[WH1]

Favorite shows

Perry Mason every weekday at noon on KPTV channel 12, Paul Drake had style.

The Jackie Gleason Show and the Honeymooners

The Twilight Zone, still some of the best writing and acting ever. The storylines are still very thought provoking.

The Carol Burnett Show with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

Any of the Black Adder series particularly Black Adder Goes Forth.

 

[Lady Day]

This was a show I remember as a kid and I loved it. It was animated but set against a live action background. I still play the song in my head

So many. Fortunately our local UHF channel runs nothing but classic shows, Combat, Hawaii Five-O, Mayberry RFD and all the rest. I'd like them to run Hogan's Heros again though.

[K.D. Lightner]

Some of your posts bring back memories. A few of those shows I also enjoyed, some I'd forgotten about, some I never saw even one episoide, even though they were on for years. Partly that is because I pretty much stopped watching TV, except for specials and a few favorite shows, once I was in my late teens.

Forgot to add that my favorite of all mini-series was The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. I wished they had made the film into a movie, because, had they done so, I believe that Cicely Tyson would have been the first African American Actress to win an Academy Award. Might have been hard, though, it was pretty long.

I meant Best Actress Award on that one, which did not happen until Halle Berry. Best supporting actress was first won by Hattie McDaniel in 1939.

I am off topic, but wanted to clarify what I meant.

Old shows from when I was a kid (in UK)

Really enjoyed a WW2 RAF themed series called PATHFINDERS, about the Lancaster bombers that went ahead on the main force to lay the flares and light the target area over Germany or wherever. (shown in the early to mid 70's I think but can get it on VHS now).

SECRET ARMY...about the resistance/escape networks for downed aircrew in occupied France (or Belgium) and you got to know both the resistance characters and the Germans.

DAKTARI...about safari in Africa, with Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion.

SKIPPY...about an Australian kangaroo that could magically understand English and save the world!

CHAMPION THE WONDER HORSE...About a white horse that could save the world!!

FLIPPER...about a dolpin that could save the world (there's a running theme going now!!)

Plus, I grew up with Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Abbot and Costello...etc, which they used to show on a Saturday morning in the late 60's and early 70's.

What memories this thread brings back! Some shows I'd forgotten about, some favorites...

Here are a couple I haven't seen listed yet (or that I missed):

Thank goodness someone came up with the idea of Netflix. The majority of my rentals from there are old TV shows, both US and UK. Can't wait to get to "The Rat Patrol."

Cheers,
