This brings back memories. On the back of our TVs was a knob that you had to turn to stabilize the picture when something like the below happened. I also remember using a metal coat hanger as a UFH antenna.

Had a long day today and am exhausted and relaxing with a nice cold beer(s) watching some Rifleman espisodes. Man, this was the good ole days when TV was good. Now, it's garbage on TV.
What are your favorite old time TV shows?
Amazon has developed FreeVee, formerly IMDB TV. The programming is free with commercials. An Amazon membership is not required.
It has Dragnet and One Adam Twelve and lots of other such. In my mind, the video quality is better than You Tube

If you have streaming capability, I recomment Acorn and Britbox.
Both offer excellent old programming from UK, Canada Australia and even New Zealand.
Love the old game shows.
What’s My Line?,password,To Tell The Truth and I’ve Got a Secret.
Can download them all on evil YouTube.
Honestly, in my not so humble opinion, they are more entertaining than modern TV.
My personal favorite was Match Game, but I really liked Password and a few others. The Pluto TV app has an old game show network (free), and I rewatch the old shows sometimes.
TV was never really good. Waste of time.
Twilight Zone and Outer Limits (the originals)
Veg Out is the term.
.
Redeeming the time now.
I’m Retired,
Can’t afford it!
Oh yes! I have the complete collection of DVDs for Combat!
Ask the teens if they know of vacuum tubes.
Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were good shows with memorable characters. I’m not really into watching old TV, though.
Nobody admits to being a fan of The Three Stooges. They practically raised my brothers and me. Those guys had a pretty hard life. As strange as it seems, they weren’t drunk when they filmed those shows. Moe and the various Curlys, and Shimp, were brothers. Larry teamed up with Moe in the early 1920s.
Original Hawaii 5O
Don’t even get me started.
I will, however, mention Johnny Carson.
Carol Burnett Show, Ed Sullivan Show, Jackie Gleason
Yes!!!
The Rifleman is my current obsession..
PlutoTV has a 24/7 Rifleman channel.
Also, give me Twilight Zone all day as well!
All those late 50’s/early 60’s shows!
You’re referring to Martin MULL.
Yep, Fernwood/America 2-Nite was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
One of my all time favorites, as silly as it was..
