The Andy Griffith Show

A suburban Chicago family is pestered by nerdy, nosy neighbor Steve Urkel in this long-running spin-off of 'Perfect Strangers' (Harriette Winslow was the wisecracking elevator operator at the newspaper where Larry and Balki worked).

One of TV's most durable and wholesome sitcoms is about widower Steve Douglas and his boys, who shared a house with their maternal grandfather, and later, their crotchety uncle. The series was originally scheduled to be a vehicle for the Lennon Sisters of 'Lawrence Welk Show' fame. Characters came and went, but this was an endearing, highly rated series throughout its 1960-72 run; when it moved from ABC to CBS in 1965, Mike, the eldest, was written out, and replaced by adopted son Ernie.

Two families of five try to guess what the 'survey said' in polls conducted with 100 people in this durable game show. Ray Combs took over as the host of this version from 1988-94, and original emcee Richard Dawson returned for one season in 1994.

A Bill Cosby revival of the popular segment originally seen on 'Art Linkletter's House Party' (1952-69). Cos interacts with youngsters between the ages of 4 and 8 in the studio and on location, eliciting predictably unpredictable remarks. There are also vintage clips from Linkletter's show.

Mary O'Hara's story of a boy and his horse takes place at the turn of the 19th century on the Goose Bar Ranch in Montana. 'My Friend Flicka' was first made into a 1943 movie, which boasted a memorable performance by a young Roddy McDowall.
