    The Rifleman was as good as it gets, especially if you're looking for worthwhile family viewing: it portrayed a solid relationship between a strong and caring father (Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain) and a loving son (Johnny Crawford as Mark McCain). Paul Fix portrayed the local marshal (Micah Torrence), an alcoholic who overcame that problem to the point where he could serve the town of North Fork with distinction and dignity.

    I watch the Rifleman on METV. Very well done show. I've discovered Sergeant Preston is on at like 11pm or something. Great show too.

    This thread has me thinking about F-Troop. Haven't seen it in years, but loved it.

    ME TV is on a lot in my Jeeper (Man) cave. I have always like Hogan's Heroes, what a great show. I miss "Happy Days" and "MASH". The Fonz is still one of my favorites. Such bad acting and silly plots, I love it!

    Just noticed METV is airing Hill Street Blues. It was ground breaking and even directly paved the way for Miami Vice.

    Oh the Miami Vice connection. The shows creator was a writer and producer on Hill Street Blues. So when NBC wanted MTV Cops, he created Miami Vice. Sonny Crocket was a name Anthony Yerkovich used on Hill as a bad guy once. He liked the name and used it for Vice.

    I started watching old SCTV sketches on YouTube. Bob and Doug was comedy genius. The government wanted more Canadian content on the show, so they negotiated 3 minutes. Bob and Doug was born.............

    He was trying to sabotage the mission.

    As to who he was working for, the best guess for 1965 would be the COMMIES!

    My guilty pleasure is Married with Children.

    I never get too much of the Kelly Bundy bounce. :)

    The most politically incorrect show of all time....

    All Creatures Great and Small. PBS. Possibly my favourite TV show of all time, loved every episode as a kid and could not understand how it could be discontinued.
