I read where "die hard fans" of the original Sherlock were upset with the new version "Elementary" but I like it. He's a crazy character.

These two series marked the height of British situation comedy, airing from 1979 to 1987. This was the series that made the late Nigel Hawthorne a star.

It's about the tension existing between the British civil service, who stay in power no matter what party controls Parliament, and the politicians who think they control policy. The episodes are written brilliantly, and the acting is superlative.

When the show aired on Thursday nights, everything in the UK shut down as everyone was home watching the antics of politician Jim Hacker, civil servant Sir Humphrey Appleby, and their comic foil Bernard Wooley. It was Margaret Thatcher's favorite TV show, and the DVD's are a precious part of my collection.

can't say I remember 98% of those.

"I Led Three Lives" was based on Herbert Philbrick's autobiography I Led Three Lives: Citizen, Communist, Counterspy (New York: McGraw Hill, 1952) and aired from 1953 to 1956.

"The Voice of Firestone," aka "The Firestone Hour" was a Monday night show featuring classical music that started as a radio show in 1928 and continued on TV until 1959.

"The Twentieth Century" was a Sunday night documentary hosted by Walter Cronkite on historical events of the recent past. It lasted until the mid-60's, when it was replaced by "The Twenty-First Century," which focused mainly on technological innovations.

"Your Hit Parade," which also started as a radio show, featured performances of bestselling popular songs.

"The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom," The Dinah Shore Chevy Show," and the "Texaco Star Theater" were variety shows, of which I have numerous bootleg copies on VHS.

"Captain Z-ro" was a Sunday afternoon space opera about a scientist with a time machine. "Hopalong Cassidy" was an oater that also started on the radio.

"Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade" was a show for young people that aired on KTTV in Los Angeles at 11 AM on weekdays. Hosted by "Sheriff" John Rovick, who died recently, it featured music, cartoons and skits. Baby boomers from Southern California will likely remember that show.

Ah, Green Acres, it was a strange concept to me at the time but funny. It wouldn’t be PC today (rolling eyes)

There were a number of TV shows in the 1960's--Green Acres, the Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Mr. Ed, etc.--that focused on rural America. That changed at the end of the decade and the beginning of the next, when shows like "Mod Squad" and "All in the Family," which focused on urban life, were phased in.

[luvie]

EEK! Glad you missed those storms, too! I’d sure like SOMETHING, though!

[left that other site]

Yes.

At first the focus on Rural America was nostalgic,

Then it became somewhat mocking.

(((HUGSS)))
I was getting all kinds of TV warnings..then the red line parted over us..Grateful we got some rain..Wish you had some, too.
Rain missed us this morning..barely.
