"Perry Mason" every weeknight at 8PM on FETV....Dialog, no blaring music, explosions, special effects, braying women and infantile story lines.....

 

 

I think people like the old shows because they depict a time when people were more respectful, well dressed, and didn't act and sound like moronic animals....and yes I know there were silly shows on teevee...

 

The Cr**P that passes for TeeVee today is astounding.

 

Astoundingly BAAAAAD.

I met Chad Everett back in 1977, he was dressed in black from head to toe, absolutely adorable!!

I always think I will enjoy these old shows, but with the exception of " The Waltons " and " Designing Women" , I find them dated and just not as good as I remembered.

For me, the old shows were so much better than the s8@x and gore that's on today.  

 

I loved Walt Disney's Sunday night show.  That was the first show we saw in color on a new television set.  The Golden Girls and Little House on the Prairie are two that I watch almosst every day today and still enjoy them. Maybe the photography isn't as good, but the shows are!  My kids and I loved Sing Along with Mitch.  I still watch The Lawrence Welk Show - definitely dated, but music that I enjoy. There were so many. I wish I could remember more.

Re: Old TV show we loved. I know it's been done

I love the old TV shows and movies.  My children got a huge dose of them when they were growing up.  They still like them.  I always told them that black and white movies (or TV shows) have black and white values.  I find them hopeful and filled with life lessons.  I think  today's shows are blunt and leave nothing to the imagination. 

 

I provided day care for my grandchildren when they were little.  The boys favorite shows were Daniel Boone and Lassie.  I did find it very funny when my grandson who is now 14 yrs. old told me when he was about 3, he believed that I grew up in a world that was black and white.  I guess to some extent that is true.  I always knew right from wrong because my values were black and white!
