Haven’t seen it recently, but I would much prefer Willy Ley’s graceful, beautiful future to Werner von Braun’s Teutonically linear one.
I read a book by one of the founders of the Long Range Desert Group and, being a British officer writing his memoirs shortly after the war, he sucks the very life out of it. Unlike every other fictionalization of a real event, The Rat Patrol was actually CLOSER to what those crazy mofos did than the official history, though they mostly did it with Chevy Deuce-and-a-Halfs early on, not Jeeps. Trucks that were MORE heavily-armed than the TV versions. Fun as a Browning .50 could be, sometimes you just need a 37mm Bofors. And only ONE machine gun? I read about one vehicle that had as many as 13 machine guns hanging off it. They used to drive parallel with a column of trucks and just shoot the shit out of them.
A couple that hasn’t been mentioned:
Emergency!
Quincy
Charlies Angels
I caught a repeat of Quincy a few years ago. I thought it was very indulgent and wondered why I liked it when I was kid.
Oh the horror! Definitely the most frightening thing I ever watched when I was a kid, gave me nightmares for a long time and can still gives me chills. The opening really packs a punch even today.
There was a live action Captain Marvel series called SHAZAM! I loved as a kid that I caught a few years on TVLand late night and it was unbearable. Well, except for the ISIS crossover. I don’t think I realized what a babe she was back at the time.
I used to run home from school to watch Dark Shadows. I caught a few episodes when the Sci Fi channel was rerunning it in the 90’s. It was slow moving, badly acted, and badly written. During roughly the same time period I managed to catch both Dark Shadows movies. They, at least, were faster paced than the TV show; but they were just as badly written and acted. There was a short-lived revival of the show with a different cast; but I never saw an episode. The promos were bad enough.
It wasn’t bad. I was disappointed that it wasn’t renewed.
My Step Daughter was watching reruns of the original with me on Sci Fi. I thought Adam’s shrouded body, about to be reanimated would frighten her, but she asked, “Is that thing supposed to be breathing?”
Captain Kangaroo. There is no way it’s as awesome as I thought it was when I was three.
I’ve not seen CK since my baby sister was that age, so I can’t judge its merit in particular. But that’s not necessarily true. Both Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood hold up for adults, though in different ways.
Yeah, but I bet the rain of ping pong balls would still be funny!
If you mean still creeps me the fuck out, yes.
Rumor is that show was the fave of acidheads.
Damn. Somebody stole my sneakers.
If you have Darrin #1 playing off of Endora, it can still be funny as hell.
You both just brought back a memory I hoped was gone forever. Same exact reaction to my 11 year old self. [As in <shudder>]
Maplekiwi - My room-mate the DVD sets for the first two seasons of this show. Those episodes hold up very well. The FX are a little dated, but the stories are imaginatively written, and the cast is excellent (especially the first Mrs. Kravitz.) I would guess that the later episodes don’t stand up as well though.
Shows I don’t think I’d be as interested in now:
Eight is Enough
Happy Days
That’s Incredible!
Fantasy Island
And for Saturday morning fare:
the Herculoids
Elektra-woman & Dyna-girl
Shazam!/Isis
Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space
And while this is probably a controversial choice - “Twin Peaks”. At the time it came out, it’s film-production standards and insane soap opera topics seemed brilliantly original. But in the 20 years since, it’s format has been copied to the point of being standard - and what sticks out is the goofy trying-too-hard weirdness and pointless, go nowhere storylines.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Drooper was clearly a stoner, after all. 
There goes my lunch hour.
I have the first two volumes on DVD and it is as awesome as it ever was. (Note that the five-episode pilot The Treasure of the Golden Suns is inexplicably in Volume 2.)
I also have two volumes of Animaniacs on DVD, and while the good stuff is really good, there is a surprising amount of chaff mixed in that you have to sift through.
Dukes of Hazzard is definitely the one that, when watched in reruns, I was shocked that I ever liked the show. I was only a year old when it first aired, though.
Yes, I was very disappointed with the first volume. I remember them as much funnier.
