Buying the DVD's is one option. But, it can get really expensive very quickly. I bought a Perry Mason DVD, and it was $40 for 1/2 of one season. That adds up pretty quickly.
And, I admit I can be lazy at times. Kind of easier when you are tired to just plop in front of the boob tube and watch something, than to get the DVD out, etc. Hey ~ that is time I could be spending making myself snacks! Snacks!!!!!  |

Hi 'T' 
~Doc |
I'm sure you're right, Doc.
I remember the old USA network (absolutely loved the old B movies they played all night in the weekends). At one point I can remember timing the commercials. 15 minutes of them before the show came back on! It was sad. I just stopped watching it all together. |

Yes you may have the remote, Mirizor, if you can name me ONE cable network in America today who`s programming consists exclusively of 1950s/1960s TV shows...just one. |
Does your God live in the TV Morgram? Let me know if He answers you. |
I quite frankly don`t understand your remark, Mirizor. I`m a child of the sixties and grew up with sixties TV programs and I...well...I`d like very much to see most of them again. You can`t understand that? |
I am also a child of the very late fifties...early sixties. I somewhat do remember shows like Peter Gunn, 77 Sunset Strip (tv version-the soundtrack I remember listening to...the finger-snapping), sci fi shows like Outer Limits, Twilight Zone...later it was The Invaders with Roy Thinnes. I was more into the sci fi genre.
But I also liked some comedies like F-Troop, Get Smart, McHale's Navy. And if I was loaded with pocket change I would get those programs on dvd if available. |

| 1. The programs of earlier decades are significantly better than most of the programs of the last 30 years. 2. 50s/60s shows have been absent from television for the past 30 years. 3. Millions of americans should not be expected to go bankrupt purchasing alot of old shows THAT SHOULD have been put back on TV a long time ago. |

| Must have aired in the late 50s early 60s. I don't think I've ever seen it - not even a rerun. |

It aired on CBS I believe from 1959-1963. Most shows from the 1950s and 60s have been virtually ignored for the last 30 years and as a result many TV viewers like yourself have never seen them and therefore have been denied the opportunity to see how genuinely funny american TV once upon a time actually was. The last time I saw Dennis the Menace myself was back in 2003 when TV Land ran 10 episodes stretched out over a period of four weeks. |

You can rent dvd's through Netflix for about $17 a month, 3 at a time, no late fees and you can get as many as you can at 3 at a time... I think thats a pretty good bargain... they even have ADAM 12!  |

What about say Hawaii Five-O? I suppose it would be irrelevant in what order 12 seasons worth of episodes would be shown? |

There is no argument. What everyone is hinting around at is shut up about it already and let go of the remote, get to the video store, rent it and copy it. Enough about the stupid TV channel already. Either that or make one thread like Vito does with his poop. Then we can be sure to stay away from it as well.
You happy = everyone on the board blissfully happy. |

But then that won't make Morgram happy.
Or we can just ignore the whole thing and pretend we're watching Leave It To Beaver. |
