There are folks who love 50s and 60s, etc., TV who think everything post-1990 is crap, and there are those who love 90s and 2000s TV who think everything pre-1980 is crap.

While those in the first group would definitely be wrong in suggesting that EVERYTHING post-'90 is pure dreck, those in the latter group would be WAY out of line and woefully misguided in suggesting that all shows pre-'80 are garbage.
One can "argue" that series television during the period of the 1950's-'70s in particular was "boring, "prejudicial", "slow-moving", "overly conservative", or "naive", but all of it 'crap'? Not in a million years. I'm not aware of anyone attempting to retronym "The golden age of TV" with a less flattering title--lest they be forced to watch endless re-runs of "The New Munsters". |

Re: Where Are The Good Shows?
Does anyone know if "You Are There" (1953) still exists? I've read some early television no longer exist because they were filmed and broadcast live and never recorded. If that's the case is there any chance "You Are There" and BBC's 1949 "The Time Machine" still exist.
I'd really like those to hit DVD

11 volumes of You Are There were released 2 years ago. Here's the link to the info:

With respect to the BBC's "Time Machine" it's likely a matter as to whether it was a filmed production or a live production. I strongly suspect that it was probably a live production and, given the year of its broadcast, it's doubtful that even kinescopes were made and I don't believe that videotape was used back then. There is a listing for "The Time Machine" at the British Film Institute's site, but I'm afraid that there's not too much information . . .

I think "You Are There" and "Tales of Tomorrow" should get the same sort of treatment "The Twilight Zone" Original did from Decmber 28, 2004 to December 26 2005 or at least be released in individual complete seasons(or all individual complete seasons in one box)

Re: Where Are The Good Shows?
I personally am not a fan of a lot of whats on TV today because a lot of it is this reality based mess that lacks anything sensible. I'm 32 years old and I grew up watching Nickelodeon. Things like Mr. Ed, Gomer Pyle USMC and so on
Today what do we have? Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Jenny Jones, American Idol, Fear factor, No thanks

Actually, Image Entertainment, the company that released "The Twilight Zone" has released two, 2-DVD sets of "Tales of Tommorrow." This was a case where kinescopes of a live show were made and, fortunately, many of them were saved. But I'm unsure as to whether all of the episodes still exist, which might preclude full season sets. Here's the link to Volume 1 and you can link to Volume 2 from there . . . .

It's still pretty amazing that as many episodes from a live show as old as "Tales of Tomorrow" still exist.

Especially one done on ABC, which was barely a real network at the time. |
