Greatest TV Show of All Time

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?
 
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.
 
Knight Rider

Several versions of Kitt were used for the show.

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

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?

A show I really enjoyed unfortunately was only on for one season .... Tony Curtis and Roger Moore in " The Persuaders " .... Curtis drove a Ferrari and Moore drove an Aston Martin ......

Route 66..? Always had the newest Corvette

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

McGarret (Hawaii Five-0) had the phone in his car. And CHIPs was gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).

How can you beat Route 66? Ran for four seasons, had three C1s (60, 61 & 62) and two C3s (63 & 64), all convertibles.
 
Let's not leave out our neighbors to the north, I remember "Sgt Preston of the Yukon" and Yukon King, every Saturday morning... Not sure about his auto but remember a really nice dog sled

Aside from the politically incorrect paint job, Bo & Luke and Starsky & Hutch were missing something important from their cars - a clutch pedal.

Some (unfortunately not all) of the Route 66 Vettes were stick shifts. And Bronson always rode a 4 speed. :onthego:
