This is the very first Robin Hood I saw and loved it. I was quite young and never saw it again until I stumbled across the Mill Creek S1 release in Big Lots one day. Of course I snatched it up and then waited rather impatiently while Mill Creek finished releasing it on disc. As soon as I...

If you're going down the road of new yet obscure "classic" stuff then I'll toss in a couple of even newer series (at this point I'd say a 20yo series is old enough to be called "classic") with Bruce Campbell. Both saw a DVD release but are now OOP: The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993)-...

The Doris Day Show - changed just about every season.

The show's premise also changed from a more noir style detective type series to the SF superhero comic style.

I forgot about the movies! It's quite possible that it was some of the movies I saw and not that series. Two of the local TV stations ran lots and lots of movies - at least a couple every day and all afternoon on Saturday.

I have very vague memories of seeing a few episodes of that one as a wee lad - likely sometime in the late 50s. Quite a few of the shows from that era were syndicated here until around ~1962 when movies and "newer" syndicated shows took over those slots. The main thing I remember is the mom...

I love Remember WENN - another that shows how radio really was with great casting, scripts, and music. I'll never forgive AMC for cancelling it and never releasing it on any format.

Yes, I've heard of it... I watched it some (more bits and pieces during commercial breaks of other shows) during the original airings but it had the misfortune to air opposite both Daktari in its premier season (and my sister insisted we watch this one) *and* Combat (one I'd try to watch if she...

What does it say that *these* are the only ones I missed: I missed those only because I *never* saw those shows or their opens.

I'd get up at 5:45am Saturday, turn on the TV, set the channel to 3, turn the sound down, get a bowl of cereal, and eat my cereal while watching that test pattern until 6:00 when The Adventures of Superman came on. The sound was down because they broadcast a 1000 cycle tone and mom would...

I watched both of these during those original airings and was quite disappointed when they didn't make it even a full season. I purchased the DVD releases as soon as they came out - didn't want to chance them going OOP. I'm very happy I did with Quark after seeing the used prices a year or so...

I'm just the opposite with Life with Riley, preferring the William Bendix episodes. Then I'm also one of those people who just don't care for The Honeymooners or Jackie Gleason (and I saw both a lot as a kid as he was seemingly everywhere). A few years ago I looked to see if Life with Riley...

Having grown up with it in movies and TV shows *plus* commercials I just don't give that much attention (surprising as the only smoker in my entire family was mom's dad and he wasn't allowed to smoke in our house and I only remember a few of my friend's parents being smokers) - BUT I was...

And I *totally* missed that! I got focused on Carnation and "Burns and Allen"! :D I watched that episode of 4 Star Review - I don't think a single one of those kids in that cowboy skit actually drank their PET milk - even the kid with the bottle appeared to be faking it. I really enjoy those...

I've seen it - but it's been several years (OK - at least 20+) since I've seen more than the poor sampling on a DVD release (this show *needs* a proper release!). I couldn't remember if they drank it or not. Like you, I've tried that and it's horrid tasting stuff. My mom kept it around for...

You don't *drink" evaporated milk, OK - you *can* dilute it and drink it but that's not what's intended, you cook with it (did George and Gracie drink it? I don't remember... but can't imagine them doing so). Much like with buttermilk it adds a richness to baked goods. It also makes stove top...

Before taking over The Tonight Show from Jack Parr, Johnny carson was a staff writer on The Red Skelton Show. One night Carson filled in as host when Skelton was injured during a show rehearsal. As a result of Carson’s performance, CBS created the prime time variety program The Johnny Carson...

The other SF series I know of from the 50s are: Captain Z-Ro (1955) Clutch Cargo (1959) Johnny Jupiter (1953) Rocky Jones, Space Ranger (1954) I've seen episodes of all of those - most of Rocky Jones. I also did not see them in first run as I was a bit too young to have found SF stuff - that...
