I didn't read that article yet, Lee; but that seems to me to be a nearly IMPOSSIBLE task: to assemble a list of the 25 Worst TV Shows . . .

I think if it were like the "25 Worst TV Shows on Monday"- or Tuesday, etc.-- I could narrow it down in my mind.

256 channels and still there is very often NOTHING worth watching-- except for something on TVLand from the 50's/60's . . . I caught part of the new Knight Rider the other night . . . wow, nice photography, great picture, but I'd rather watch a B&W, 4:3 episode of Leave it to Beaver. Go figure.

As a child of the 60's, I have a few that come right to mind. Even with a kid's imagination, I thought they were terrible.

"My Mother the Car" 1965

"It's about Time" 1967 (catchy theme tune though)
For those of you that don't remember it, the show was about two astronauts that traveled faster than the speed of light, and ended up back in the Stone Age. Special Effects, (if you can call them that), were rock bottom low budget. It was a bad show, for it's entire 26 episode run.

"Captain Nice" 1967

"Mr. Terrific" 1967

My Mother the Car was a good show, if it wasn't for youtube I couldn't remember the theme to well. It's like Charlie says love that good in plenty Charlie says really rings that bell, Charlie says love that good in plenty because there isn't any plenty that you love so well..

There are many who also liked the show. I hadn't seen MMTC since it was on originally in 1965. As a 12 year old. I just remember hating it, and thinking it was dumb. Now 43 years later, with a bit of nostalgia, and wondering if I would think the same, I picked up a set on Sell.com(By the way, you can get almost ANY TV series from the 60's - 80's, on Sell.com, or Ioffer.com) I figured for fifteen bucks what the heck. I almost got through the first episode. Some day, I'll try it again, but you know, just about any TV from the sixties is okay with me. There were a ton of really, good programs back then. And even the bad ones can be fun to watch too.

Good to know you can get the old shows back then.. I don't know if I want to watch them again though. I started with Hawaii Five-O from 1968 watching those on DVD it's okay. Lost In Space, Star Trek okay to watch. I used watch TV in black in white and I guess you did also. I can remember when dad brought home the first Color set it was Admiral.

A couple we've been watching a lot of ,

"The Virginian" I never watched this one as a kid, don't know why. Westerns were such a big part of the TV scene back then. 249 90 minute episodes, always filmed in color(just like Bonanza),1962-1971, and the stories are great.
"Combat!" I can't say enough good things about this series.

We were one of the first ones on the block to go color, around 1966, I think. I believe Dad got a 17" portable, and we used that set into the mid 70's.

For us it was 23" color I think it was around the same time you had posted. Yes I remember Combat! On Sunday afternoon there was a old TV program was based on Delancey Street, NYC called at Bowery Boys. Finding this info was hard as I couldn't remember the name of the series.. Found this youtube on the old boys show. I don't know if it was in the 50's I wasn't around then so I don't know. But I used to watch it in the 60's in B/W, since the video below is in that format. Funny program?

Yes, we all watched the "Dead End Kids", "East Side Kids", and the "Bowery Boys". Even Dad would laugh when Leo Gorcey (Slip Mahoney), would absolutely murder the English language.

It was called NYC slang..

Example if say this:

Can I ask you a question? A
new yorker would say Can I axe yo a quest?

I believe it just became available on DVD not too long ago. Wouldn't hold out much hope for the blu-ray version, though. :cool:

I never saw it, but with 13 episodes, I guess not too many people liked it.

Is that Waylon Jennings with Buddy in that picture?
