Seldom mentioned is Maynard Krebs and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
That series predicted millennials in 1959...

A lot of us seem to remember the same shows. It’s probably because back then, you were lucky if you had three channels to choose from, to decide what you would watch.

Ahhhh . . . . long for those days . . Circus Boy . . . . Sgt. Preston . . . Sky King . . . .

FYI as of 12 years ago you could get Sky King off YouTube . I used to much episodes while I was on the midnight shift at work along with Star Trek. Spoiler alert, they are nowhere near as entertaining as they were when you were eight years old

My favorite was the British show Secret Agent, with Patrick McGoohan. He had lots of cool toys to defeat the bad guys. The first time I ever watched Get Smart, I just tought it was stupid; at that age I didn't understand parody.

Red Skeleton was big with Dad He seldom missed it. Lost In space, Star Trek,Buck Rogers. Daniel Boone ( sold a lot of coonskin caps over the years). The Beverly Hillbillies.

More so the producers and director that strived for this level of performance,

And also the War of the worlds that turned the nation on its ear with the first radio performance.

My childhood favorite was “Sea Hunt” with Lloyd Bridges. That show started me on a lifelong hobby of snorkeling and scuba.

thanks to all for the casual stroll down Memory Lane. Not to take anything away from the TV shows mentioned, let's not forget our loved animated cartoons of the day: Quick Draw McDraw, Felix the Cat and my all time favorite good ole Fog Horn Leghorn, "I say boy..." On second thought, Ruff n Ready or that cartoon with Clutch Cargo and the weird moving mouths.

Always liked Rin Tin Tin and Foreign Legionnaires.

Rescue 8,Hopalong Cassidy,Commando Cody,Sea Hunt and Have gun,Will travel. Boston Blackie

Zorro, Mighty Mouse, Wanted: Dead or Alive, all old Looney Tunes, Captain Kangaroo, Art Linkletter (before Kids Say The Darndest Things). My favorite British show was The Avengers. Had Diana Rigg in that tight suit. I was a kid, but old enough to appreciate it! Actually had real good plots too. also Andy Griffith (the b+w with Gomer ones). Shazam!

Three channels? Goodness, that was a bunch ! In 1958 in Jacksonville, Florida WMBR TV was one of the first two stations in the state. One of our neighbors got a Muntz round screen cabinet set. From about 50 miles away and on rabbit ears, we watched clean comedy shows, and Wednesday nite's 'rassling, all seen through the weak video signal snow storm.

Today's TV technology is far better but the programming is much worse. I can't watch much of it, not even the "news", without feeling like I need a shower just to get the "liberal" slime off.

Since reading this thread I have started watching old Tarzan / Captain Gallant / Jungle Jim movies on Youtube
