A Classic Week, 13 October 2003
Author: Brian Washington (Sargebri@att.net) from Los Angeles, California

This was one of those mini-series that brought back fond memories for me. Imagine a whole week of highlights of classic CBS shows and seeing all the great stars that graced that network. This was a wonderful look at the shows that I grew up with and I'm only mad that I didn't record it because of the fact that I love shows like this. This really brought back some fond memories.
