Only a few decades ago, “The Andy Griffith Show” was as popular as “Seinfeld” is today, and “Medical Center” was the “ER” of its day. Preserving this broadcast heritage is part of the mission of the Museum of Television & Radio, the New York organization that is opening a Beverly Hills site on Monday.

A visit to the museum in person--or online at https://www.mtr.org--might send television and radio fans seeking more information about programming.

The Ultimate TV List --at https://tvnet.com/UTVL/utvl.html--has the most comprehensive selection of links to TV shows, classic or otherwise. Users can choose from a listing of more than 664 programs, which leads to an inventory of virtually all the Internet resources for a particular show.

If you are looking for “the place where reruns are fun!” head over to Nostalgic TV Land at https://www.tvland.com, which has entertaining historic television information including the TV Time Tunnel, a timeline of television’s greatest moments from inception through 1995.
