Shows from your youth that you still enjoy

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.

Knightrider
Gilligan’s Island
Starsky and Hutch
All in the Family
Partridge Family
Brady Bunch

No, I wasn’t well liked as a child…

Yeah - ditto Scooby Doo, A-Team, and Rockford Files

Also:-

Pink Panther cartoons (the original ones with Inspector Clouseau, not the ones with that damn stork)

Monkey - don’t know if you got that in the US - it was a Japanese show about a Chinese legend :confused:

Zorro - the old b&w series

All Warner Bros. and Tom & Jerry cartoons

There’s probably loads more that I’vr forgotten but would enjoy if I saw them again


The Scots - never trust a race whose national dress includes a concealed knife.

Go Speed Racer - I’ve still got a little crush on Speed.

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.

Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
Reading Rainbow

I’m 31 years old now and whenever I’m flipping channels and see either of these showing I end up watching the whole thing.

Work is fine for killin’ time, but it’s a shaky way to make a living.

Miami Vice
Moonlighting . . . which is once again on TV ! YES.
Remington Steele (Brosnan at his best, forget 007).

And though it was a little before my time, I have caught re-reuns of All In The Family, that show is still laugh out loud funny.

Monkey
Magnum PI
Batman cringe
Scooby Doo
Mork and Mindy
Dr Who


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

oh and The Time Tunnel
F-Troop
Rin Tin Tin
Battle of the Planets
Robotech

TV was my friend…

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”

I was gonna say something like this
“One word: Voltron”
But then I thought about all the other shows that kick ass, such as:

Scooby-Doo (zoinks!)

Thuner, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, THUNDERCATS! HOO-OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!

Mr.Wizard

Diff’rent Strokes (Whatchya talkin’ bout, Willis?)

The Jeffersons (weeeezy!)

Three’s Company

Saved By the Bell (Jessie Spano, mmmmmmmm.)

And more that I kinna 'member anow.

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

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

God, you people are young. OK, shows from my “youth” I still enjoy on the rare occasions they’re rerun?

The Donna Reed Show
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Patty Duke Show (“you could lose your mind!”)
Honey West
Green Acres

. . . Boy, do I feel old. Anyone for Burns and Allen or The Goldbergs?

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.

Sanford & Son!!! Love that theme song.
