Complete List of Movies:
Ozzie and Harriet (1952-1966) - 6x30
minute episodes The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, starring Ozzie, Harriet,
David and Ricky Nelson, is television's longest running situation comedy.
America watched this active middle-class American family grow up with adventures
created, directed and written by Ozzie Nelson. The show's set design is an exact
replica of the house the Nelsons owned in real life. The one mystique on the
series was Ozzie's source of income — he was only seen hanging around the house!
Stories revolve primarily around the four Nelsons, with a notable neighbor,
Thorny Thornberry, who can be counted on to offer Ozzie ill-timed advice. As the
series progressed, and the boys began to date, a succession of friends began to
appear. The show that aired on April 10, 1957, featured son Ricky singing I'm
Walkin', the Fats Domino hit. It became a million-selling record and Ricky
started a career as a rock'n'roll star.
Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond
(1959) - 3x30 minute episodes Produced at the same time as the more well-known
Twilight Zone, this series fed the nation's growing interest in paranormal
suspense in a different way. Rather than creating fictional stories with
supernatural twists and turns, this program sought out real stories of the
supernatural, including ghosts, disappearances, monsters, etc., and re-creating
them for each episode. No solutions to these mysteries were ever found, and
viewers could only scratch their heads and wonder, What if it's real?
Flash
Gordon (1953-1954) - 3x30 minute episodes Based on Alex Raymond's legendary
sci-fi comic strip hero, these vintage television episodes present the journeys
of space hero Flash Gordon (Steve Holland). Along with the lovely Dale Arden
(Irene Champlin) and the brilliant Dr. Zharkov (Joe Nash), Flash represents the
Galaxy Bureau of Investigation in an ongoing quest to keep the cosmos safe.
Mr. and Mrs. North (1952) - 7x30 minute episodes Jerry and Pamela North live
in Greenwich Village in New York City. Jerry (Richard Denning) is a mystery
magazine publisher who thinks he is a good amateur detective. He and his wife
(Barbara Britton) investigate various crimes and solve them before the police
do.
Bonanza (1959-1972) - 3x1 hour episodes The Cartwrights'
thousand-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch is located near Virginia City, Nevada, site
of the Comstock Silver Lode during and after the Civil War. Each of the sons was
born to a different wife of Ben's; none of the mothers is still alive. Join Ben
(Lorne Greene), Adam (Pernell Roberts), Hoss (Dan Blocker) and Little Joe
(Michael Landon) as they rewrite the book on the western genre. These were the
days where family values and the fight for justice were backed up by six-guns
that always had right on their side.
The Lone Ranger (1949-1956) - 6x30
minute episodes The lone surviving Texas Ranger (Clayton Moore) who was nursed
back to health by the Indian Tonto (Jay Silverheels) rides with him, on Silver
and Scout, throughout the West, doing good while living off a silver mine which
supplies him with income and bullets. Possibly the most recognizable and beloved
of all classic western characters, The Lone Ranger became an icon for the
triumph of good over evil for children and adults alike.
Burns and Allen
Show (1950-1958) - 6x30 minute episodes This is the television show that broke
all the molds. There was no comedienne at that time (or for that matter, any
time) better than Gracie! No one could act that dumb! She was poetry to watch.
As George used to say, he stood while Gracie talked! What a pair they were. The
Burns & Allen Show developed a format that gave birth to the television sit-com
as we know it today. Witty, ironic, loveable… discover American comedy at its
best!
Life with Elizabeth (1952-1955) - 6x30 minute episodes While still
appearing on daily Los Angeles television, Betty White, with two male partners,
co-founded Bandy Productions in 1952 to produce her own self-starring situation
comedy. A direct out-growth of some of White's daytime sketches, Life with
Elizabeth told the story of married couple Elizabeth and Alvin (played by Del
Moore). It was an unusual program in several respects, not the least of which
was its twenty-eight-year-old co-creator, producer, and star. Each episode
consisted of three vignettes, three different plots. Leisurely paced,
Elizabeth's stories had a ring of I Love Lucy about them. While Elizabeth never
launched any outrageous schemes, the comic conflicts often grew out of husband
Alvin's disapproval of her logic.

Dragnet
(1951-1959) - 6x30 minute episodes The story you are about to see is true. Just
the facts, ma'am. We were working the day watch… Phrases which became so popular
as to inspire much parody set the realistic tone of this early police drama. The
show emphasized careful police work and the interweaving of policemen's
professional and personal lives. The show featured the inimitable Sergeant Joe
Friday (Jack Webb) and his trusty sidekick, Officer Frank Smith (Ben Alexander).
Dangerous Assignment (1949-1953) - 6x30 minute episodes Film actor Brian
Donlevy played Steve Mitchell, an international operative who had two jobs: get
in and out of danger. Donlevy had the voice and delivery to make the show sound
plausible, even if it was routine Cold War brushfire stuff. Herb Butterfield was
the Commissioner, a taskmaster shrouded in secrecy who served up the situations
that Mitchell seems never to refuse. The Commissioner's secretary is played by
Betty Moran. She actually seems to care about Steve's welfare. The Commissioner
is just concerned about the fare.
Racket Squad (1951-1953) - 6x30 minute
episodes One of television's first classic crime shows, Racket Squad starred
Reed Hadley as captain John Braddock, tireless investigator for San Francisco's
Racket Squad, who tracked down a wide variety of flimflammers and con artists.
Based on actual cases, the show's realistic approach to police work set a new
standard for crime dramas. This half-hour show was produced by Hal Roach, Jr.
and Carroll Case and was twice nominated for an Emmy award as Best Mystery
Series.
You Bet Your Life (1950-1961) - 6x30 minute episodes You Bet Your
Life was taken from Groucho Marx's radio series of the same name. It was
inspired after Groucho had done an improvisation scene with Bob Hope on the
radio. The idea was to invite people on the show and then ask them a few
questionable questions. This always led to improvised and inspired comic
interaction with the unsuspecting guests. The subplot, which was almost
incidental, was a quiz show with an alleged goal of winning money!! Possibly one
of the funniest television shows of all time and a real treat for the
uninitiated.
Red Skelton Show (1952-1970) - 6x30 minute episodes This
long-running weekly show spotlighted America's legendary comedian and beloved TV
clown, Red Skelton. Each show featured a series of hilarious comedy skits, gags
and vignettes starring Skelton and guest performers. An illustrious roster of
writers for the show included the inimitable Johnny Carson. The format for the
show was a comedy breakthrough that set the groundwork for future shows
including Laugh-in and Saturday Night Live.
The Andy Griffith Show
(1960-1968) - 6x30 minute episodes Widower Sheriff Andy (Andy Griffith) and his
son Opie (Ron Howard) live with Andy's Aunt Bea in Mayberry, NC. With virtually
no crimes to solve, most of Andy's time is spent philosophizing and calming down
his cousin Deputy Barney (Don Knotts). Put your feet up and travel back to a
time when plain folks were the rule and Aunt Bea's apple pie was always on the
table.
The Beverly Hillbillies (1962-1971) - 6x30 minute episodes Meet the
Clampett clan: There's Jed (Buddy Ebsen), a kind and sensible man turned
millionaire; Granny (Irene Ryan) - old and senile, paranoid, and always certain
she knows how to deal with a situation; Elly May (Donna Douglas) - Incredibly
beautiful but awful naive! And Jethro Bodine (Max Baer Jr.) - the stupid nephew
of Jed. He's as strong as he is dumb; and Mr. Drysdale (Raymond Bailey), a
greedy banker who will do anything to keep the Clampett money in his bank, even
if he has to hurt other people. Anyway, they've struck oil, gotten millions of
dollars, moved into a giant mansion, but still live like hillbillies! Come on in
to where the fun never stops.
Trouble With Father (1950-1952)- 6x30 minute
episodes Originally called Life With the Erwins, this show first aired October
21, 1950, but, once syndicated, it became Trouble With Father. Stu Erwin played
himself, the folksy good natured bumbling principal of Hamilton High School.
Most of the story revolves around the Erwin household, in which June Collyer is
his wife June, and Sheila James (who nine years later was Zelda Conroy, the girl
in love with Dobie Gillis) is their young daughter Jackie.
