bill5 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I mean old.......recently a channel I get showed re-runs of Wells Fargo, a really old western series and I've been getting into it. Sure the acting isn't impressive and the by the numbers plots are predictable, but it's still worth the watch IMO and fun to see a western series again. And not unlike Twlight Zone (though not nearly as impressive), numerous actors who will become better known (granted most as character actors) make early appearances.

Docbop Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 For OLD I've just finished watch the original Perry Mason and it was fun seeing the idea of good acting for the time, the different values and things the just wouldn't fly in today's world. Then the music Jazz influenced soundtrack and being into cars see the old 40-50's car and though to the 60's. Another I watched recently was NYPD Blue and the was great seeing it again. I never had any of the cable TV so with Amazon Prime I'm catching up on a lot of TV series I missed and really like being able to watch on my schedule not once a week. Some of the ones I really like is The Wire, Mr. Robot, Power, House, Lost and other J.J. Abrams series. One show the everyone raved about I never saw when it was on was The Sopranos, I recently watched and thought it was okay, but nothing great.

DJkeys Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I also have been watching the Perry Mason series. I actually think it holds up pretty well, even though it is formulaic and fairly predictable. The cars are one of the best parts, I didn't realize they made so many two door convertibles back then! Also watched most of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and all of Twilight Zone. The original Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are also excellent. -dj Quote iMac i7 13.5.2 Studio One 5.5.2 Nord Stage 3 Nord Wave 2 Nektar T4 Drawmer DL 241 Focusrite ISA Two Focusrite Clarett 8 Pre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill5 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Reynolds was actually a regular on there for awhile. Kelly I think was known largely for western parts before ST. But honestly nobody beats Twilight Zone for a who's-who of famous actors that weren't famous yet...Nimoy, Shatner, Robert Redford, Jack Klugman, Ross Martin, the list goes on forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Bought the complete Route 66 on DVD for cheap. It's been a good watch. Also been watching the old Dick Van Dyke Show. Strange, the first three seasons of Petticoat Junction are easy to find streaming or on DVD. The later seasons are very hard to catch. Found a 7 season set of Mission Impossible on DVD for cheap. Getting ready to start that. Quote This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, I hated suffering through the parents watching Perry Mason the times I had to. Now, they're great!

Ivan May Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I really like watching News Radio. It’s an old TV show from the nineties. Dave Foley and Phil Hartman were both cast members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
