Dragnet is the one for me. But I don’t just watch it, I listen to the old radio shows while I sleep.

Barney Miller was always one of my favorite sitcoms.
I would like to see some re-runs of Mission Impossible, haven't seen them
in forever.

I watch all mentioned here with the exception of Dragnet. Just can't handle Jack Webb's completely wooden acting and his speech cadence drives me crazy! I like to watch Toon Time in the morning now and again and watch some of the old cartoons.

I have Star Trek TOS on Blu Ray and rewatch episodes every week or two. The Blu Ray edition really shows some great detail, as in the colorful insignia on the uniforms and (in one episode) the coffee stain on Leonard Nimoy’s shirt. Yes, they jazzed up the orbital shots of various planets and enhanced the phaser special effects… but that doesn’t detract from the episodes, imo.

Love the holiday Twilight Zone marathons.

I will also watch The Munsters every once in awhile.

I was out of my teens for Magnum PI, but I can’t rewatch those episodes as they really seem to drag on… filling an hour of air time with action or dialogue that advances the plot was seemingly too much work for the writers and producers back then. Again, just my opinion.

Yeah, the wife and I have caught the oldies TV bug, Andy Griffith, Perry Mason, Dragnet, Adam-12, Emergency! Trying to get the gumption to stay up late and catch a few episodes of Barney Miller.

Has anyone noticed that all the commercials aired during these shows are aimed at a "senior" audience (with lots of health issues)?

It was about all that was on TV when I lived in Africa as a kid. In fact, we only had TV (if the power was on) three or four hours per day, and an hour of that was the BBC news.

ETA: But with Emma Peel, I wasn't deprived.

The Avengers, Wagon Train, Combat!, Rawhide, The Three Stooges, Batman, Have Gun Will Travel...all on multiple DVDs. I pretty much went TV-less except for watching MeTV during the height of 2020 nightmares. Will watch MeTV and Heroes and Icons channels when down home. Star Trek, the original series is a favorite there.

Emma Peel! Smile The Avengers DVDs were the first ones that I purchased in quantity.

You beat me to it. Hogan’s Heroes has been playing twice a night, five days a week, for longer than the original run, which was longer than the war.

The Lone Ranger (it was well into reruns when I was born), Star Trek, and The High Chaparral are the others from my childhood that I still love, but I’ve developed an appreciation for a lot of others as an adult that I rarely or even never saw as a kid in the 60s and early 70s.

I like watching old shows from the 60s , 70s, and 80s. Especially if they have old cars and other things. Also for the strong family dynamics in some shows. But also for the nice actresses too - no tats, piercings, morbid obesity, sexual deviances, etc. that seems to be trending today.

12 O'clock High
and while it's from the 80's..Miami Vice

and many of the ones already mentioned...

I wonder how many of the more modern series people would want to watch in 30 years...shows like MASH that never grow tiring....

I still watch the Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Green Acres, the Twilight Zone, Bob Newhart (both series), WKRP. For the most part, those shows were originally aired before I was born.
