On YouTube I have been watching the old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. There are a lot of beautiful B movie female stars in these.
Latched on to some of the old Dick Tracy movies and serials of the 1930’s and 40’s and these are pretty good. I found one the other night with a young Jane Greer in it before she did the film noir classic “Out of the Past” with Robert Mitchum.
Lot of great stuff to find with a little patience.
For a while, with my Dad, we watched “Bonanza” episodes with a Star Trek theme, lol. That involved watching episodes with Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and Majel Barrett as guest stars. The one with Doohan and Barrett (from about 1962) was a really good one too, with Doohan using his normal voice and not his “Scotty” accent.
I’ve also been watching BBC period dramas like “Elizabeth R” with Glenda Jackson, “Edward the Seventh”, “Fall of Eagles” with Jean Luc Picard playing Lenin, and now I am into “The First Churchills”.
And Ian Wolfe looked old, even back then!

My father is 90 and it’s very hard to find anything he can watch. The shows today are pure crap.
Last spring I found 165 episodes of Daniel Boone on youtube. We finished the last season about a week ago. Having that amount of material on hand was a Godsend. Now I have to find something else.
