NOw, you've forgotten the show Combat and ROY ROGERS!!
And, yes, even Hawaii Five-oh.
Those to the good side.
Then put Beverly Hills 90210, Friends, or Party of
Five to be included on the "bad" side.
And don't forget that the Roy Rogers show had a
Historic MV in it probably way before any other
Hollywood production did!
