Old Tv Shows 1950s

Posted on  by admin

Growing up in the 1960's, I watched many a sitcom. Some of the titles were in re-run (the 1950's shows), but I watched them just the same as a pre-teen boy.
I suppose some of these shows helped shape me, in who I am today. I've probably watched every show from every title, multiple times.
Titles are listed by watched/liked the most, in order, to the best of my recollection. Making this list has been a trip down memory lane and it was a lot of fun to create. It's been years since I've thought about many of these shows. Thanks to IMDb for having a great database that I could search from!
Feel free to leave comments, and cheers to the great sitcoms of the 1960's!
