nostalgic shows

This show is the reason why you here me answer the phone around Halloween with, "you rang?" 'The Adams Family' was a friendly group of monsters who's misadventures always kept us entertained. I enjoyed the premise of the show where they just could not figure out why people found them to be so strange.

Not your average 'living' American family, The Munsters were an odd, not so typical working-class family of the 60s. Herman, like many husbands of the time was the sole wage-earner although Lily and Grandpa make some attempts to earn a little money. While Herman was the head of the creepy household, Lily actually made most of the decisions.

The Twilight Zone was a show created and hosted by Rod Serling. This spooky show focused on ordinary people who suddenly find themselves in extraordinary, usually supernatural, situations. The stories would usually end with an unexpected twist. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

What impressed me the most about 'The Outer Limits' was some of the groundbreaking effects they used. For the 1960s, the show was pretty advanced. And like 'The Twilight Zone' this nostalgic TV show was a science fiction program featuring a different cast each week. This may be before your time but do you remember the phrase, "What is the nature of man?"

Halloween is less than a week away so we thought you'd enjoy these rare Halloween 'Three Stooges' TV specials. In the video provided you'll find The Three Stooges in an array of spooky situations. The shorts include; "Body Meets a Body," "We Want Our Mummy," "The Hot Scots" and "Malice in the Palace." Enjoy all four stooges; Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly How

America got it's first glance at "The Honeymooners" on October 5, 1951. It was a six-minute sketch where Art Carney made a brief appearance as a police officer who gets hit with flour that Ralph had thrown out the window. Soon we fell in love with 'The Kramdens' who we wished well as they showed us that financial struggles and marriage difficulties were really just a part of everyday Ame

This one is a true classic. 'I Married Joan' aired on NBC in the 50s. It starred veteran film and radio comedienne Joan Davis as the manic wife of a mild-mannered community judge, Bradley Stevens. Her husband was played by Jim Backus of Gilligan's Island fame and the voice of Mr. Magoo. The show centered on Joan, a scatterbrained housewife, and her husband. Joan really had a baby face because Joan

With Halloween just over a week away, I just had to feature 'Bewitched' in my nostalgic television show series. Elizabeth Montgomery is very high up on my all time favorite actresses lists. As a teenage boy I found her to be a very attractive lady. It was weird to see two different Darrin's though. Don't you agree?

Watching this nostalgic TV show as a child I thought, "Cool, I can't wait to grow up and get my own apartment wearing bell-bottom jeans and then girly girls will come over to smooch with me." I was a warped child. 'Love American Style' featured hour-long shows that had a show within a show, each with an introductory title card. Normally there were three or four mini stories in a show. So

Now that I'm grown up I've learned that inspiring actors and actresses really do live in New York City. In this nostalgic TV show Marlo Thomas played the role of Ann Marie who was a struggling actress living in the Big Apple. In between trying to find jobs acting and modeling she did find time for her boyfriend, Don Hollinger played by Ted Bessell, and her dad, Lou Marie played by Lew Parker. Read

This may be the first time America got a good look at Sally Field. In 1965 she played a character on television taken from a 1957 novel, Gidget. In the sitcom, Gidget was an upbeat, perky girl who often went on many zany escapades.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show aired from 1970 to 1979 and focused on the lives and trials and tribulations of a young single woman and their friends, both at work and at home. The show won three Golden Globes. It has been called one of the most acclaimed television programs ever produced in TV history.
