Mission Impossible episodes captivate the young ones
Now hear this! I don’t think I can overstate the positive influence that watching old TV shows on DVD’s has had — on me, my kids, my wife. Get Smart, I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Superman. These stories were invented and written by a group of writers and directors that no longer exists - but they were great. You can get a DVD and watch them uninterupted. Mission Impossible episodes captivate the young ones. If we want to watch something together, it’s a whole lot easier to fit in one or two of the old shows than a movie. Somehow I just don’t run into a lot of stories that I remember, so the plots are fresh, suspensful, surprising and funny. It’s also fun to see my kids watch shows that I watched as a kid when I was as old as they are now. When I first started watching TV this way, I thought I would end up with a favorite series. But the collection of the classic shows from the 60’s to the 90’s is the real treasure. It’s the totality of the collection that I’m happy to have as a resource.
