"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.

I made it clear that it didn't qualify but I just wanted to mention it...now laws against that

Sorry, I didn't see your statement about it not qualifying. That's what I get for skimming.
I love it too I just had to laugh because I saw it mentioned a couple of times and didn't pay attention to who said it. I figured it had to be someone really young to consider it old. Made me think about my niece acting like I had an antique when she saw a couple of cassette tapes in the console of my old Jeep.

Just remembered, but it may have been local, in the '50's "The Howdy Doody Show"!!

Oh yeah! I watched reruns of that

Beloved morning shows...
Bozo
H.R. Pufnstuf
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters
Banana splits

[Ginger's Mom]

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.

[caseysmom]

I just went and bought season 5, 6, 7 and 8 of kings of queens...sorry to hijack! I already have season 4.

[crow_noir]

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.)
