Which old shows are worth watching?
I've watched S1 of All in the Family.
was thinking about Dukes of Hazzard but it's like 150 40 min. episodes which is one hell of an investment.
I also have Brady Bunch on my list. Is this worth it? What are the must watch old shows for someone that was born after they had all long ended?
>Brady Bunch
good for background noise, not really that great a watch.
For Gen X kino, watch the Rockford Files
For boomer kino, watch Hogan's Heroes
The A Team is good. Soap is wacky fun. In the heat of the night is comfy.
Soap looks good. I'd never heard of it before.
Second The Rockford Files. Both smart and comfy.
It's pretty funny check it out
I watched season 1 of Dukes and it was good but not good enough to keep watching it
of all the old shows I have tried watching hoping that I'd like something, this was the best one
The Munsters is better then The Addams Family
Get Smart is fun if you like spy stuff
Bewitched is on the same comfy level as The Brady Bunch
Soap and Police Squad! were almost too smart for TV
if you like sci fi then Alien Nation was very underrated
There was also a lot of good stuff on late night MTV like The Maxx
If you want more carkino the A-team is the best, it even has some slight continuity if you watch it in order

Watch Seasons 2 and 3. Season 4 if those two leave you hungry for more. It's a formula show, that's the peak, it's as good as watching the whole thing. Season One is still filmed in Georgia and everyone's characters act weird. By Season 2 they've settled into their templates. Season 5 has not-Bo and not-Luke (Coy and Vance) and is shit. 6 and 7 only get worse when Bo and Luke come back. MUCH worse.
And as much as I love DoH when it was new, and it still holds a special place in my heart, if you want the really speedy way to watch then just select 10 random episodes from seasons 3-4 and it will make no difference. Almost nothing carries over, almost no change is permanent, every episode is: Boss Hogg and Roscoe have a scheme, scheme involves money/rigging a race/outside goons/tryna steal the duke farm, Bo and Luke get falsely accused and put in jail, they break out of jail, car chase with banjo music, The General jumps over something blowing its horn, everything gets wrapped up and nobody holds a grudge.
beverly hillbillies, green acres and any season of Match Game with Gene Rayburn are essential
Yes dukes of hazard is worth it, at least early on. The pilot alone is comfy tv
Still sad Enos got spun off and replaced with cletus but he ain't bad.
Have never watched the ones without bo and Luke but never heard good things. Interestingly both bo and luke had music careers after
Other good old shows
>the A team
>Buck Rodgers season 1
>Kolchak the night Stalker (its not very many episodes but if you enjoy horror/the dad from a Christmas story it's good)
How many cars did they wreck throughout the whole series? Has to be over 100
From what I can tell most people don't even recommend A Team since it gets bad towards the end and most of the show is rinse and repeat. I'd probably just watch a handful of episodes for some highlights
The amount of dodge chargers they ruined
It's makes me sad
original bob newhart show.
Dick Van Dyke Show for that young MTM
Columbo, Perry Mason, Quantum Leap, and Magnum PI all hold up
Also banachek
Thank you. I actually didn't mind the 2005 movie but I've never seen the show. It has some decent parts like when it introduced Boss Hogg.
>only filming waste down
>voiceover saying he's the meanest most evil man in all of Hazard
>pans up and it's a smiling Burt Reynolds in an all white suit w/matching hat.
