when I was just a little tyke friday nights the family would sit down after dinner (witch was usually pork chops,and baked potatoes) and we would watch the partrige family and the bradey bunch . Then Sunday nights we would watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom,(with Marlin Perkins) and then Wonderfull World of Disney. Usualy some kind of a family movie or a cartoon nothing on like that now it is all "Reality shows"
 
Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Jack Benny, Amos 'N Andy, Alfred Hitchcock, Wagon Train, Maverick, Rawhide, Rifleman, Carol Burnette, Mitch Miller, Lawrence Welk, Mannix, Gillette Friday Night Fights (Marciano, Sugar Ray, Archie, etc.); Saturday night 'rasslin' (Gorgeous George, Lou Thez, etc.) football (Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Y.A. Tittle, Fran Tarkenton, etc.); baseball (DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Mays, Ford, Berra, Hodges, Reese, Williams, etc.) Plus a few dozen others.
 
You can add the Beverly Hillbillies. I also used to watch all the Rockford Files episodes. I was really young when Star Trek had it's run but it was a big deal if my folks would let me stay up and watch it.
 
Cisco Kid, Sky King, Lassie (the first one),Disney on Sunday, Victory at Sea. That was after we finally got a TV. We got 1 station from Houston and 2, sometimes, from San Antonio. finally LBJ's (actually Lady bird's) station in Austin got strong enough to watch the Uncle Jay Show and cartoons.
 
Anybody remember shows like Pete and Gladys and Car 54 Where Are You?
Without using Wiki,tell me who stared in those shows.
 
As another posted, Wonderful world of Disney, Mutual Omaha's Wild Kingdom and when it was on never missed Under Sea World of (please pardon spelling/butchering) Jaque Costou.
I watch ME TV when I get home as Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) is on.
 
As a teen, One of my favorites was Tom Corbett and the Space Cadets and of course any Western.
Remember the '15' minute shows. (and one minuter commercials)
 

I bought a "Roku" device. Subscribed to Hulu, and now I can watch "The Rifleman", "Bonanza", "The Lone Ranger", and a bunch of others anytime I want to.
 
"My Little Margie", (I had a crush on Gail Storm), "I married Joan", "People's Choice" with the basset hound, "Rifleman"...The list goes on.

Here in western, pa we lost our chaneel 53. Now GET TV shows in place of 53. It is all stuff from the 1950's.
 

Before we got a TV I would watch wrestling and
fights on Saturday nights through the neighbors
window and after about 6 months I realized they
did not have a TV either.
 
Imogene Coca was in a show of her own about that time. Grindl was the name of the show I believe. I'm thinking she was a maid for hire or something like that.
 
One of the local stations still airs My Little Margie here once a week. For a while they had I Married Joan too. They showed Life With Elizabeth starring Betty White too for a short time.
 
No body mentioned THE NAKED CITY or Peter Gunn.Car 54 Had Herman Munster and the guy that said oho oho oho all the time.
 
That's funny, haven't thought about Uncle Jay show in years. I was actually on it when I was 5 or 6 years old. Wanted to yank on Packer Jack's beard to see if it was real, but chickened out.
 
I always liked Route 66 from the early 60s with Martin Milner and George Maharis driving around the country in that Corvette. Those guys were the epitome of "COOL".
 
I was never on it but my photo was on my birthday. Remember 2 Jays? Pig Stand? Austin before I 35? Cactus Pryor? I had a Labrador in the 80's-90's sired by one of his champions - accidently.
 
Most of all those mentioned, but no one mentioned Amos & Andy. Just not PC I guess? I liked it anyway!
 
Barney Miller is a show that has aged well. The clothes look funny today, but the stories are still good.
 
I saw F-Troop recently. I never thought that show would make it back to broadcast TV.
 
We had one here called The Buck Barry show. Came on at 4 in the afternoon weekdays. Old buck got in to a little trouble when he had a barn fire and his horse Thunder burned up in it and they discovered it was arson.
 
Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Rockford files, Rifleman. Many Many good ones, The TV of today is junk.
 
Most of these shows you all have mentioned was before my time. Growing up I liked Three's Company..with the Ropers...I didn't care for it as much with Don Knotts as Mr. Furley. I liked The Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy....who didn't like Heather Thomas?, Macguyver,Knight Rider, The A Team, and on Saturdays after 12:00 I liked to turn it over to PBS and watch This Old House, The Woodrights shop, and a few others. Saturday evenings if I was at a friends house that had cable, at 6:05 on TBS it was World Championship Wrestling. I had to watch Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen unleash mayhem as only they could. Thru the week after school I liked to watch the Magic of Oil Painting with Bill Alexander. The German guy that always liked to "fire into" his paintings. I wasn't much on that rip off Bob Ross.
 
I like ADAM-12and Hogan's hero's, Andy Griffith, green acres, McHale's navy, the rifleman and the three stooges has got to be the best
 
Got our first Admiral TV in "58. We"d look at the schedule, discuss it, and sit in the living room and wait til time for the show, check our watches. At the time, then Pop would get up and walk over and turn on the TV. At the end of the show, he"d get up and turn off the TV.
 
I remember Cactus, listening to his comments on KLBJ, also remember I-35 referred to as the "interregional highway", and 2 Jays hamburgers. Maybe not the pig stand though. Cactus built and ran the "canine hilton", didn't he?
 
Why watch one of those old shows that insults your intelligence when you can watch a modern show like Wipe Out. Just kidding, I’m watching CHIP’s right now.
 
Yeah Jerry. all of those and Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Paladin, Your Hit Parade,What's My Line, Milton Berle, George Burns and Gracie Allen, The Ed Sullivan Show, Sea Hunt, and many, many westerns...Roy, Gene, Hoppy,and the Lone Ranger. Yep, wrestling from The International Amphitheater in Chicago with Russ "Pappy" Davis (His bylines were really good) was a favorite even though we strongly suspected it was fake...the fun of hating Hans Schmidt, Fritz Von Erich and Mr. Moto. And Amos and Andy was great, especially the Kingfish and Sappire, and the Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge Hall. Most of TV now is rubbish! I only watch it about 6 hours a day now..........
 
My mom got me started on the old "Perry Mason" series (black and white). They came out well before my time, so they are all new to me! I think most of the shows are available on YouTube. It's nice to be able to watch a show and not feel like I have to ask my daughter to leave the room.
 
Carole Burnett was a great show. We gave mom a set of the show's DVDs one Christmas.
 
Sea Hunt.. Sky King.. The Rebel [ Nick Adams ], Get Smart, McHale's Navy , Maverick ... I used to watch Rifleman.. Not any more.. I saw something about Chuck Connors cruising Rodeo Drive looking for young boys...... You can watch just about any show on Hulu ..
 
Well, Car 54 was Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster) as sergeant Schnauzer, Joe E. Ross as Gunther Toody, Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster) as Francis Muldoon. Don't remember who was Muldoon's mother or Gunther's wife were.
Pete and Gladys starred Harry Morgan. Also known to hang out with Jack Webb on Dragnet, and Colonel Potter on MASH.
So far from memory, and I didn't look up anything!!!
 
I remember and enjoyed A LOT of what was mentioned. Does anyone remember a show called "Bearcats" with Rod Taylor and Dennis Cole? I always loved the car in the show. Guess it wasn't on very long, was on in 1971. A friend of mine watches Cozy TV which has a lot of the older shows. He said it sure is bad when a guy has to watch the old shows to get entertainment anymore.
 
Gunsmoke, Death Valley Days, Wagon Train, Run for your Life, The Fugitive, Hogans Heros, Lassie, Wild Kingdom, Disney, Emergency, all those Doctor/Medical shows my Mom used to watch I couldn't stand, Mannix, Cannon, Hawaii Five-O, Bonanza, Rin Tin-Tin, Littlest Hobo, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Sky King, Rip Cord, Cheyenne, Kodiak, Have Gun Will Travel, Sugarfoot, Hazel, Bewitched (who didn't love Elizabeth Mongtomery?!), Dick Van Dyke, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, Lawrence Welk, Andy Williams/Dean Martin/ Bing Crosby specials and a whole lot more. Never liked All in the Family or The Jeffersons or any of that type show. When that stuff came out TV went down hill.

Plus- LOONEY TUNES! Coyote and Road Runner, Space Ghost, Teen Titans, Johnny Quest, Rocket Robinhood, The Anteater and lot of other cartoons that only showed Saturday mornings before noon and Sunday morn between 8 and 10 if the channel out of Plattsburgh came in or 12 out of Ottawa.
