What are some of the best 1950's , 60's , 70's , 80's & 90's Television Shows

One show I forgot to mention, but watched often, is the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. It was hilarious!
 
Good Times is a sitcom that aired 1974 until 1979 on the CBS television network. Good Times is a spin-off of Maude, which was itself a spin-off of All in the Family.

Florida Evans was originally Maude Findlay's maid until, in the spring of 1974, she got a show of her own. Florida and James Evans were lower middle-class blacks living with their three children in a high-rise ghetto on the south side of Chicago.

According to IMDb
The setting is implied to be the Cabrini Green Housing Projects on Chicago's North Side. It's never mentioned by name, but exterior shots of the buildings were featured in the opening and closing credits. On March 30, 2011, the last of the Cabrini Green High Rises were knocked down.

and according to me, the building seen through the window is the Cabrini Extension mid-rise at 411 W. Oak Street where I worked!

Loved Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

I also had this vague recollection of a really cool western with a sci fi feel but whenever I mentioned it to somebody they thought I was crazy.

Then, lo and behold, Will Smith stars in "Wild Wild West" and I wasn't crazy.
 
How did I completely forget about The Flying Nun? When I was around 4 years old (1967), I remember having a crush on Sally Field, lol.

At the same age, I also remember liking the opening and closing credits of Petticoat Junction. I liked the girls (even at that age), and old trains like the one shown were an obsession of mine.
