You cannot beat Lucy, Jack Benny and Jackie Gleason
They don't make shows like that today.
I feel sorry for the generation growing up today. What will they remember from TV when they are in their 50s or 60s?
Count my 9-year old son as one of the lucky few. He loves watching my large collection of old movies and TV shows. Like me when I was his age, Gilligans Island is his favorite TV show. And favorite movies of his are, No Time for Sergeants, and Mr. Roberts, both of which he remembers and will quote on queue many favorite lines. And he almost refuses to go to bed unless I play an Edgar Bergan Chalie McCarthy old time radio show, or old Bill Cosby records that he can fall to sleep to.
