In reply to the discussion: What was a favourite show/movie of your childhood that did not dissappoint when you watched [View all]Paladin
(28,255 posts)37. I caught a few shows a couple of years ago, late at night.
I was impressed at how well the series held up, and how unusually dark some of the story lines were. I never missed it when I was growing up in Austin. One show was actually set in Austin---the whole town shut down the night it aired. (FYI: It was the episode where George Maharis got knocked in the head on a construction job and was temporarily blinded---temporary blindness was a real staple of TV dramas, back in the early 60's.)

Never disappointed with original Andy Griffith, MTM, or any of the Newhart series.

Captain Kangaroo. I loved it as a child when it first aired back in the 50's.
