From the 1950s to Present: Your Favorite Sitcom of all time
Mine has to be "Andy Griffith"- the old B&W ones with Barney and the original cast, not the colored "Mayberry" series. Have most episodes on tapes and slowly but surely transferring all to DVDs.

Another one with great writers! They'd never get away with all that in today's politically "correct" world. Too damn bad. That show had a moral lesson every episode, but with today's standards too many dumbasses wouldn't get the point and it would be frowned upon and attacked by the media and clueless politicians trying to get votes. I'm surprised they still run the re-runs, considering.

It lets me go back to my childhood, in small town America, when times were simple, families were closer, & walking around town , even at nite, was safe.

G-Damn, I know it's my age but I'd give my left arm or nut for that matter to go back to when I didn't feel like I have to have an alarm system, keep my guns and aluminum baseball bat handy and feel that even with my big black dog that I have to sleep with one eye open. Crap! 'bout ready to chuck it all and head to the Great White North above the border. They have their share of problems too, but I just need to get enough $ for this house on Lake Michigan, and then watch me! (or better yet, don't!)

My age might be showing, but my favorite would have to be, "The Banana Splits". I have a lot of fond memories from that shows airing. For those who don't remember;
it was a variety show, with cartoons and movie episodes.
I used to enjoy watching all the, "Danger Island" episodes.

Yes, liked them all when I was a wee lad.
Branded was my favorite for quite awhile. Chuck Connors drummed out of the army (wrongfully). Liked The Rifleman too but thought Branded was better. David Jansen in the Fugitive.

Walter Brennan as the grampa, Richard Crenna as "Luke" and the lady that played his wife, can't remember her name but remember her name but she died very young, I think either during or shortly after the series was quit.

Ya gotta just love Donna Douglas to pieces (Ellie Mae Clampett)
She never got all caught up in the whole "Hollywood is so unfair, I've been sterotyped, can't get any other parts so I'm gonna fall into a broody despair and ruin my life with alcohol, drugs and bitterness" crutch.
She is still the same sweet perky cheerful Ellie Mae she was back then, she cherishes her time spent as Ellie, and to this day, still likes to don the costume and show up for special events...
