It's so funny to watch, yeah I know it's good for that time period but I laugh at most of it. I still love the plots and stuff, they're well-written and I enjoy the episodes but some of the stuff is so funny.

In one episode there's an alien called the Horta - OH come on it looks like a giant meatball monster.
That's funny! I felt the same way about my mother's generation and her movies. She told me that the old Dracula movies w/Bela Lugosi scared her to death. You've got to be kidding me! For its time, though, it was scary stuff. Like you, I like the old movies and TV shows, too, which is why I'm watching "Upstairs Downstairs", an old Masterpiece Theatre show from PBS which began in 1971 and ran for 6 years. It's about life in England at the turn of the 20th century through WW1 and beyond. It really gives us a good look into that time period regarding customs, politics, family life, etc. Someone your age would more than likely find it to be boring, especially w/the archaic language w/words such as "scoundrel" and "scalawag" and songs such as "A Bicycle Built For Two". It was a simpler time then, the pace was much slower and the people were so much more polite to each other. I've always felt drawn to that time period and often wish that I had lived then instead of now.
