When I was younger, and the show was still on the networks, I didn't care for Gunsmoke. Now that my significant other watches it all the time, I'm really getting into the characters. Go figure. I also get a kick out of recognizing actors who are well known now, but just starting out then. Its almost a game. :-)

Same with the Marx Brothers- I thought they were just stupid. One of my kids really got me hooked on their movies. Very silly, but fun. And always great music :D

The Donna Reed Show, Father Knows Best, Mr Ed, The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, Mash, Adam-12, Dragnet, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits...I can go on and on... the older shows were so much better than most of today's stuff. The writers back then had imagination, nowadays they just copy ideas.

I have to laugh at how morals have changed tho...remember Lucy & Desi had twin beds? When one was shown laying on the bed, one foot had to be on the floor, lol. I recently watched Gone With The Wind again...and noticed how when Ashley & Melanie went to bed, they only showed the shaddow of the door closing over Scarletts face. I think we all figured it out without having to actually see what was going on in the bedroom.
