Jeez, you people are babies! Remembering shows that are practically still on the air! Well, I have to say WKRP in Cincinnatti, Andy Travis and Bailey Quarters were the best looking couple on any show. Ever. I used to arise at dawn on Saturday mornings to watch Astro Boy. Used to watch the Wild Wild West, Starsky and Hutch, and the Avengers faithfully with my younger brothers, they’re gone now, but I still like watching those old shows if they’re on. Also M.A.S.H.
Almost everything on Nick at Nite. God love 'em.
Also, Cheers, MAS*H, Family Ties

How could I forget WKRP and Mr. Wizard. I also must confess that I do end up watching Mr. Rogers, as well, but I didn’t watch it as a kid (we couldn’t tune in the pbs station)
When people tell me there’s nothing good on TV, I just don’t think they are trying.
Nothing is so bad that it can’t get worse.
Well Eve, this won’t make you feel better, but MacGyver came out when I was 8 years old. It was by far my favorite show, and I still watch the reruns on USA.
Another one of my all-time favorites is Perfect Strangers. I know it’s a silly show, but I’ll be darned if I didn’t crack up at every episode.
Also Seinfeld, and the Simpsons. Jeez…I feel young!
Adam
Sesame Street. (During one particularly depressed period of life I actually taped it every day so I could watch it after I got home.)
I’m very fond of Reading Rainbow, but that wasn’t on when I was a child - it was a childish adult discovery.
The Bob Newhart Show (as psychiatrist). Also, though not as much, Newhart (as innkeeper).
Carol Burnett!!
Outer Limits.
And The Fugitive.
MST3K: Best lil’ puppet show on the planet.
The Three Stooges
A point in every direction is like no point at all
Does anyone remember a show called
“Johnny Sakko and his Flying Robot”?? It was some Japanese robot/monster type thing in the tradition of Godzilla movies. LOVED that one. The kid had a watch that flipped up and he would talk into it, saying, “Giant Robot, LAUNCH!!” whenever he was in trouble and the robot would save him. It was totally cool.
Another cool one was “Ultra Man”. Another Japanese show…kinda Power Rangers type stuff, except that Ultra Man was Giant and would fight Godzilla monsters, etc.
Also loved:
The Twilight Zone
Star Trek (CLASSIC!!!)
WKRP
Hee Haw (not sure why, but we ALWAYS watched it–and I don’t even like country music!!)
Emergency!
The Muppet Show
The Addams Family
Transformers

gasp Are Fraggle Rock and Land of the Lost actually on somewhere?
Tell me where and when! I don;t have HBO at the moment, but will sign up again if I can watch Fraggle Rock!
I’m in Boston if that helps anyone point me to the correct channel and time.
Other shows I still watch:
Knight Rider
A-Team
Remington Steele when I can find it
Magnum PI
I’d also watch Moonlighting if I knew when it was on.
Land of the Lost was on TVLand’s saturday flashback, or something of that sort. I haven’t had my satelite dish hooked up since I moved in Feb, so I’m not sure if it’s still on or not.
Sigmund the Sea Monster and Puf n’stuff were also a part of this, as well as the brady kids cartoon. I can get sucked into these, purely on a how the heck did I watch this type deal.
Bullwinkle.
Underdog.
The Three Stooges.
Warner Brothers cartoons.
I wish they had reruns of the old [it]Land of the Lost[/it] it was always my favorite… would like to see what I think of it now.
Yeah, to this day, when someone is annoying me, my standard line is:
“Get away from me ya’ friggin’ Sleestak!”
(How do you spell ‘Sleestak,’ anyway?)
Trivia: One of the Sleestaks was a young Bill Laimbeer.
My favorite is “Amos and Andy”
Kingfish: “What could go wrong?”
Amos: “Do da name Ruby Begonia mean anythin to ya?”
I love watching a schemer at work, dreaming of getting rich quick rising chinchillas.
It’s PC again- got a reprieve from the group that got it kicked off of TV in the sixties.
