Bonanza Bonanza shows old black and white American TV shows such as The Beverly Hillbillies and Dragnet, there's a possibility it could appear on there, but it's difficult to find a schedule and the EPG on my Freesat box for it is blank.
You know, you may be right. BBC2 and Channel 4 always used to show B&W movies, now not so much. Same applies to classic cartoons ie Droopy, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny etc why are they obsolete on TV now?? And don't tell me they are on DVD, I am talking about what is shown on British terrestrial TV!
Boomerrang, Dinsney and Cartoon Channel are showing Classic Flintstones, Scooby, Tom and Jerry, Micky Mouse and Looney toons - Also ALL NEW T&J, Looney and stui
It truly was an excellent show (the original B&W I don't care so much for the revivals). It wasn't faultless though as there were many filler episodes, and ones where you could see the twist ending coming from a mile away, but often too there were some truly excellent episodes that were chilling, smart, and represented very pressing social issues about 60s America. I think Rod Serling was a genius, so many well crafted stories he carved into a 25 minute episode.
I'd definitely recommend the Blu-Rays that came out a few years ago, I have the first 4 series. Not only do they feature a pristine High Def Digital Remastering of the show, theres also a lot of extras from notes, commentarys, interviews and soundtracks each of the episode. They give a good insight into the making of the series, as Serling was constantly fighting the network and censors in regards to the message he could get.
The only downside though is for some reason the prices of these sets fluctuate wildly, it seems high at the moment (circa £18, I think I got mine for about £13 each)
