For pre-1980 or so TV shows -- but not the usual Lucy or Gunsmoke reruns. This subreddit is for the ephemeral TV programs of the pre-VCR era -- the stuff no one ever expected to see again: newscasts, local kiddie shows and horror movie hosts, live TV dramas, game shows, soap operas, teen dance parties... Oh, and kinescopes. Lots and LOTS of kinescopes.

Saw my first Mod Squad.Expected hippies running around LA like the usual '70s cop show,but it was curiously low key; even notorious scenery chewer Tige Andrews was fairly subdued. The opening credits were more exciting than the episode itself; the theme is a classic. & yes, that's Tony Dow in tBG.

"Hey I know that guy! Looks like Peter Breck. Not a very good likeness though... Still, I can use the $500". H'wood wanted posters usually used photos, presumably cheaper than hiring an artist & having the actor pose. From the TV series Tombstone Territory, episode "The Lady Gambler" (1958)
