I don’t find the production values cheesy. You can keep the sets simple like “The Honeymooners”, or put a lampshade on it like Burns and Allen. Good acting is more important than modern production values. Gilligan’s Island worked because of the chemistry of the cast, and that even characters that shouldn’t be so likeable(the Howells) remain somehow endearing. Perry Mason holds up well today. Great cast. Tight writing.
I loved The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman when they first aired .Over a decade ago, I bought the DVDs. Hadn't seen the show in over 30 years.
Jamie Sommers helps a scientist defect from East Germany. They have a car chase in dry canyon country (obviously Los Angeles, not East Germany). An East German helicopter chases them with a machine gun (though no machine gun is visible on the helicopter). We cut to the helicopter's interior -- and see rice paddies below -- obviously stock footage from Vietnam. And the same exterior shot of Stasi hq is used three times -- with the same people walking by the building.
