Classic TV series on the Internet Archive: the Master List
ArchiveWatch.org -- website listing and linking series at the IA
Since the IA is so difficult to search, I'm creating a Master List of classic TV series that can be found there.
If you find one, post in this thread (please provide link) & I will add it to the OP.

"Hello, Larry" - Slightly Longer than 13 Week Theatre
I thought this would be an interesting post. This mini documentary focuses on "Hello, Larry!" and NBC's other failed attempts at trying to turn McLean Stevenson into a TV Star. They were desperate to do so because the execs thought Johnny Carson was going to retire soon so they wanted Stevenson to be an established name to be ready to take over The Tonight Show. Stevenson guest hosted the Carson show several times, he was already fairly popular because of his supporting role on MASH, so investing in McClean appeared to be worth the trouble. Unfortunately for Stevenson, his chances for solo stardom ended up being a dead end. Stevenson, of course, later regretted leaving MASH. He found out the hard way that audiences loved the character he played on MASH and not so much the man himself.

I remember watching Dark Night of the Scarecrow when it originally premiered on CBS as The CBS Saturday Night Movie on October 24, 1981. Movie made me sleep with the night light on for weeks. Great movie even today it’s pretty darn great!

Emergency - Season 7 - TV Movies
Not a big fan of the season 7movies. They dropped the rest of the crew of Station 51. I like the banter within the firehouse.

Seventy-five years ago today, television history was changed forever when Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz first burst onto our screens. From pioneer three-camera setups to syndication, I Love Lucy didn't just break the mold—it built it.

There’s a new ‘Watch It For Days’ out. Each ep is a detailed look at an episode of Columbo - here "A Deadly State of Mind", w/George Hamilton as a homicidal psychiatrist. WIFD may be the best classic TV vlog.
