When we watch TV, we like to watch mostly older shows. Newer shows tend to be too trashy in our opinion. Thanks for watching and drop a comment below letting us know what shows you like to watch, God bless and keep you!

I’m 18 but I’m proud to say I grew up on shows that were airing in the 60s and 70s. Andy Griffith, Hogans Heroes, Gilligan’s Island, Three Stooges, and the big one...M.A.S.H. I still watch MASH and Andy Griffith. Westerns definitely, especially Rifleman, Bonanza, Rawhide, and Gunsmoke. Something I remember watching when my family would go camping in Pigeon Forge TN is the local channel where they’d play local wood workers, smiths, and people who did pottery.

I don't know how I stumbled on your channel but I've been watching for a couple months now because you all do so many interesting things. I really enjoy your music, the devotional time, the rocks, the general conversations and everything else... Your channel is very peaceful. My favorite TV shows are the Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, The Westerns particularly Gun Smoke and Wagon Train. I also like What's Happening, Gilligan's Island and my all time favorite The Twilight Zone. I use to try watching some of the newer programs but in my opinion the quality of the older shows is just better.

We LOVE Grimm too. For the older shows, sometimes we watch Green Acres, of course Andy Griffith, Hogan's Heroes, Gilligans Island like Matt said below. We also have a DVD of a show called "Petticoat Junction" that was on right around the time of the others. For new shows we love "Psych". It's a comedy about a "psychic detective" who is actually just very observant. Also love "Big Bang Theory". It's a comedy about science nerds who work at a college. I think you can see those on KZbin or Amazon Prime if you have a membership. ❤❤

Exactly. So much TV is just getting entertainment from wickedness. Sometimes I watch a show until the nastiness starts and then I don’t watch it anymore. Watching KZbin videos like y’alls and documentaries, Early American, Frontier Patriot, RobWords, Sheepishly Me, clean comedy channels, Bible Q&A from pastors I trust (Mike Winger). That’s mostly it. I got involved in watching inappropriate content as a child and I struggle a lot with guarding my eyes. I don’t have a separate profile on any streaming platforms to guard myself, so my whole family can see what I have watched.

I'm in my 40s, and I've been happy since ditching cable 15 years ago. I get my TV via antenna. I rarely watch TV much, but I enjoy ME-TV and Antenna TV. PBS occasionally has good shows, but I avoid anything made since the 1990s on television. Even the most tame; recent and new shows, somehow sneak degeneracy like sex, social justice issues or violence in their programs.

Growing up my all-time favorite, watched every episode was MASH think I started around 74 or 75 I was real young and I watched it all the way up till it went off the air 82 or 83. And I definitely watched a lot of the older ones you've talked about and I actually like Bonanza, Big Valley quite a few of them. Andy and Barney definitely ranks up there for sure. I used to like to watch the Discovery Channel and History Channel when they were more true-to-life documentary oriented. There is still good shows on there. One of my favorite series is Gold Rush currently. But I have definitely found a lot more interesting stuff on KZbin like you guys your mom Etc... easier to find more of the true to life type shows on KZbin. Thank you and you guys all take care!

Fun video, fun topic. If you like mysteries and detective shows, without the 'gore', "Columbo" and "Monk" are both really good shows. 👍 Roku - You should try watching the vintage "The Price Is Right" shows ! It's so fun just to see what things used to COST back then, compared to now. Pretty eye-opening actually.... and the clothes and hairstyles are a hoot as well ! Fun. One more tip - if you can get any of the older British comedies that were on the BBC Channel, you have to watch "Keeping Up Appearances" with Hyacinth Bucket... she pronounces it 'bouquet'. She's a real gem. ❤️

Television - a poem by Roald Dahl: The most important thing we've learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set -- Or better still, just don't install The idiotic thing at all. In almost every house we've been, We've watched them gaping at the screen. They loll and slop and lounge about, And stare until their eyes pop out. (Last week in someone's place we saw A dozen eyeballs on the floor.) They sit and stare and stare and sit Until they're hypnotized by it, Until they're absolutely drunk With all that shocking ghastly junk. Oh yes, we know it keeps them still, They don't climb out the window sill, They never fight or kick or punch, They leave you free to cook the lunch And wash the dishes in the sink -- But did you ever stop to think, To wonder just exactly what This does to your beloved tot? IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD! IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD! IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND! IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND! HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE! HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE! HE CANNOT THINK -- HE ONLY SEES! 'All right!' you'll cry. 'All right!' you'll say, 'But if we take the set away, What shall we do to entertain Our darling children? Please explain!' We'll answer this by asking you, 'What used the darling ones to do? 'How used they keep themselves contented Before this monster was invented?' Have you forgotten? Don't you know? We'll say it very loud and slow: THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ, AND READ and READ, and then proceed To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks! One half their lives was reading books! The nursery shelves held books galore! Books cluttered up the nursery floor! And in the bedroom, by the bed, More books were waiting to be read! Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales And treasure isles, and distant shores Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars, And pirates wearing purple pants, And sailing ships and elephants, And cannibals crouching 'round the pot, Stirring away at something hot. (It smells so good, what can it be? Good gracious, it's Penelope.) The younger ones had Beatrix Potter With Mr. Tod, the dirty rotter, And Squirrel Nutkin, Pigling Bland, And Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and- Just How The Camel Got His Hump, And How the Monkey Lost His Rump, And Mr. Toad, and bless my soul, There's Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole- Oh, books, what books they used to know, Those children living long ago! So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install A lovely bookshelf on the wall. Then fill the shelves with lots of books, Ignoring all the dirty looks, The screams and yells, the bites and kicks, And children hitting you with sticks- Fear not, because we promise you That, in about a week or two Of having nothing else to do, They'll now begin to feel the need Of having something to read. And once they start -- oh boy, oh boy! You watch the slowly growing joy That fills their hearts. They'll grow so keen They'll wonder what they'd ever seen In that ridiculous machine, That nauseating, foul, unclean, Repulsive television screen! And later, each and every kid Will love you more for what you did.

We love to watch Little House in our house. I, to this day, have modeled my fathering after Charles Ingalls. Such a great show.

I was raised on the TV shows my parents watched when they were kids but 2 shows for a reason. The first was the Red Skelton Show, he and I were friends from 1988 until he passed. More recently I was watching the western Cheyenne and from 2010-2018, the actor from Cheyenne, Clint Walker and I were friends along with his wife. Miss them since they both have passed

So true about all the trash on tv these days. Seems like anything goes. We do have cable and the price is outrageous. I always loved Matlock. Have you all ever watched Murder She Wrote? Touched by an Angel was always good. Blessings to you both and your families. I love watching your mom and dad’s channel. 😊

I totally agree with you ladies about garbage tv now of days. You have given me some great ideas about something to switch to after my subscription is over to my cable. I enjoy the westerns too along with Gaither Gospel music and sports. Katie, I love how you call tv “Satan box” or however you said it and with your permission to use the term also. It’s so good to watch “old souls” or kindred spirits on so many levels. Praying God’s hands continue on you doing His will. Keep up the great music and videos!😊

Cable isn’t offered in the rural area where we live and I am so thankful! We don’t miss cable at all! We watch KZbin as our main tv, we also have PureFlix, it’s clean family friendly. We also have Netflix but rarely watch it. We also binge watch a series.

Peacock has a lot of the old vintage sitcoms as well. Seinfeld, Married with Children and Roseanne to name a few. All of those plus Andy Griffith, Murder She Wrote, and Matlock are all so dear to my heart. Sending love from Arkansas 🫶

I just started watching The Big Valley with Barbara Stanwick. Bros of Decay is a great KZbin channel. He explores abandoned buildings around the world. The best thing about it is the way he and his crew respect the building and their contents. He researches the story behind the find. Have a great day!😊🇨🇦

I gave up cable over a year ago. I don't miss it and there's more money in my pocket. I realized I only miss Turner classic movies. I get Pluto where I watch I love Lucy reruns. I can recite most of the dialogue in all the episodes in real time. I like old talk shows on tubi that are tucked away in my memory from when I was twelve years old when I waited for my mom to return from work around midnight. I don't have an appetite for murder stuff.
