Black and White TV

1. Early TV “emperor” whose “palace” hosted sketch-comedy royalty in black and white
5. Sheriff who keeps order in Mayberry mostly with a drawl and a whistle
6. Low-number band where many classics lived long before cable elbowed in
7. Old method of filming a TV screen so live shows could live past opening night
9. Episode that keeps coming back like it never got the memo about being canceled
10. Brooklyn bus driver with big plans and even bigger threats of “sending you to the moon”
12. Audience that somehow laughs perfectly on cue even when nobody’s actually there
15. TV couple who brought their actual kids to work and called it a series

2. Man in a suit who steps out of the shadows to tell you everything’s about to get weird
3. Star who reliably reported emergencies without ever dialing a number
4. Old anthology where being “on TV” might mean you’re trapped inside it
8. Sitcom where chocolate moves faster than human reflexes in a certain factory scene
11. Show that wanted “just the facts,” yet somehow delivered weekly cliffhangers
13. Attorney whose closing arguments tend to sound a lot like sudden confessions
14. Jackie behind the wheel of a bus, forever one outburst away from outer space
