TV? What is that?

20 years ago, I rediscovered the OFF Switch.

Occasionally I see a clip of network content streamed to the web, but only when someone I know refers me to it.

Life is much happier.

TV is sponge content.

The web can be interactive.

I love TPB. Definitely not a FR show though! Probably only a few here would like it. I could see most of the people on here actually hating it.

I can agree with Star Trek and I Love Lucy, but Lost in Space?!?

I watched it, sure, but I wouldn't nominate it for one of the best shows on TV in the 1960s.

That was a great Bio on Arnold! :)

My favorite ‘Green Acres’ is when Arnold falls in love with Mr. Haney’s Basset Hound, Cynthia; Romeo and Juliet had nothin’ on those two. :)

(I don’t own any pigs, but I have been ‘owned’ by three Basset Hounds. Rufus, Belle and Pearl.)

A hundred years from now they’ll still be showing I Love Lucy on TV.

I always watched the original Perry Mason with my Dad. I wanted to be Della Street when I grew up.

My favorite series is “Sledge Hammer.” My favorite drama series is “Knight Rider.” I think that, for the majority of Americans, their favorite show was made at least partly when they were teenagers. My sister-in-law, who was born in 1962, said her favorite is “Mork & Mindy.” A former co-worker of mine, who was born in ‘62, said his favorite is “All in the Family.”

I just watched GA on a streaming service. What a great show. Arnold the pig was the best character ever. The really great thing about Green Acres was that the stars, Eddie Arnold and Eva Gabor, were surrounded by a great cast. ps. Eddie Arnold was a landing craft driver at Peleliu. Pretty amazing these guys came back from WW II and resumed their acting careers.

Lost in Space is unwatchable as an adult.

Have a couple of Scotch and sodas, and a kid to watch it with.

The Americans. Better Caul Saul/ Breaking Bad (I consider them 1 show). Columbo. Fargo. There’s a ton of great stuff. Even happening right now.

Me too. I own the entire collection in multiple formats.

I'm convinced the series was intentionally squashed because of it's anti government theme which I definitely am inspired by.

"I intend to misbehave."
