I was shopping at our local Walmart a few months ago and saw a woman who resembled Gretchen. Of course I knew it wasn't her but I did speak up and told her this and that she should look her up on the Internet. She was very flattered that I made a point of telling her.
We have a few stations that play the vintage shows including a couple that are all westerns.
Back when I was still working full time - I always made a point of getting home by Noon to watch Rockford Files on one of them, while I ate my lunch.
It was so nice to take a mental vacation.
TV shows like that and so many others mentioned here were so well done with interesting plots and story lines and very well developed characters. The acting was amazing as well.
I still make a point of watching certain shows on days and time slots they come on. Gunsmoke at 1pm weekdays. I think I've seen every one so sometimes I will skip that day's episode. But most of the time I don't mind watching the reruns because it was such a great show.
Ken Curtis shows up in a few episodes not as Festus and is so much fun to watch. Burt Reynolds was great too. There are a few Gunsmoke episodes that I will always treasure more than any other show I've watched just because of how they end. Like the one when Matt takes the lady from the East to see her fiance' in a fort but is killed along the way but manages to save Matt's life in the process. Some of you may know that one.
Overall I feel Star Trek, M*A*S*H, and Miami Vice were the best TV shows ever made.
The Twilight Zone right behind them.
On cable H&I Saturday nights we have these shows air in 2 episode blocks: Black Sheep Squadron, Tour of Duty, Combat, The Rat Patrol, and 12 O'Clock High.
I don't remember anyone mentioning "Tour Of Duty" but it's a great show worth looking into.
Earlier in the day on H&I they air back to back "The Young Riders" about the early days of the Pony Express.
Agree with most of what's already been posted though.
Dixie McCall (Julie London) on "Emergency" - hubba hubba!
"The Big Valley" was also a great series.
How about "Frazier" - so freaking hilarious....
