Inspired by most of the fond memories people have in discussing Scooby Doo, I’d like to know what other shows people watched when younger that they still like today. Here’s a few of mine:
A-Team
Rockford Files
Land of the Lost
G-Force
I’d really like to see the D&D cartoon again, that was the last cartoon I faithfully watched on Saturdays.
Magnum, P.I.
Land of the Lost
That cartoon with the skunk - Pepe le Peu? - the one who madly pursued the black cat who accidentally got a white stripe down her back, thus causing Pepe to believe that she was also a skunk
Miami Vice
And on the rare occasion when I’m really feeling like I want my mommy, I watch The New Zoo Revue.
Ahhhh, the tv of my youth…
Let’s see:
Laugh-In
Gilligan’s Island
Scoobey Doo
The Munsters
Original Pink Panther
Mighty Mouse
Night Gallery
and lots of others I can’t all list here
Hand me that wrench. No, the one that looks like a hammer.

Wild, Wild West–James West was the first man I had a crush on (my sister liked Trampus, aka Doug McLure from The Virginia–a little fact that still can embarass her).
And Speed Racer–except I had a crush on Racer X, not Speed–he was a dweeb (no offense).
I also have fond memories of a show I believe was called Banana Splits–strange, hairy creatures doing weird things, plus serial cartoons.
Night Gallery scared me, therefore, it too was a favorite.
And then there’s Star Trek (the original from my childhood, but I think The Next Generation was better eventually). No, I never had a crush on James T Kirk, I saved that for Doctor McCoy–and he looked great in the first movie!
“Alias Smith and Jones”
“Batman”
“Rockford Files”
“Bionic Woman”
“Lost in Space”
We didn’t get to watch much TV as kids, our parents kept a tight reign on our viewing habits. (Too tight, if you ask me. As soon as I got my own TV, I became a big couch potato, kind of as a backlash.)
Polydactyl Cats Unlimited
“A Cat Cannot Have Too Many Toes”
Hmm well I’m not too old but some of those shows I recall as well as the fact that some are being shown again. But my fav shows (for what tv I did watch) are:
Fraggle Rock!
She-ra
He-man
Um actually I don’t think I watched much more but some shows I like now that are older and reruns are like Time Tunnel and Dr Who.
Life is an exotic and sonorous nightmare, in which reason does not always play a role… - Exerpted from V:tM
Dreams die hard and we hold them in our hands long after they have turned to dust. - Bowen in Dragonheart
Human beings can always be relied upon to assert, with vigor, their god-given right to be stupid. - Seize the Night by Dean Koontz
You know why people call something impossible? Because it hasn't happened yet. - Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come
oh jeez, Fraggle Rock.
I had forgotten about that. Wasn’t that HBO?
I don’t have cable, I work nights and I pretty much only rent videos on weekends so I don’t see too much T.V.
These are shows I’d like to see now:
MAS*H
Bugs Bunny
Moonlighting
All in the Family
Like, Lex, I watched the Jeffersons, but I’m not sure I’d bother now.
That’s Incredible (cheesy, sure, and Kathie Lee Crosby makes your skin crawl, but all the pseudo-melodrama - )
Rocky and Bullwinkle - my wife and my stepson don’t understand why I like it
looks shocked How could you forget Fraggle Rock? The Fraggles were the cutest things to walk the earth! Better then the Muppets! (well actually equal I love the Muppets too. Did anyone here devour The Muppets Tonight as much as I did? I don’t really like the new version of the Muppets show…) If I could find them I would go out and buy video tapes of the shows!

Burns and Allen. (No, I’m not that old, nor am I saying that just to cheer up Eve. But when we went to the beach one summer, one of the local cable stations showed the Burns and Allen show, and I loved it. I just wish I’d gotten to see more than four episodes.)
Night Court.
Cheers.
And I’ll second “That’s Incredible!”

“Y’know, I would invite y’all to go feltch a dead goat, but that would be abuse of a perfectly good dead goat and an insult to all those who engage in that practice for fun.” -weirddave, set to maximum flame
I still get a kick out of Gilligan’s Island in the same way I did as a kid. But, as I got older, I gained a new appreciation for all the subtle humor in those old Warner Bros. cartoons (Bugs, Daffy, etc.) that a kid would never understand.
