Many good responses.
As a recent 58 yr. old I go way back.
One thing that I don't understand is the new format
on TV for the last 30-40 years.
Comedy shows: 30 minutes
Dramas: 1 hour
Gone are the hour long comedy shows, with host and guests
Gone are the half hour dramas. I would think that, with everyone's short attention span nowadays, that a half hour drama could work.
Twilight Zone and many other dramatic programming, worked well in a half hour format.

 

[Ask Mr. Religion]

Carnivale

AMR

 

[Uberpod1]

Soap.

Definitely! -- but they'd have to redo the entire last season.


How 'bout Get Smart?

 

[Rusha]

ER (back in the George Clooney days)
Dark Shadows, Night Gallery

 

[Psalmist]

These would be great...
Dragnet
MacGyver
Gunsmoke
Rawhide
Route 66
Wagon Train

A newcomer show that didn't make it after two tries: Forgotten
