Not to take anything away from Kevin but, how about Amos & Andy, Cape. Video & Koka, Fran & Olie.

I love the old shows, radio and TV. Thanks for the references, @asop
Can you imagine Amos and Andy in today's world? It would be totally different to say the least.

some of them were the fist to go years ago for racial profiling like the first foot in the water you could say same with a ton of old cartoons
the internet is your friend ( you tube all old such programs are out their
I was a captain kangaroo and mr Green Jenes skid
and the countless Saturday morning cartoons and westerns the good guy always won
I know its not true but the term simpler times and lifes back then not so much
a lot of struggle to keep the family fed and together harder and tougher for all
but we tend to forget that part
On YouTube check out: Ma & Pa Kettle do math. Absolutely hilarious.
That I have watched many timesaving s classic
ma and pa were always funny
Pa was lazy but he must have used up all his enegery creating so many kids
Cleo The Talking Dog

I could probably go on…
My all time favorite is Car54 where are you. Some other favorites are Abbott and Costello and Amos and Andy.
You are there with Walter Cronkite…mid Fifties.
The Big Picture ..produced by the U.S. Army. mid Fifties.
Industry on Parade..mid Fifties. Would show how products were made.
You Asked for it, brought to you by Skippy Peanut Butter…mid Fifties
Zoo World with Marlin Perkins…mid Fifties.
Home Run Derby, early 1960s.
I can add "Victory at Sea" to that.
I LOVED Industry on Parade. Today it is replaced by How It's Made. Fascinating.
"Victory At Sea" was one of my favorites.
A few years ago I bought two(I think) boxed sets of dvds, of the series.
Great history!👍
I stil enjoy watching the short news Reals they use to play at theaters
From war events to the newest news and clips of manufacturing
To help fill time as people settled in
But also at that time tvs were scarce so supplied info to the masses
I had a kind of crush on that dog Yukon King that accompanied Sgt. Preston of the Mounties way back in the day. An older brother was made to watch me one time when our folks went out for something. Brother put me in front of the TV and promised that King would be appearing right after the show that was on. I sat there for what seemed to be hours, watching Leonard Bernstein conduct his orchestra!!! 😒 King never came on either!!!😫
Just may be why I have this love\hate relationship with classical music. 😁
Lately, I've been enjoying the reruns of "Death Valley Days" hosted by the Old Ranger and later Ronald Reagan, Robert Taylor, and Dale Robertson. The series I get free via my indoor antenna. Also get to watch "Tombstone Territory", "Bat Masterson", "Rawhide", "Have Gun Will Travel", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "The Texan", and several more.
I never seem to tire from the good ole westerns!
Sea Hunt, Sky King, Alfred Hitchcock, Milton Berle, Fury, are few from decades ago.
I remember ALL of those. Amazing when I also recall that I grew up in the time of B&W on a total of three channels.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the show: The Big Picture. Use to run documentary’s and have that Sargent explain all the new innovations of the army. In the early 50s to around 1960 it ran.
Anyone here remember Wheel of Fortune?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Ditch........
Yes........."Industry On Parade" comes to mind.
That question could get you into some Jeopardy around here Mr. P.
Just a few old stanf out thouhts
How about the newlyweds game show
The famous where was the strangest place you made woopie
*That Would be iin the xxx Bob" with every one in shock at the answer that segment is still floating on the internet

What's My Line……Well! What's My Line???
Bennett was a Curfer and Dorothy Kilgallen liked to drink a lot! 😁
Almost forgot one of my favorite tv shows when I was a kid. Mr. Wizard.
I went to high school with "Buzz" the kid that was on that show! We went to YMCA camp together. Good guy.
'member this one?
"This Is your life"—-" Millionaire"
Queen for a day
Red Skelton show
Art linkletter
Adventures in paradise
I remember as a young kid of 6 or 7 yrs old facing of Mr Dillon at the start of Gunsmoke
also developed a desire to have a German Shepard due to the western of the day
Over the years we have had our share of them .1st dog my wife I bought just after getting marred Ginger we named her I miss all of them .
Walt Disney on Sunday nights was special to all us kids the stories and mini sop operas of other kids kept 7s glued to the TV
Like most all.of you 2 maybe 3 chanels on a good night snd in a full 24" i think it was but B&W for sure
Now with hundreds of channels, andd countless programs not counting sites like YouTube just overwhelms me now
"Man Against Crime" & "Drag Net", God I'm getting old🤨
Lassie, You asked for it, Sky King, The life of Riley The Mickey Mouse club, just to name a few.
.
Not that!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life

Coming down the mountain
"John Gunthers high road". It was about mountain climbing. Came on late Saturday afternoon. How about "Osa and Martin Johnson" safari films. Actual footage of African safari trips they made. These were on Saturday morning as part of a kids show along with original Tarzan episodes. Early 60's Pittsburgh area.
My Dad never missed Saturday night boxing.
"Rat Patrol" with Eric Braeden as a bad guy long before Young and Restless. "Kimba" the white lion. Japan anime from the 60's who never saw a dime from Disney when they stole it for the "Lion King". "The Cisco Kid", had to move the rabbit ears for that one.
There are a couple of old westerns I never got to watch as a kid, due to the TV station burning down leaving just two stations left in my hometown back in the early 60's.
Luckily, I've enjoyed seeing them on the GRIT channel reruns.
The Deputy and Tombstone Territory.
Tennessee Ernie Ford show.
Who can't remember all the cigarette commercials and sponsorships from the Good old days
I have lost most all my family and al my old friends a to cancer due to smoking I never got the bug or picked up the habit for some reason not from lack of trying as a young kid but glad it never took hold
The old TV shows I hate to say it but they pull at out heart strings to simpler and less complicated times in our life's
most all of us were poor yes, but mostly happy and did not realize how poor we were as every one we knew were also in that class
But we all made the best if it
I think TV opened that great world to us we had never seen and gave us some hope as to what was out there
And gloom and Doom were not pushed as top movies and stories like now
And just basic,things you were male or female, and what or who you liked was your business .
