Yea, and mentioned by the 30 year old none the less! Those shows had been off the air for years before I was born.
But I've still seen them, and they're better than most of the drivel on the networks now. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif

Not to be a stickler....OK, to be a stickler...but Gomer was mentioned in the opening post and the proper name of "Sargent Bilko" was actually "The Phil Silvers Show", and earlier, "You'll Never Get Rich". https://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/P/htmlP/philsilvers/philsilvers.htm I mentioned Phil Silvers a while ago, but I'm 36, so the point stands.

I agree that shows of the '50s through the '60s...at least the ones that survived to be shown in reruns, stand up better than most of today's offerings. There are, however, a few unique shows on, but I fear that some will always have to fight for their lives because for some reason people watch things (inexplicably) like "Two and a Half Men", "Still Standing", "George Lopez", or whatever formulaic, laugh track goo is on today.

It's a chicken and egg thing. Did I become a lawyer because I was an %&$*#& or did I become a %&$*#& after I became a lawyer. To tell the truth, I can't remember myself.
 
I give. I know I will never out-wit a lawyer. Especially when he's right.
hehehehe
