MyTv Channel on our cable runs them all, including those mentioned as well as others such as: Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons, I Dream of Jeannie, Beverly Hillbillies, Rawhide, Hogan's Heroes, The Rifleman, Gilligan's Island, McHale's Navy, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Perry Mason, etc. etc. etc, as they rotate through any of a number of them. Other channels nearby frequently run Hawaii 5-0, Magnum P.I., All in the Family (Archie Bunker), The Jeffersons, The Golden Girls, Everybody Loves Raymond, Star Trek, etc. If you want to reminisce, it's fairly damn easy on today's cable t.v. channels! I am a lover of TCM and a majority of the films that they showcase. And then there's the Game Show channel. . . . . . .
With you all the way on Andy Griffith, Ken. I recently watched "The Fun Girls" and "Rafe Hollister Sings" for probably the fourth or fifth time. Never get tired of this show.
Those 'old' TV programs are so much better than much of what is broadcast now. I personally can't stand the ones called 'reality' TV shows which seem to be based on ignorant and clueless humans. I never watch them.

Indeed,; this new crap is pablum for the masses. Those older ones from the 60s were real humor + entertainment, but then I could say the same about the good ones from the 50s as well. Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Sid Ceaser, Uncle Milty, ad nauseam. The point is that the older programs were much more entertaining. I guess that although I AM correct, that makes me an old fart. Thank God for our real cellulite heroes.

Sorry, got in a hurry + in indignation, forgot to add George Burns + Jack Benny to the list of GREAT performers. One can't remember them all, their cast are legion.
