie. My earliest memories of prime time shows were Wednesday and Friday nite boxing, Milton Berle, and Your Show of Shows.

2BNTV 10-25-2011 01:43 PM

I remember almost all of those shows except for Captain Video.

The only Captain Video I remember is Ed Norton and Ralph Kramer when they bought a shared televsion. Wasn't the Honeymooners a great show!!!!

Wasn't the Friday nights fight called Gillettes Cavalcade of Stars?

Bonny 10-25-2011 01:52 PM

Most of mine are covered. A few more:
Trapper John M.D.
Starsky & Hutch
The Commish
Andy Williams Show
The Dean Martin Show
Sonny & Cher
Marcus Welby
The Andy Griffith Show

WOW, those were the good old days. There really aren't any shows now that can compare to all the greats. I'm a Law & Order junkie now.

Friday (from memory): Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp. .... How are you fixed for blades, do you have plenty, how are you fixed for blades, do you have enough? Please make sure you have enough, cause a worn out blade makes shaving mighty rough; how are you fixed for blades? you better look. Gillette blue blades I mean...

Wednesday: what'll you have, pabst blue ribbon, what'll you have, pabst blue ribbon, what'll you have pabst blue ribbon, pabst blue ribbon beer

For some reason this show popped into my head this morning and I don't remember anyone mentioning it. I was in love with Dorothy Collins
