[DubiousIntentions]

Those are some old shows. Nothing more recent that supersedes these? I loved Chris Reeves and Jane Seymour in Somewhere in time. Not my favorite but a good runner up.

[abc3643]

Newer isn't necessarily better. Ask Beethoven and Mozart.

[DubiousIntentions]

Yes, but how many people actually listens to their music these days? Plus they didn't have TV shows. Do you like the 3 stooges and Little Rascals too? Even today they get some laughs.

[abc3643]

I do like the 3 Stooges and the Little Rascals although I would not count them as TV shows since their films were shorts and seen at the movies before the main movie.

One particular Little Rascals episode that I love is "Pups Is Pups" from 1930. In 2004, "Pups Is Pups" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

As for Beethoven and Mozart, millions listen to them every day on classical music radio stations. And we hear their music on TV and in movies often.

Listen to this video: You certainly have heard these songs on TV or in movies at some point.
