Old Doctor Whos

Despite their incredible age and, at times, irrelevance to my modern sensibilities, I'm getting a huge kick watching the surviving episodes of the 1960s Doctor Who.  Due to a policy of taping over episodes once the BBC had determined that there was no longer any financial benefit to them, over 100 episodes of Doctor Who no longer exist.  Fortunately, thanks to off-air taping and random clips gathered from around the world, many of these older episodes at least exist in part.  Compared to the highly edited and (partially) advanced special effects of the modern, excellent Doctor Who series, these original episodes seem more like a play than a TV show.  Yet these quaint adventures with the ridiculous Daleks and giant bee monster-puppets are fun for me and my son versus the more intense modern incarnation of the good doctor.  Old doesn't always mean boring.  A Good way to spend a lazy Sunday.
