Ooh, I was born in '77 too!
I've fallen in love with Hogan's Hero's. Which I think was unfairly named the worst TV show ever! I also love Dukes of Hazzard and M*A*S*H is probably my favoritest TV show ever.NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Good choice. It was uninspired and lame after that.

And I definitely remember the Monkees! I was at a ripe age for that - preteeny. The Partridge Family too.
Ditto. I think my sister was verging on Teenhood then. She had a crush on David Cassidy.
Okay, this means you were probably a teen when Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew were on. Which of the boys was it for you?
Quote:
Bat Masterson. Have Gun Will Travel. Rifleman. Wagon Train. Wild Wild West of course - what teenage girl at that time wasn't watching Robert Conrad?!
Ah, the Rifleman. Do you remember when 62 broadcast an ep in Spanish by accident? That was highly amusing. We had fun doing our own dialogue, kinda like we'd do for the monsters in the Godzilla movies.
Quote:
Did you move here or grow up around here? Remember Romper Room? Rita Bell? Bill Kennedy? Soupy and Bozo of course. Saturdays watching Flash Gordon? The Little Rascals every day? Father Knows Best and The Donna Reed Show at lunchtime?
Born & bred here(well, actually Livonia.
)Rita Bell and Bill Kennedy were both watched on a daily basis in our house. Plus the channel 7 4 o'clock movie, depending on the movie. Abbott and Costello Movies on Sunday morning!
Didn't do RR or New Zoo Revue, but did do Capt Kangaroo and ...okay, I think I need a kids program list, too.
Kiddie TV List
a.) Capt Kangaroo
b.) Sesame Street
c.) Mr. Dressup
d.) Friendly Giant (Boy am I confusing a lot of Americans with this list.
e.) Johnny Quest
f.) Scooby Doo (Original and the ones with the celebrity guests. No Scrappy.)
g.) Bozo (no kid list is complete with out it)
h.) Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home
i.) The Ghoul (okay, not so kiddie, but I enjoyed it more then)
j.) The Muppet Show!
k.) Schoolhouse Rock/In the News
l.) Bugs Bunny Show (in its many incarnations...wasn't there a point where in our area we could watch it like 3 or 4 times a day?)
m.) Oopsie the Clown
n.) Hot Fudge

I've temporarily run out of TV memories but I'm sure you catch my drift!

I agree. I thik some of that may be backlash from all the icky stuff that's come out about Bob Crane's personal life. That and that Speilberg hates it because he thinks that nothing about WWII should ever be made light of by anyone.
Personally, I think Petticoat Junction is far, far worse.

Quote:Um... Johnny Quest didn't have weird lips. It was pretty decent Hanna-Barbera animation, actually, though not as good as the classic WB or MGM toons. Good scifiish show, too. Remember the invisible electric monster?

Perhaps you're thinking of Clutch Cargo... which I always found downright disturbin'. Wouldn't watch it.

RMMC,
Ah, yes, Nancy Drew, with Pamela Sue Martin. I saw one episode twice, the second time with a witness: during that particular show, in a scene with lots of people, Pam got her breast squeezed on national TV.
I wonder how many remember/saw that?!
[I'd say your idea for this thread was indeed a good one.]

I was born in '88, but I grew up as a child of Nick at Nite, so most of the shows I grew up on were the same things my mom watched when she was a kid. Just to name a few (not sure how many of these have already been listed)...
- The Mary Tyler Moore Show
- The Dick van Dyke Show
- The Bob Newhart Show
- The Jeffersons
- I Dream of Jeanie
- The Munsters
- Get Smart
- Gilligan's Island
- Looney Tunes
- Scooby Doo
- Happy Days
I love classic tv

Arrgh... you know you're an aging Browncoat when the shows you saw first-run (and not necessarily as a little kid) are now called "classic TV".

Neither, it must have been up against something important. *shrug*

Oh, wow, I remember that! We had a 9-year span from oldest to youngest so it was probably many years before that show wasn't watched on a daily basis.

...l.) Bugs Bunny Show (in its many incarnations...wasn't there a point where in our area we could watch it like 3 or 4 times a day?)
Probably. Along with that other kid show for grown-ups - Bullwinkle. Still my all-time favorite smart-ass cartoon!
