~ Remember Dragnet ... ? It started on radio then moved to television in the 1950s. I believe this one is 1955 ...

I dont think I ever watched it but I remember the title. Such dramatic music.

~ It reminds me of Perry Mason - but with two police detectives instead of an attorney and private investigator.

Sure. I've seen it. Of course I wasn't around in the 50's so I saw it in reruns.

Oh, we loved dragnet. The deadpan faces while they dealt with every sort of criminal.

I used to love watching old shows on Nick at Nite. When DH was overseas and I was still in college I would watch it all night.

I noticed The Carol Burnett Show is on Amazon Prime. I think my kids might like that.

My DS really liked The Invisible Man.

My faves as a kid were the Lone Ranger and the Cisco Kid. Never did much care for Roy Rogers. It was odd to send Nellybelle (a jeep) to town to meet the stagecoach. And later, Bonanza and Maverick.

They are all on vintage cable TV now, and so bad compared to today's shows.

I have a lot of old-time radio shows on my iPod! Dragnet is one of them.

~ I like these older 1950s Dragnet better than the " newer" ones from the late 1960s

We watch the Carol Burnett Show all the time. Kids love the goofiness of Tim and Harvey.
I shed a tear for Mr. Korman and, just recently, Mr. Conway when he passed. Such talent in that group.

The Private Eyes and the Apple Dumpling gang--Don Knotts and Tim Conway.

I used to watch Nick at Nite and TV Land. I think I've seen every single episode of Gilligan's Island that way.

I've collected a few older shows on DVD, like MASH, Night Court, and Soap.

It was funny then, and it's funny now!
My favorite of the two

I love the old shows - recently I have been watching the original Perry Mason shows. I love Lucy. Andy Griffith - Don Knotts was great.

As a teenager I loved The Nelsons - I had a crush on Ricky. The first album I bought was Ricky Nelson. And Man From U.N.C.L.E. I loved David McCallum. Red Skelton - we always watched that. Very funny - still holds up today and no vulgarity. And the same for Carol Burnett.

I don't really watch current shows. I wait til they come out in re-runs. If they are good enough and lasted long enough for re-runs,I figure they might be worth watching.

I loved Ozzie and Harriet, too. Ricky always was a cute hunk, but I didn't think much of his parents allowing him to jump-start his career on their show.

Maverick was the most sophisticated, humorous Western on TV until Gunsmoke came on.

It's nice to find TV that's appropriate for the whole family.

~ Tim Conway's son has an afternoon radio show here in Los Angeles

I loved watching those skits involving Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner, Carol Burnett, and Vicki Lawrence all those years ago.

It is so sad that Tim and Harvey are gone.

Vicki was recently in the cast of The Cool Kids. Unfortunately, it has been cancelled. I had hoped that perhaps some of the Carol Burnett alumni might guest star on it.
