oldies but goodies

Here are a couple shows that I feel are the best, because they do not make them like that anymore.

If your a war buff---- "Combat", not a cheesy production and the Germans spoke German
"Checkmate King 2 to White Rook over"
And comedies--- ' The Carol Burnett Show", and when it came on "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast"
I can still hear my Grandfather laugh, and Foster Brooks was terrific.
game shows--- "The Match Game"
The stars on the panel got to be themselves, and the stupid questions

Being in construction, I can tell you those home improvement shows are a farce, sure they do good, but the construction is bad. Look how crowded they make everything when the house is done. Reality shows are like spying on your neighbours, or more like a contest
In my opinion they just do not make good programs anymore

I loved those two comedy shows you mentioned! And I loved "Mash"! I seldom watch TV now days because most of it is made for, and by, idiots.

Oh yea those were good. Red was the "man" Here is a statement he made to another comedian, by Red, pertaining to cursing to get laughs
"Why do you poison your audience for a laugh. When you use foul language in a joke you are poisoning your audience."

Ok youngsters ;D Let me whip one you and see if any one wants the challenge...When I was little, I'm 56 now, there was a show called "Man into Space" I use to put it on and my dad would turn it and told me "If there ever put a man up there then you can watch it" I have never found any info on this show since

Re: oldies but goodies

I liked Carol Burnett, Dobie Gillis, Never understood Gilligians Island.
They should have fed him to the sharks first time he Prevented
them from being rescued. the honeymooners was good.
the monsters, Sgt.Bilko, adams family. lucy till they
cut the scenes of him spanking her, to name a few off the top of my head.
