I remember all of those. We didn't watch the Goldbergs much.
I know I didn't care for it. But I was pre teen then.
I liked, "You Asked For It". And the other one, "Candid Cam-
era" I think was with a young Alan Funt. The Rifleman was
big then, with Chuck Conners. And "Annie Oakley" and Tag. Whatever happened to her, I wonder. Oh, and don't forget, "Death Valley Days", and "Tombestone Epitaph", stories about the great southwest.
Oh, and "The Dinah Shore Show". WIth the well known
commercial for Chevrolet and her kiss at the end "Muaw".
I loved Sid Ceasar and Imogene Coca. They were a pair.
Sid was such a ham. But Milton Berle had him beat on
that. And of course, Red Skelton, had his show, with his
cast of several characters. And his "May God Bless" at
the end of every show when he signed off. Oh those were
the days of our innocence. How I'd like to be such again.

I get tickled at how everyone thinks everything is new.
My grandfather who lived to be 87 and died 20 years ago always wore Lee Dungarees, the most popular jean style for men today.
"American Idol" is just a lame remake of the "Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour", which aired when I was a child.
Milton Berle dressed as woman and it was funny...a gag. Today we would be admonished to "be sensitive" to his "need" to "express his inner self".
The more things change, the more they stay the same...and the TV is STILL an idiot box.

I recall all but the Goldbergs.
I loved James Gardner in Maverick. I hope you rent the DVD called "The Ultimate Gift." He is in that movie and it will touch your heart, Daisy.
I loved Playhouse 90. I think James Dean was on that and was his first appearance.
Milton Berle has brought me many laughs.
I miss Art Linkletters "Kids say the Darndest things."
Love and blessings to you.

Everything except the Goldbergs, but my mum talked about them on radio. Uncle Miltie was on past my bed time.

I remember the 'boob tube' and Maverick. James Gardner is one of my all time favorites, such a talented and handsome man. I remember hearing of Uncle Milton later on.

How about:
Life with Elizabeth -- starring Betty White
I Married Joan -- Joan Davis/Jim Backus
Private Secretary -- with Joan Blondell
Love That Bob -- with Bob Cummings
The Life of Riley -- with William Bendix
Our Miss Brooks -- with Eve Arden
Now, These are really moldy, aren't they?

Yes, I remember all of them. James is still one of my favorites. There was also a program called "One Step Beyond" that was entertaining. I think that came along in the 60's.
