Amongst the 1950's and the early 1960's shows, which are your favorite ones and why?

The Twilight Zone has a great look indeed but also The Untouchables' first season. But my number one monochrome remains The Outer Limits thanks to Conrad Hall and William Fraker. Stoney Burke also look good thanks to Ted McCord and Conrad Hall. Thriller has its share of greatness. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea has a beautiful first season in monochrome.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea's first season, agreed. Beautifully done. Richard Basehart was at his best on the series. Lost in Space's first season. Wonderful cinematography, much more serious overall than the rest with fresher plots and solid performances. Great music also. The Fugitive: wonderfully shot and written, with a roster of some of the best actors on television, 12 O'Clock High: same as above.

Another vote for THE OUTER LIMITS. Great show overall, and with very particularly stylised photography.

Mr. Ed ("A horse is a horse, of course, of course. And no one would talk to a horse, of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.") 77 Sunset Strip ("The street that wears a fancy label, That's glorified in song and fable. The most exciting people pass you by, including a private eye.") Perry Mason bored me to death. A never ending talk-a-thon with an expressionless lead actor.

The Untouchables' for me but up until 1973 everything was black and white in my country.. Thats a good point. We were one of the first in my road to get a colour telly in 1969. They were nearly all rentals then. It was a Baird from Granada Rentals! Back in those days there was always a t.v campaign pushing for colour t.vs ahead of big sports events, eg 68mexico olympics and 70 world cup. Danger man is a good shout. and early Dads Army was b/w too.

Were there any western shows from this era where the cinematography was on the same level as the movie "Blood on the Moon"? That is the most beautifully photographed black and white western movie I have ever seen. Jimbo, Wait for June 2014 when Paramount will release the odd season 7 of "Rawhide" produced by Bruce Geller alias Mr. Mission: Impossible. Then and only then, we'll see the results of revisionist Geller on "Rawhide" which may breed interesting photography. I advise you to read this comprehensive blog about "Rawhide" done by an expert. http://classictvhistory.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-rawhide/
