Interesting, you can see a lot of the old shows on youtube.

I watched a Checkmate the other day and it was the same plot as Shutter Island with DeCrapio.

Rockford Files was probably the best ever for my money.

Old outer limits
Twilight zone
Star Trek
Gunsmoke
Dr. Who

Just about anything on Mytv, Cozi, MeTV.

Woke TV has nothing for me, I hear enough hoots, grunts, ebonics and cRAP music during the day to have to put up with it when I’ve got the TV on.
Hey advertisers, not everyone things cRAP music is the vehical to sell your stuff to older Americans.

If this doesn’t make you hug your dog, and bring tears to your eyes; something is seriously wrong. This was the most heartwarming episode I ever saw.

Green Acres - Arnold Ziffel was the [pig] character featured in Green Acres, an American situation comedy that aired on CBS from 1965 to 1971. The show is about a fictional lawyer, Oliver Wendell Douglas, and his wife, Lisa – city-dwellers who move to Hooterville, a farming community populated by oddballs. Arnold is a pig of the Chester White breed, but is treated as the son of farmer Fred Ziffel and his wife, Doris, a childless couple. Everyone in Hooterville (besides Oliver Douglas) accepts this without question.

The humor that surrounds the character of Arnold comes from his human-like abilities and lifestyle, and from the way the people of Hooterville insist on thinking of him as a fellow human. They invite him to town meetings, they play checkers with him (and lose), and they speak English to him and can understand him when he speaks with pig squeals and grunts. New resident Oliver Douglas is the lone holdout. He tries to explain to people that Arnold is just a pig, but no one will listen to him.[1] On the contrary, they are suspicious of Oliver, because of his inability to communicate with Arnold.[2] This dynamic is part of a larger theme of Green Acres, that Oliver's sense of logic is meaningless in the Hooterville universe.[3] Arnold can do pretty much anything a human can. He can write his name and change channels on the television. He watches the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite to keep up with the issues.[4] He signs checks and can adjust the TV antenna, and he is the smartest student at the local grade school.[5] He carries his lunchbox in his mouth, and often plays practical jokes on the other students.[6] Arnold is also artistically talented: he is working on a novel, he plays the piano, and he is an accomplished abstract painter, dubbed "Porky Picasso", whose piece titled "Nude at a Filling Station" wins first prize out of two thousand entries in a student art contest.[7][4] He even works as a "paper pig" delivering newspapers, although he has a bad habit of throwing copies so hard and so badly aimed that he sometimes breaks windows.
