I’ll give BB a few more vires. I did like that Bmovie feel.

Check out the actors cutting up behind the final credits of “Lock Up”.

There was a “Lock Up” episode with Mary Tyler Moore, right before she landed the role of Laura Petrie. She already had that exact hair/look, and it was weirdly surreal seeing her play a criminal (I think) or maybe just involved in some kind of criminal situation. I think it’s one of the public-domain episodes that circulates fairly widely.

I remember an episode of “Boston Blackie” entitled “Trailer Park Showdown.” Some escaped con kidnaps a housewife or something, and then takes her to some trailer park. Circa 1952 or so. Blackie comes to the rescue, of course. But it was all shot in some modest suburban neighborhood, and then switches to a somewhat low-income trailer park. Corny melodramatics (the excon villain could have probably passed for a villain in the “Superman” series), but the episode sure captured the visual atmospherics of the era.
