Old TV Shows ( Part II )

Another restart ( the trolls are relentless   lol ).

In a music thread I mentioned that Michael Nesmith has released a new autobiography. That brings to mind " The Monkees " TV show, a fun program.

The other day the TV show " WRKP In Cincinnati " was mentioned on a local radio station here. I had forgotten what a good show that was and what a funny cast of characters that appeared on the program.

So where do we live ? " 3rd Rock From The Sun " ( another good show ).

Just saw that Liz Dawn has passed away at age 77. Fans of Coronation Street will remember her as Vera Duckworth, a role that she played for many many years. Indeed she even took over the " Rover's Return " pub at one point along with her TV husband.

Thanks for the info Kaynight.

Would you like Door #1, Door #2 or Door #2 ? Yes I just saw where the one and only Monty Hall has passed away at age 96. 

B ( for bump )

Thanks for the post, yes MASH was very good.

   ---   Yes the " Bilko " show was quite good. I think that a lot of people might also remember Silvers from the film " It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World ". 

I see that several full episodes of " On The Buses " are now up on YouTube ( a great UK produced comedy ).

   ---   Thanks for the posts. I agree that the " Yes Minister " was terrific and then the follow up series ( Yes Prime-Minister ) was also very good as well.

Another good series from the UK going back some years was " Last Of The Summer Wine ". Mind you I heard that the people doing that show had their ups and downs, but the show was very funny. 

I think that I mentioned the " Eric Sykes Show " in the pervious thread. That was the first UK produced show I remember seeing over here, it was carried on the CBC back in the mid-1960's. 

Speaking of funny shows we must mention " Dad's Army " starring the great Arthur Lowe. It was a very good show and had a large cast that also included John Le Mesurier.

Arthur Lowe also did well with another funny series years later, this one was entitled " Bless Me Father ".

The New Avengers , growing up that was a must watch and i still have a crush on Joanna Lumley ,
