BellaOnline Forums Family Senior Living Watch 1950's Shows on the Interent

I remember Naked City..my father did not approve of the name..lol
And I loved the Twilight Zone...used to sneak and watch that one too! Today, I hardly watch tv. Mostly read or put a dvd in. I still watch the World War II movies. How about the soap operas? There was one...I think Dark Shadows...about vampires..or was that a little later?

I think Naked City is the one. I was probably too young to watch the show, but when Mom and Dad were gone...

Twilight Zone was pretty scary too, but most of the time I would watch it anyway. Every once in a while, I had to stop watching an episode because it scared me, and then would remember the show for days. I was around my early teens at the time.

Sundancer,

I did watch Dark Shadows when it first started - actually watched it quite a while. Then it changed, as many shows do, and I stopped. Was it in the 1970's? Or was it later? Was the woman's name Angelique?

Obviously I am not old enough to have seen those shows during their first run but have enjoyed the re-runs of them. My television viewing really started in the 70's.

Television sure has changed and not in a good way. My fave shows in the 70's were:

All in the Family (that show broke a lot of taboos for television)

MASH

Maude

Adam-12

Emergency

Welcome Back Kotter

Starsky and Hutch

Family Affair

MacMillan and Wife

The F.B.I.

My fave kids shows were:

Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

H.R. PufnStuf with Witchiepoo and the boy who had the talking flute. lol.

Fave reruns of the old 50's and 60's shows are:

The Donna Reed Show and Make Room for Daddy

Does anyone remember a short lived prime time cartoon called "Wait till Your Father Gets Home?" I used to love that as well.

Hi Vance,
Your list of shows made me smile. I still watch Mash reruns. Maude I did not watch much. But, I sometimes catch the Golden Girls on reruns.

I really liked Donna Reed and Make Room for Daddy.

I used to rush home from school to watch Dark Shadows every afternoon. I rented the first season DVD's about a year ago to watch. They are SO funny now. Muffed lines and mistakes all through.

I did watch an interview with the stars of it too which explained a lot about why it was a rush job. They never dreamed it would get so big.

Vance,

I watched all the shows you listed except the kids shows. All the adult shows were good. I loved Maude and the Golden Girls, and actually all of the above. Yes, All in the Family was definitely a ground-breaking show. I remember so well the controversy the show stirred. That era was such a great time for me and this list brings back many good memories. Thanks for putting it together.

I signed up for the email alerts from Retrovision and I see they just got the Barney Miller series from 1975 to 1982. I used to love that show. They also got a 1958 show called the Invisible Man.
