I just hear that NBC made too hard for Rod Serling keep up with the censorship he end the show so he was tired of showbix went back to teach college course in Rottonchester NY that where he died unfortunately two year later

I think if Roddy was still around I think he would get together with CBS reboot TZ they talking about remake seriously

All episodes of The Twilight Zone free no commercials, links at top lead to TV shows and movies, all gratis, very few clinkers. Found out Gorillavid needs flash on, but it's the only channel that does. No Supertrain, though...

Lemme guess - you’re 47-54 years old...

At that point in their careers they pretty much looked like twins.

:-)

Or Fantasy Island, or Love American Style.

Where else could a has-been washed up actor get work.

The Saturday night lineup from Hell.

[SevenofNine]

I think it was NBC idea bring it Vegas I hear that Michael Mann want go to Vegas that where Chicago Mafia end up I think they stay in Chicago for couple more years then go to Vegas

[bmwcyle]

I miss Doll House.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

There was certainly more comedy in the early MASH series. I really liked McLean Stevenson, Wayne Rogers, and Larry Linville. Sorry to see them go.

I could not bear Mike Farrell. MASH always had its anti-war agenda-—perhaps because were fighting Communists in that war. And I have never liked Alan Alda in ANYTHING.

[Rio]

I also enjoyed Wonderfalls (except the sister). It needed another year.

[Gefn]

I didn’t think of Dr. Who because of all the different doctors, and the hiatus.

And I think for British shows, EastEnders has been on forever.

There was a show in 1960’s called ONE STEP BEYOND, where they always said the accounts were “documented”. One show, which they said was “documented,” was set in the Civil War. Seems a big battle was going on and both sides see something weird going on with the sun/sky and they both stop fighting. Anybody remember the show, and/ or episode?

[SevenofNine]

I remember when ABC ran good lineup on Saturday night

Charlie Angels
Love Boat
Fantasy Island

Which all over retro tv networks NOW

[dfwgator]

NBC Saturday night

Extra Credit: Why did they have to change it to Saturday Night Live?

[dalereed]

Never heard of most of them and have had TV since they first came out.

[BCW]

I figured it out before the end of the 1st season...then again, I was in college doing my internship under Professor Holmes @ UofL in Profiling Serial Murderers...

[Gefn]

Oh! Ellery Queen Mysteries.

I loved those. I believe they ended because Jim Hutton died after the first year or so.

Nowhere Man would be on my list too. The scene where he convinces his wife that he really is time travelling (digging, in front of her, her engagement ring, which she’d handed to him that morning, out from where it had been buried under their pool for 20 years) was superb.

My wife still refers to that season as “the lost Fall” since there was a TV show I wanted to watch on every night of the week. Spent a lot of time in the basement rec room. Hadn’t had a TV season like that before, or since.
