Shows for grown-ups as perceived when you were a kid

[Allhallowsday]

I can remember my mother calling the four of us on the phone... "You're not watching that filthy movie...?"  

It'd be movies like VALLEY OF THE DOLLS or ROSEMARY'S BABY ...  

Of course, she'd remind us to watch them filthy movies.

I feel safe in saying that Unosolved Mysteries was not a show meant for kids, however as a kid I loved it and i STILL think it holds up as one of the scariest shows that's ever been on TV.

My folks let me watch Hawaii Five O as a kid and my Dad pointed out Khigh Diegh as Wo Fat, saying "that's the bad guy, Trev."



No disrespect intended but I didn't find him scary at all.

Then along comes this guy in the reboot series



and I got the crap scared out of me.
