To illustrate how important TV was to me even as young as 4-years-old, here's a picture I drew then of a happy kid watching a happy TV with a happy workman on the roof setting up the antenna. |
Not impressed with contemporary TV shows, I’ve collected DVD sets of vintage TV programs to watch in my retirement (which began April 1, 2011). Now, when so inclined, I can kick back and enjoy any of the following:
The Addams Family*, Alf, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Andy Griffith Show, The Avengers, Bat Masterson, Beany and Cecil, Burke’s Law, Cheers, Cimarron City, Clutch Cargo*, Columbo*, Dennis the Menace, Dobie Gillis, The Donna Reed Show, The Ed Wynn Show, Father Knows Best, Francis the Talking Mule, The Fugitive*, Gang Busters serial, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, Gilligan’s Island, Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, The Hardy Boys--Applegate Treasure serial, Have Gun--Will Travel, Here Come the Brides, Highway Patrol, Howdy Doody, I Love Lucy, I Married Joan, I Spy, Jack Benny, Leave It to Beaver*, The Life of Riley, The Lone Ranger, Ma and Pa Kettle*, Mister Peepers, My Little Margie, Newhart, The Outer Limits, Ozzie and Harriet, Password, Rawhide, The Real McCoys, Richard Diamond, The Rifleman, Robin Hood*, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon*, The Smothers Brothers, The Adventures of Superman*, This is Your Life, The Three Stooges, Time for Beany, Top Cat*, Topper, The Untouchables, Wild Wild West, Wodehouse Playhouse*, Wyatt Earp, You Bet Your Life.
