What 2 RTN shows do you miss the most?
ADVERTS 1
Icebergs post of Memories of Galaxy 10R got me to thinking.... What 2 RTN TV shows do you miss the most? They had so many of my favourite shows playing. The two I miss the most are:
1) Hawaii Five-O
2) My Three Sons

There was one RTN affiliate that had 3 classic westerns on in a row, everyday, Mon - Fri. Rawhide, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke. They eventually changed their schedule a year & 1/2 ago, maybe 2 years ago. I can't remember now which channel it was, but I loved it at the time. I guess that's 3 shows, not 2, so forgive me, but I really miss that line-up.
And to think it was totally, legally free too.
Wow...

Tron,

If they have changed their schedule since then, I will find out Monday morning and have to reschedule my reserved recordings.

I would like to see the old B&W episodes of Gunsmoke and the Rawhide series, too!

I know many like the new series, but they don't do anything for me, personally. I like the original series so much better, even though they are reruns. I would rather watch them over and over again then any of the new spin-offs.
They can write a new dialogue, a new story. They can design a new starship and new gadgets, but they cannot create new personalities for the show! James T. Kirk will always and forever be James T. Kirk! Mr. Spock will always be Mr. Spock, Bones will always be Bones! And Scotty will always be Scotty! No one will ever replace them in any way or manner!
I found the "New Generation" Star Trek to be too dull, too mundane in the personalities of the characters. The props and the special effects are much more advanced, but that is not what made the original show what it was, it was the personality, the human factor of the original show that made it great. You can (or at least I could) identify with their personalities.
The spinoffs left me empty as I couldn't identify with the characters. They just seemed to be actors on a stage. No feeling - no personal touch, just dry recitals of memorized lines. Except maybe Geordie LaForge... That showed some really great skill and personality.
This is all my own opinion of course, and I am just an OLD Trekkie!
Does anyone remember the episode "The Menagerie"? The one with Captain Christopher Pike and the Talosians (of Talos IV)? The only two part episode... #11 and #12.
The actress who was to seduce Capt Pike (Susan Oliver) also played the green Gorgon belly dancer (Vina) on "The Cage".
I saw her on an episode of the Andy Griffith show (Prisoner of Love) just the other day on KLRT Fox 16 Little Rock. I knew that I recognized her and so I watched for her name on the credits and looked up her career. She was also on episodes of the Twilight Zone.
