Loved this when I was a kid, watching it in reruns. Been rewatching the series on MeTV and am a little stunned by how kid-oriented the show actually was! Still a hoot to watch, though.

I wonder how many years it will be before people get tired of hi-def and revert to old solid state televisions. I have always wanted to get an old 50s TV just to watch 50s programs on.
