When TV was Great

I agree with Bobbert's concern about the overlap. The credit screens are too small. I want to see which actor played a certain role, but I can't read it.

Thanks to the Wigel OTA sub-channels a lot of shows not seen in years are available. Problem is some I fondly remembered did not hold up well at all but a few are really (IMHO) evergreen:
The Andy Griffith Show.
The Beverly Hillbillies
I Love Lucy
Maverick
Have Gun Will Travel
Richard Greene in The Adventures of Robin Hood.
What these shows from television's black and white era demonstrate is writers make great television (and movies). Actors are secondary.
