Sargent Bilko
Conan O Brien
Ernie Kovacks
Ozzie and Harriet
Soupy Sales
Charlie Chan

Well Ted, how about "My Favorite Martian" or "Candid Camera"? Or how about that 'racey' show your parents wouldn't let you watch, Peck's Bad Girl? The others I forgot...My old TV had lines going up, or down! Those were the days, when those old black and whites lit up our livingrooms.

"Hey! What about me, Homer"?
