Despite the fact that we have several hundred TV channels I find I watch less and less TV as I get older but in the 1960s I did watch TV regularly even though we only had two (or was it three?) channels and it was mostly black and white! Of course, everyone’s tastes are different but one comedy duo I did watch, and watched constantly week after week was Eric and Ernie.
This article arose out of a desire to find some DVDs of 1960s programs to watch in the evenings and my wife suggested Morecambe and Wise as it was a program that we both liked. So the links below are all (at the time I wrote this) available on Amazon and a link to each is shown below so that you can have a look and see if that DVD is for you.
As you will know, I am working through the ‘Radio Times’ for the mid 1960s and the series of posts is currently at Sunday afternoon on the Light Program, a link to the latest post is 
I noticed in the shops this last weekend in the UK that there was the start issue of a series (either weekly or monthly, I’m not sure) of a magazine which features episodes from the Bonanza TV series of the 1960s.
A Western, but a family entertainment Western, maybe more of a Western soap. Bonanza went down so well in the 1960s that it ran throughout the decade and then into the 1970s making it one of the longest running Westerns.
A great and truly classic American sitcom that has been repeated time after time and which I saw (again) a few weeks ago. I thought it was being shown on Living TV but I can’t find it in the schedules so if anyone knows where it is at the moment please post a comment below.
OK, I admit it, I am something of a Star Trek fan but you won’t find much of a mention in this blog about it, I’m afraid.
