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?
Gunsmoke
Hogans Heroes.
No laugh in has aged horribly.
Carol Burnette however holds up as well as ever
some more recent series worth watching with no woke bs
- reacher
- deadwood
- yellowstone
- 1883
- stargate SG1
- doctor who (until Matt Smith)
- longmire
- sherlock (short run british series, 3 episodes per year, 3 yrs)
- bosch
- bosch legacy
- castle
- hell on wheels
- justified
- kolchak - the night stalker (70s show but excellent)
- lost (twists, turns, and a few wtf but no woke)
- magnum pi (Tom Selleck / 1980s version)
- the chosen (new series worth catching)
- person of interest
- rubicon (thought provoking and too close to reality)
- supernatural (weekly monster movie, not woke but plays w/ angels, demons, the devil and God)
- the expanse (excellent sci-fi accuracy; don’t remember anything woke)
- the terminal list
- brimstone (popcorn fare)

How about,
‘Pluck Your magic Twanger Froggy!’
Or
‘White Fang’?
.
And Nobody knows How the
Clicker worked but the
Old Man Owned it!
Hogan’s Hero’s.
I’ve been watching older episodes of “Burke’s Law”, both from the 1960’s and the remakes from the ‘90’s And also a show from the 1970’s called “The Name Of The Game”.
There is a channel on youtube called Times Past Television, which carries many older series of different shows-I highly reccomend it. They have shows I’ve never even heard of!
I hate current tv, although I hear the current series from amazon prime is good. It’s called The Terminal List. I am going to check it out.
I’m Gen X: Little house on the prairie, the Incredible Hulk, and Dallas.
Hawaiian Eye , Perry Mason , Adventures In Paradise , Twilight Zone , Andy Griffith , Addams Family , Munsters , Alfred Hitchcock Presents , Honeymooners , Sea Hunt , Highway Patrol first come to mind , all of which I still watch either via Youtube or my DVDs . Just watched Sea Hunt via YT while eating leftover chili here in Kumamoto , Japan .
It was great to watch it in the sixties and now see it still stand tall over the new dreck.
It still amazes me that James Arness and Peter Graves were brothers. Never knew it until way later. Loved Mission Impossible too.
MeTV’s sister station Heroes & Icons has 12 O’Clock High, as well as Combat! and Rat Patrol. I think MeTV has the rest of the ones you’ve mentioned. My husband and I are in our mid-to-late forties and all we watch is classic tv. We can’t stand most of the newer shows. We finally just dropped satellite tv and we get the retro stations over the air or the Weigel stations (MeTV, Decades, etc) via FrndlyTV streaming. Two of my favorite westerns are Gunsmoke and The Rifleman. I also love Have Gun Will Travel, and Wagon Train. I credit my dad for my love of westerns... and Rockford Files... and Columbo. Watched a lot of great shows with him growing up.
I’ve been wanting to see that for a while. I’d only seen a few episodes. I recently found a channel on our Roku device that has it, so we’ve been watching a few episodes at a time.
Wagon Train
Rawhide
Gunsmoke
Big Valley
Bat Masterson
Lawman
Death Valley Days
Yes, a pattern is starting to take form!🤔😁
Old Dr. who, Saturday morning cartoons (pre 90’s), Saturday afternoon chop-socky theater with bad dubbing.
I’ll throw in Mannix as I haven’t seen it mentioned. Great show.
The Dukes of Hazzard.
It is just pure simple country fun.
That’s a show I could just watch over and over again and enjoy it. It’s ridiculous but just so much fun to watch.
Watched the heck out of that one.
LOL!!!!!
I see a definite lean toward horses and gun fights.
