I haven't watched TV in well over a decade but every once in awhile on YouTube I get recommended an old show.

My all time fav is MASH hands down. Still think it was better than Seinfeld which is the answer a lot of people give to this question when I ask it as all time fav show.

I was wondering what old black and white TV show if any people still watch. YouTube recommended McHale's Navy to me and I binge watched it and loved every second. I loved watching this show as a kid. But, when I think about just the old black and white shows I can't just pick one. There were so many good shows back then. Anyone have a favorite? Trying to decide what to watch next.

My buddy Steve was a huge fan of MASH.

I was an 80's kid. A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Love Boat, Fantasy Island.

I always thought Seinfeld was stupid.

Tried some MASH reruns a year or two ago. Had been a pretty big fan.....but it didn't hold up well for me. Didn't enjoy it much at all now.

I have rewatched (and still enjoyed) Cheers on Netflix. Never 'got' Seinfeld. Most Python episodes have aged well, IMO. I Love Lucy and Honeymooners are still very funny....D!ck Van Dyke show not as much.

That made me think of a new noob question - Wally or the Beaver ?

My Mrs. was a big I Love Lucy fan, but once she started looking at them again they weren't so funny.

I liked The Show of Shows and many of the others mentioned. Currently watching a lot of Two and a Half Men.

some great shows mentioned after the OP, but I have a stock retort when I hear from a McHales Navy fan...it was a total ripoff of the older Phil Silvers/You'll Never Get Rich/Sgt. Bilko show (not sure where you'd find the right series) without the genius of the conniving lead role character.

I mean, McHale would say "let's have a Casino night, boys. Huddle up..." fade to next scene where there are roulette wheels and crap tables etc. From where?

Phil Silvers made the show about how he conned and cajoled everyone to do his bidding and the result would be a casino. You'd have to watch it to see what I mean.

Two other things.
Top Cat was a nearly character for character reproduction of Sgt. Bilko and
Several members of Bilko's platoon from the Motor Pool were also in McHale's Navy
