Aunt Fritzi: Three hundred channels-- High definition-- Home theater system--- All the latest technology. To watch "Andy Griffith", "The Twilight Zone" and "The Honeymooners".
Don’t forget the old westerns, either. I love to watch “The Big Valley”, “Bonanza”, “Gunsmoke”, and “The Rifleman”. It’s too bad that more networks don’t carry these types of shows.
I read that Jackie Gleason once had a TV show that was getting fairly good ratings, but he was miffed about one that was getting even more viewers – reruns of the Honeymooners!It is great that the Honeymooners were archived, but not so much that the June Taylor Dancers weren’t considered worth saving!
Thanks everyone for all the great TV mentions! SM, it’s Reginald Van Gleason III…and yes…it’s sad these are not on tv…along with all the great characters of Red Skelton. Glad you’re enjoying the strip. Please go to TODAY’S DOGG and subscribe to that one, too! It’s the other panel I do.God bless you all, and have a great weekend.
I know. There’s an episode on ME tv tonight and I plan to watch it. It’s getting to be one of my favorite channels as it shows many of my old favorites.
This is so true, i have a HD TV, surround sound and I’m watching Mr. Ed, I Love Lucy, and old movies on TCM. Thanks for a great strip, been reading it for years.

The oldies are still the best. Thank goodness for Turner Classic Movies.

today’s stuff is garbage thats why—most writers today—cannot write a grocery list let alone a good script.

For me it’s the “Three Stooges” and Buster Keaton movies. :D

I agree with all that’s been posted, but would add “Cosby” to the list. There will never again be a sitcom as good as that one was.

“Perry Mason,” Get Smart (I know, but I laugh at all of the mid-60’s telephone “innovations,” and if I’m lucky, some “Kolchak.”

I think I’d add The Avengers, The Beverly Hillbillies, Rat Patrol & Star Trek to that list. There was also Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Time for Beanie. Not the cartoon – the puppet show.
