Some really old shows - Sigokat - 08-26-2008
Twilight Zone (originals)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (the first season was the best. Some of the later shows just go too corny)
Star Trek
And I hate to admit this, but I will...
Gilligan's Island
I friggin love that show for some insane reason. I was actually watching (it was on in the background) it the other night while playing LoTRO. Yes, I own the DVDs, but in my defense my mom bought them for me.

Ah, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.!! I get great amusement when I watch NCIS and see Ducky on there. He's gone from being a world class spy to being a forensic pathologist.
How about "I Spy" with Robert Culp and Bill Cosby? Or, god love us all, "Mod Squad" featuring the delectable Peggy Lipton?

Mad,
The sad thing is is that I know what both U.N.C.L.E. and T.H.R.U.S.H. actually stand for!!!

"Quantum Leap" is one of my all-time favorites.

So, what's wrong with Gilligan's Island? I enjoyed it a LOT more than I did some of the other comedy that was on at that time...I think I'm the only person my age who was NOT amused by the Beverly Hillbillies.
However, I always preferred drama to comedy, other than variety shows like "Laugh-In", or cartoons.
"Top Cat", "The Jetsons", and the other Hanna-Barbera shows ("Hey, Qweek Draw...how do you work thees camera?")
Come to think of it, my favorite cartoon show was "Rocky & Bullwinkle"...and I laugh at them as much now as I did then...but for different reasons.

I loved the puns and double entendre. The Kirwood Derby . . . Metal Munching Moon Mice . . . Peabody's Improbable History. They still give me a chuckle.
And June Foray has got to be the best voice-over artist who ever lived. Not forgetting Paul Frees.

Just imagine being stuck on a deserted island with Mary Ann and Ginger.
And they keep making those coconut cream pies
YUM!

If I responded honestly about what I would do on a deserted island with Marry Ann and Ginger I would probably be banned from this site. :eek:
I'm a big H-B fan also, with my favorites being of course Top Cat and Jonny Quest.

What about Don Messick? I considered him to be one of the best as well.
