The Golden Age of Television

For me, classic TV is mostly defined as being shows that were developed before my adulthood. I'm going to say that most TV prior to about 1980, including all black and white TV is "classic TV". Some of these shows may appear in other lists.

Key: Asterisks (*) mean that I have watched all available episodes and Boldfaced means that it's in my top 10.
