The Jeffersons
My question is.....why can't shows like these be made any more? Nothing today stacks up. :(
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Northern Exposure
I forgot, LOVE CONNECTION :D
"Moonlighting" ... was on ABC when I was in college, I want to say Tuesday nights but I could be wrong
"Murphy Brown"
"Newhart"
"M*A*S*H"
"Happy Days"
I was (still am) a total game show addict - Password, The $10,000 Pyramid, Jeopardy, Name That Tune, Hollywood Squares.
I was watching the beginning of the daytime Emmy awards at which Bob Barker was honored on his retirement. One of the first awards went to Genie Francis for "General Hospital" -- she is still playing the same character, on the same show, that she did when I was in high school, 25 years ago. Wow! And with the same guy, too. I didn't know that Luke and Laura are still on "General Hospital". I thought they were long gone!
Just remembered, but it may have been local, in the '50's "The Howdy Doody Show"!! I liked Mr Bluster but my favorite was always the Indian Princess "Summer Fall Winter Spring". When playing cowboys and Indians I always wanted to be an Indian. Another one (that would never appear on re-runs, too Politically Incorrect) Amos & Andy. Now I really am aging myself. Our TV was black and white of course, and the screen was small and sort of round.
Sorry, I didn't see your statement about it not qualifying. :o That's what I get for skimming. :pQuote:

nah I'm old as dirt :p I just get obsessed with shows and I am currently obsessed with king of queens.Quote:

LOL, Freedom you must be about the same age as I am, we watched the same shows. Yeah, Flying Nun was after Gidget. And My Mother the Car? I think that show was only on for one season. But yes, it was Jerry Van Dyke, and I think Ann Southern was the voice of the car/mother. :) Man, we had good shows back in the 60's. Oh what about Here Come the Brides and Laugh-In. :D
I just went and bought season 5, 6, 7 and 8 of kings of queens...sorry to hijack! I already have season 4.
I'm one of those youngin's... so the best of TV to me is the cartoons of the 80's. (I liked a majority of them so I'm not going to even try listing them.) (*sniffle* R.I.P. Yesterdayland.com )
I also enjoyed watching re-runs of Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, and LambChop's Play-a-long (as well as new episodes of the latter.)
Other than that i don't have any old time favorites.
Most of my favorite non-kid shows are from the 90's. I don't consider that such a long time ago... though it's setting in that it is. Mmmmm Wolf Lake, The Kindred, and American Gothic.
Oh, almost forgot... I loved watching The Golden Girls and The Nanny. (Again... not what I'd consider classic.)
Thank you Anna for reminding me of The Monkees, The Addams Family, The Munsters, and Batman (Yes, I'm talking about the *Bam!* *Pow!* version.)
Oh, and The Tales From the Crypt!
OMG THANK YOU lbaker. Northern Exposure and Mork & Mindy. M&M was one of my favorite shows ever! Speaking of things i used to watch with mom... Highlander!
Thank you Mruffruff... though you didn't say it you reminded me of it... Red Dwarf.
Thanks Jods for somehow reminding me of the game show with the Whammie. That was one of my all time favorite shows too.
Cali for reminding me of ALF and Smokey fro reminding me of Night Court.
And of course I was a junkie for all of the science shows whether they were on PBS or or something else. ( Like Mr. Wizard.)
Oh come on you aren't much older than me I think. I'm no where near dirt!Quote:

crow_noir-Mark and I both LOVED American Gothic! We were so disappointed when it went off air:(
And since everyone is talking about King of Queens...it's one of my favorite shows and I would love to buy the seasons ( I'm jealous of you caseysmom!)
Squeee!!! OMG! Every time i mention the show people just go "Huh?"
Wow, there are actually other fans out there. *faint*
That is so cool. Thanks for letting me know.
Oh sweet! Supposedly it came out in 2005 on DVD.
:D I just checked and WL is out on DVD now also. I remember checking last year or the year before and there was like only one lady that you could get copies from and you had to be an internet sleuth to find her. I was *this* close to ordering the set... but wondered about the quality since it was recorded from the TV.

I was thinking....if enough of us write to somebody, maybe we can get King of Queens back in production?? Wishful thinking!! :)
Anna66, oh yeah, the Banana Splits were great! Fleagle, Drooper, Bingo and Snorky! Bozo and H R PufNStuf, whoa, he he.
Ginger's Mom: Sock It to Me, Sock It to Me!! :D
Great bringing back memories of the good ol days everyone!!
I loved to watch "Nick at Nite" with shows mentioned, like Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons, Donna Reed...
I also loved watching some of the good 70's shows...Sanford and Son, Good Times "dyn-o-mite", Monkeys, Threes Company with Mr. Filrly, and The Ropers...and Mork and Mindy!! (Laurie you mentioned his!! "Nanu Nanu" ;)!!
Thinking back, I feel like I'm a kid again on summer break, watching all of these...
I miss Laugh In. Dan Roland, Dick Martin, Goldie Hawn and all the guests were hilarious. Light and fluffy fun.
That's ROWAN, Dan ROWAN. Who can forget Arte Johnson as the "dirty od man!" Ha ha ha. He got wacked sith that purse more times . . . .Quote:

Just thought of another one I just loved as a kid. "Topper". Cosmo Topper was a rich banker that was the only human that could hear the "ghosts" of the couple that died while sking and their ghost dog Neil, the St. Bernard that died trying to rescue them. I think that's what first made me fall in love with Saints :) Neil carried a flask on his neck and had a bit of a drinking problem :rolleyes: I believe this was on in the 50's so black & white of course :o
When I was a teenager I had a big crush on Mannix...

I may have missed it, but I can't believe no one said the A-Team!
And Staci is the only one that said Dukes of Hazzard? Love them Duke Boys!!!
We have a few season of each of those two on DVD. The other "old" shows we have are Andy Griffith and In Living Color.
And for those that mentioned the game show with the Whammies...Press Your Luck. I used to watch that all the time in the summer along with Bewitched, Family Ties, Three's Company, Sale of the century, Price is Right and the Facts of Life
Ooh, raises hand, me me, I liked Lost in Space. That was a good kids show. And yes, Baretta had the bird (cockatoo?), but he wasn't blind. Longstreet (James Franciscus-yummy) was blind, and had a white shepherd named Pax (I forget now if there were two or three dogs that took turns playing Pax).
LOL! Amy, Mark said exactly the same thing:DQuote:
