Greatest TV Show of All Time

[Rob S.]

It is with some sadness that I proclaim that Then Came Bronson was not the greatest tv show ever (although it is the second greatest).
The greatest show ran for 4 seasons, yet had 5 different model years of it's star, always being the newest. Some of you youngsters may be able to guess, but your grand pappys will know for sure.

Honorable mention goes to Hawaii Five-0 and Mission Impossible for their roomy, sensible cars. Today it would be mission impossible to even find a full sized car, let alone a full sized convertible.

I grew up waaaay more subdued Rob... Your thread title just shouted out at me, unquestionably "Andy Griffith" and "Carol Burnett" (the episodes with Tim Conway). Did you notice the autos in Andy Griffith? 95% Fords.

For cars Perry Mason rules ..... Perry drove a convertible Lincoln and private eye Paul Drake drove a four door convertible T-bird ......

Don't forget those huge Chrysler's Mr. Drysdale and Jane Hathaway drove in The Beverly Hillbillies.

So, what was the show? Is this a quiz question thread?

[tlg1100]

I always check out the cars in old t.v shows , I've DVR lately a lot of Dragnet , Adam-12 , and rockford files .

Sometimes I'll look up the episodes online and find some interesting side notes .

Who was the guy that had a telephone in his car?
I always thought that was cool!

FBI was a show that unabashedly proclaimed Ford as the title sponsor. Lots of cool old LTD's and similar, graced the screen.

Route 66..? Always had the newest Corvette

I would have said Rockford Files but I know that James Garner insisting on keeping the ‘75 Firebird 0r was it the 76 or 77 even as new models were introduced. At least that’s what I remember reading.
great site to have up when you’re watching old shows/movies.

Knight Rider

Several versions of Kitt were used for the show.

As for the best TV....I agree with above.....Carol Burnett....hands down.

Various other comedies for me....Smothers Brothers and Laugh-in. but Hee Haw appealed to my sense of humour.



Ed Sullivan lasted for years and gave us Elvis and Beatles., as well as many others.

No cars, though..

Maybe MacGyver?

[rphillips]

tig, don't forget Bo and Luke Duke and Starsky and Hutch and that fugly Ford Gran Torino they drove. Oh yeah, Maxwell Smart had a phoe in his shoe, don't remember him in a car.
