I record Alfred Hitchcock Hour and Thriller every night on MeTV. I prefer these old shows to most regular network TV offerings. Love the Sat night sci fi shows there also like Star Trek, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. They are fun and take me back to childhood. The horror movie host, Svengoolie, shows the old scary films I loved. He has been a staple out of Chicago for years, now expanded since MeTV.

I like Hitchcock and Thriller, too! Have you seen the Hitchcock Hour episode with the nurses living in the house (btw, same house that was used for Psycho)? That's a favorite of mine.

I've also seen Night Gallery and Twilight Zone on one of those channels - just can't remember which one. Night Gallery was a good show for the time!

I've been enjoying 'Here's Lucy' episodes. The later series in color. With her daughter Lucie and her son Desi Jr. Also, her 'Uncle Harry' (can't think of the actor's name).

Gale Gordon. I think he also played the role of "Mr. Mooney."

[ROMARY]

Yes! Gale Gordon!! Thank you! Also, the cast was so talented in that series. Singing, dancing, etc. My gosh. And Lucy, Vivian Vance, and Gale Gordon weren't twenty-year-olds at that time, too. What ambition. (I really don't know what I was doing when the original series aired, but I wasn't watching. For some/whatever reason, I'm truly enjoying that series now, though!) So glad that the retro TV channels are presenting a variety of retro TV series/episodes.

Gale Gordon also was in Dennis the Menace playing John Wilson, when Joseph Kearns passed away.

Use an antenna, and you will get a lot of these old tv shows.

Don't quite get your point. Care to elaborate?

No cable or satellite. Hook an antenna to the tv. Reading on here it looks like you get the channels anyways. (PBS, METV, TV LAND etc.)

Yes: I don't have cable or dish, just oldfashion broadcast and I receive GET, This, Antenna, Cozi and ME! Don't miss cable at all. Also get QVC and HSN over the air.

That's just about all the TV I need.

I get CBS, ABC and FOX .

They are now showing a Binge of "Gomer Pyle USMC". I forgot how funny that show was, Jim Nabors is great.

My husband LOVES Dennis the Menace! LOL. We watch the MeTV, Svengoolie, etc. The TV programs they make today are gross and unpleasant to watch - I haven't watched network TV in ages.

My favorite show of all time would have to be The Andy Griffith Show, when Barney Fife was on it.

I also like Leave it to Beaver....

I occasionally run across Murder She Wrote, but haven't made a note of which days and times, and channel. I truly enjoy it. Didn't think I would at first, (things have changed), but once I begin watching it, I enjoy it. Simply good mysteries without all of the g*re.

I watch the Dennis the Menace shows and caught much of the Donna Reed show Binge. Wow, that Donna Reed show was great- she was a great mom way before the internet age.
