Classic TV: The 50s : NETFLIX

In the last few weeks or so, Netflix has added some 50s shows to their broadstreaming account.

Roy Rogers
Cisco Kid
Hopalong Cassidy
Ozzie and Harriet
Twilight Zone
Dennis the Menace
...to name a few

Thanx very much for this tip.

You're welcome - just search 50s tv. Enjoy!

I can't get Netflix since I am Australian, but it is nice to see 1950s TV expanding its sources of availablity. I do hope they expand and offer a wide range of programs by 2015. Perhaps "I Married Joan" might be a good choice? The 15 or 16 PD episodes which circulate on the Internet Archive/YouTube are not enough.

Perhaps with Netflix raising the bar in the competition with Amazon, maybe Amazon will expand as well. Do you get Amazon or Hulu? I just thought everyone was able to get these websites.

they have also added some seventy's tv shows: Emergency for one...they also put the second season of Dual Survival and the last season of 30 Rock. I used to really love the Cisco Kid when I was a kid..loved his black outfit and sombrero...liked Poncho too. I wonder if they will start showing Rin Tin Tin or Wild Bill Hickcock? Or even Jungle Jim and/or Ramar of the Jungle? those were all fifties tv shows I used to watch. Do you remember that series with Buster Crabbe in the French Foreign Legion with Fuzzy Knight? Captain Gallant?

It's easy to maintain your integrity when no one is offering to buy it out.

Netflix does have Ramar (several episodes have Woody Strode). The Buster Crabbe series was titled Captain Gallant of the French Foreign Legion.

But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!".
