What to watch on your early color set!

[jroberts500]

I love all the shows of early television through much of the stuff from the '70's. I intend to buy all I can find as time goes by. There is much I have not ever seen and I often think I could spend hours out of every day just watching old TV shows on my old TV's. Much of the stuff from the '50's and '60's has never been topped. All the newer stuff that is good is always rehashed old stuff. Stars like Dean, Frank, Sammy and many others had amazing personalities and not one of the modern "stars" can come close to giving us what they keep on giving. I am sure that magic comes from thier past. No matter how hard current stars try they cannot overcome the wierd effects of thier over-privelaged, pampered lives. Serves them right! They design there lives to appear as caring so much for thier braindead fans all the while they rake in the bucks for their John Travolta lifestyles which include perks like underground safehouses allowing them a very comfortable place to wait for radiation levels to get back to normal. The rest of us can "fend for ourselves" as we slowly fry. The only people in the media that deserve any amount of respect and support of anykind are those who are trying to educate "we the misinformed people". Much of the entertainment of the '50's and '60's would not simply entertain but also influence and inspire the watcher to think more, become better educated and do the right thing by all other people. Today's programming teaches people to be selfish to every extreme possible. There are exceptions to this but those exceptions are never promoted properly to the masses as doing so would reduce many executive's ability to steal money from thier brothers and sisters. One could say it has always been this way but I am certain it is much worse today than ever before based on much investigation. Much of my information comes from current college students. As much as I see the bad everywhere I also see great possibilities for our future. Things could go either way. Current TV programming should be helping more than it is. That is part of the reason I love old shows! I love "Get Smart", "Gunsmoke", "The Beverly Hillbillies", "The Flip Wilson Show", "The Sonny and Cher Show", "The Dean Martin Show", and many others.
Have a nice day!
