Old TV shows - would you watch them today?

[schneemann]

Websites like Hulu and Joost are now carrying full episodes of old TV shows like the Andy Griffith show and Bewitched.

Personally, I think it is a great that these old shows are available for people to see.

So here's the question: Would you still watch these shows if you could?

 

[Revvy]

I do, I am a big HULU fan...I watched my way through Welcome Back Kotter recently...

 

[Revvy]

Oh cool...they got WKRp in Cincinnati!!!

Bailey Quarters...mrrrowwww....

 

[Natas]

I really like some of the old shows.
I'm watching Soap now. Up to the 3rd season.

 

[BierMuncher]

I DVR Gomer Pyle, Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Get SMart and all kinds of old classics.

The SWMBO is addicted to I Love Lucy on Sunday mornings after Meet the Press.

 

[bob1852]

I wish A-Team was back on!

 

[flyangler18]

I find myself getting sucked into TVLand- Bonanza, Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, Get Smart.

Great stuff. :rockin:

 

[McKBrew]

I've watched some Knight Rider and Airwolf in the last few months. I do enjoy the older shows like Hogan's Heroes as well when I catch them.

 

[flyangler18]

Oh MAN- I haven't thought Airwolf in AGES. Rock the F on, baby!

 

[Borisbbadd]

I watch TV Land all the time, those old shows are great.

 

[quickerNu]

Jeez, knight rider, a-team and airwolf. Yes, I was raised in the 80's!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

When I happen to catch one on the TV set, I always do settle myself into the classic programs. Anyone remember the ORIGINAL Dr Who? :rockin:

Yep. The weird telephone booth thing. Haven't seen it in at least 20+ years.

Tardas..............

Can't remember the name of the robot dog tho'.

 

[Baldy_Beer_Brewery]

Funny thing is, I think a lot of people like these old shows. But there is no way in hell anyone could sell something like Beverly Hillbillies or Gilligan's Island to the networks today.

I own Greatest American Hero on DVD.

I used to watch that show all the time. I have no idea why, though, because I hated it and thought it was the dumbest show ever, but for some reason I made sure I watched it. Maybe it was just because I wanted to see him crash into things.

 

[EdWort]

Ah yes, Cool guns, lots of bullets, no one ever died.

 

[dzlater]

What do you use to download them?

Oh the humanity !!

I use Graboid. I'm not sure how Graboid works, it must be some kind of Peer to Peer deal. But as a user you don't share. Somehow they must have servers that have everything on them. Like I say IDK. They have a free access with limited download bandwidth. And also pay per month, starting at 5 bucks a month and going up depending on how much you want to download. They have "most" of the stuff I look for, and so far never a virus or spyware from any download. Worth checking out.

After download I can either play it on my computer or convert for my Ipod with free software. I use one called "Super @". Strange name but it is free and works great.

The Turkey is episode is one of the best.

I forgot

Northern Exposure Beautiful country scenes

 

[aryiman]

Yes I wish I could find somewhere to watch Cheers. I cannot find anywhere online to watch these. z

 

[arturo7]

Beverly Hillbillies kicks ass

 

[GregR]

I always like to watch cheers when it comes on.

 

[toddrod]

I miss Hawii 50, Quincy, 6 million dollar man.

Some of the old cartoons, maybe. I don't do videos much, although I did spend most of a hour watching bits from Monty Python shows last night.
