We had only one television set in our home. Star Trek came on the same time as The Big Valley. My brother was a huge Star Trek fan and I felt the same about Big Valley. My fathers way of handling the situation was to say whom ever made it home first from school got their choice. My brother and I raced home from the bus stop every day. I made the track team every year in high school because of this routine, I believe. My brother used his lawn mowing money to buy his own television as he finally gave up :)
I am very happy Hulu is passing the series on to the next generation. It brings back very fond memories for me.
