Yeah, as young girl it would be the Monkees. I loved them all. But as an adult, I Love Lucy would have been a fun day, I bet. I could talk about Cuban food with Desi. ---

I voted other – as I’d be quite interested to see _Not Only…But Also_, _That was the Week That Was_, _At Last the 1948 Show_, and loads others not listed on the poll as well as have a chance to speak to the people who wrote and worked on those programmes. ---

Dick Van Dyke for me too. I want to hang out with Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie, and of course Dick and Mary. ---

> [@installLSC](#): > > I voted “Green Acres” because not only was the cast so strong front to back, but there’s so much joy in their performances that you got the feeling just hanging around them would fun. Plus imagine the stories Eddie Albert, Eva Gabor, and Pat Buttram could tell. In the 90s a friend played piano at the First Baptist Church of Beverly Hills. The casts of all those semi-overlapping shows attended regularly. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Brooks created the premise of the show and the characters. He also co-wrote three episodes. His involvement with the show pretty much ended with the pilot episode, mainly because he wanted to concentrate on his film _The Producers_. Buck Henry ran the show for the first two seasons. > > [Cite](http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/faq.html). Thanks, cochrane. I guess I’d have to go back to watch the original development. It also explains why I kind of expected the show to be just a little bit funnier when I found out Brooks was involved, although I still think it’s plenty funny. ---
