At the risk of perpetuating a non-germane thread, our favorites, among
others, were "Your Show of Shows" with Sid Caeser and Imogene Coca,
"Broadway Open House" with Morey Amsterdam and Dagmar, and "One Man's
Family" with Eva Marie Saint, etc., etc... We watched them on our first TV
set, a 5-inch B&W Sylvania, about the size of a small refrigerator.  In
fact, it was *bigger* than our under-the-counter refrigerator in the WWII
veteran's shack, where we spent three years from 1949-1952, while I was an
undergrad at M.I.T.  I don't think it's just nostalgia that makes me think
those programs were better than most of what's on TV today.
