What did they watch: the greatest 50s and 60s TV shows

Takes me back to my youth

Oh, how show have changed!

Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, The Honeymooners. .

I remember Richard Boone from "Have Gun, Will Travel". Great western in an epoch of great westerns.

Ossie and Harriet My three sons Makes me feel my age

Now this was TV at it's finest. I don't even watch TV today.

Liked all those shows except the westerns. Dragnet was probably my favorite- loved that no-nonsense Joe Friday- "Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts.'

I remember all of those programs. They were some of the best

I've seen all the shows in re runs ( I was born in '66) except Have Gun Will Travel. I've also seen re ru s of others not mentioned here.

“ Thanks for the Memories “ 🥰 For the best TV shows of all 🤩

We got our first TV in 1958 and were absolutely thrilled to watch it. We only had 2 channels but it was so much fun to gather around TV that we even watched the news, lol. We watched and loved all these shows but I was a little older when I watched Have Gun Will Travel because it was on later at night and I had to go to bed. :-(

There were a lot of good shows on back in the day and very enjoyable because they mirrored daily lie of the time. Programs now are not nearly as good. Variety shows like Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett. Red Skelton, Dean Martin, Tennessee Ernie Ford. Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen brought wonderful skits and laughter to our mundane life. I remember watching Gene Autry, Roy Roger's and Dale Evans, Cisco Kid, Zorro and The Lone Ranger as a child.many good memories from tht time of my life.

I loved all these shows. Brings back great memories especially when you can watch just about any show on TV these days.

Bonanza, Wonderful World of Disney, Red Skelton, Lawrence Welk, Romper Room, Captain Kangaroo, Happy Days, Rhoda (although I was in college then)

They are still on TV and I watch them

77 sunset strip

Rawhide, Bewitched 😍, I Dream of Jeannie, Mr. Ed, Petticoat Junction...

You could include Wagon Train and Rawhide, the start of Clint Eastwood’s career

Still watch most of these everyday. Love them all. Love the westerns the best especially gunsmoke and I also get to watch wagon train. Love them both so much.
