These older television shows are a real gas to some people who post on FB out of the blue "come in one adam 12", they are usually people who have no cable or the bargain cable package like my parents, I'll ask my mom what my step dad is doing and she'll say sitting in the living room watching Gunsmoke. A friend of mine who passed a way a bit ago used to invite me over and I'd always fall to sleep watching old western movies he'd play because he refused to pay the outrageous price for cable. It was a real fight to stay awake. Though I have to admit most tv bores me the last couple of years. I have no idea why it just does. Once in a blue moon I'll try and watch an old television show just to end up wondering how compared to today we even stayed focused on them. Like one of my favorites was McCloud, McMillian and Wife and of course Columbo....I think back then they called it the Sunday Night Mystery Movies or something of that nature. I'd never miss a one but now a days I'd be lucky to make it through them....except Columbo, he was always an interesting character.
The old school shows have their charms.
