Check the late night listings on the Retro TV channels...they still play the shows. Set your DVR! I have many fond memories of watching the show with Dad...and Dad did NOT like TV. But, he enjoyed Red.Many of his clips are available on YouTube.

Your mention of "live shows" reminded me of one - Carol Burnett. And a live show my Mom and I would watch, that others I weren't crazy about - Hee Haw. And a couple shows that were on major networks for a few years, surprisingly, at least for this area, since they were country music stars - Glenn Campbell, and Johnny Cash. It wasn't until many years later, in the late 80s, that I started getting shows from other artists on the Nashville Network, on cable.Some of my dad's favourites too - Red. We also watched Ed Sullivan faithfully. Twenty Questions. Tennessee Ernie Ford. What's My Line.
"See the USA in Your Chevrolet" a dragonette will bring a biscuit tin to the first person who answers correctly - with the caveat - from actually having watched the original show!
These were all live shows when you think about it. What an era!

When I had a TV, I used to do a lot of crocheting while watching TV. I also used that time to do some mending. Now, on the computer, I might listen and do something else on the computer at the same time. I can always switch tabs if I think I needed to see something and I can "rewind" to where that bit started. I find I don't get nearly as much handwork done without TV.I don't watch TV. Haven't watched it in literal decades. We have a TV in our living room, however it's for show. It's permanently unplugged.
I don't understand how anybody who has access to the internet would still want to watch TV.
I also like to have music in the background when using the computer. I usually use youtube.When I had a TV, I used to do a lot of crocheting while watching TV.

Maybe you could start a thread about all the things to do with your computer? We might learn and leave our TV behind...I also like to have music in the background when using the computer. I usually use youtube.
But....what about Hee-Haw!?! Or the Sonny and Cher Show?????In the days of appointment television, on three stations, my parents and grandparents made us suffer through all of the musical variety shows.
Truth.Anything James Garner! First Monday, Rockford Files, Maverick, Nichols...if he's in it, it is probably Great!
Now, Ginny. You know this is a family forum.Maybe you could start a thread about all the things to do with your computer? We might learn and leave our TV behind...
That would indeed make a good topic.Maybe you could start a thread about all the things to do with your computer? We might learn and leave our TV behind...
