I have been watching Perry Mason series. Got on Tubi and saw classic westerns. I remembered some of the shows on tv, but the ones in the 50s stumped me. Gabby Hayes show for 1. It aired from 50 to 54. I was 5 in 1950 and we didn’t get but 2 stations here. How many do you guys remember?

Billy it's no wonder the world is like it is. Stupidity has become fashionable. It still amazing me that you can't advertise tobacco products but you can glorify getting drunk. Like that's not hazardous to you health or interfers with your driving 🤔🤬

After seeing what you guys say about reality tv I’m glad I don’t watch it😄😄😄

You know you are looking at an old TV series and they give a warning at the start that it was filmed at another time and may not agree with current peoples thoughts and I am not talking about SEX which has become more explicit since those old ones made where they couldn't show a scene of a male and female in the same bed.

Frank : Here's some: The Untouchables, The fugitive, Branded, Gunsmoke, Twilight Zone, The Shadow, Tarzan, Charlie Chan, (?). I'll supplement this after my mind comes up with some more. But these and others I remember were mid to late 50's and beyond. I was only 1 y.o. In 1949.
We had 3 stations here in central CT back then if cloud skip brought in Channel 9 I think it was from NY.

Frank I was 4 Oct 1950. I remember many of those old shows. Roy n Dale n Gabby. Sky King Hopalong Cassidy Lash Lerure you name it I probably saw it. TV was once entertaining 🤣. Now they can't write a script so they call it reality TV. More like real crap TV. Tubi Peacock hula n a few others still show the old stuff 👍👍

saw a lot of those movies on Saturday Matina in the theater whin I was a youngun

Sidney Towler I think, but I saw a couple with Boris Karloff or....
maybe not. Gotta look it up ! <JUST CHECKED, I WAS KARLOFF. and I can't remember where I leave my car keys now.......>
And Grizz mentioned Zorro. I had forgotten that and it was one of my favorites. Loved the part of Sgt. Garcia, was like Sgt Shultz on Hogans Heroes.. but even as a kid, I hated the H H concept, as if life in a POW camp was fun and games ! But my family loved H H and we had one tv, at the time, for ten people and were d^mM lucky to have that. ( around 1957? ).
