Never was a "Soap" fan-nothing against it, just wasn't for me. I was probably too young(10) to get the humor. However, it led to Benson, which was one of the funniest shows ever.

I didn't actually see Star Wars until '78 so I guess I was watching that and the only other film I saw at the cinema that year was Watership Down.

On TV I was also watching The Incredible Hulk, Mork And Mindy, Battlestar Galactica, The Tomorrow People, Batman and Star Trek.

Grange Hill also started in '78 which for kids on my side of the pond was must watch TV. It was so far ahead of it's time and portrayed realistic kids in real situations with real problems.

Didn't Battle Of The Planets start in 1978 as well? If so I was also watching that plus numerous other cartoons.

One of my favourite shows when I was growing up and still my favourite airplane today. Sort of like firefly, fly around get into trouble always having a new adventure.

I love it. It's like wiping your ass with silk.

Meatpuppet, apparently you aren't the only one who loves the ol' Grumman Goose. Popular enough that a new company restarted production in 2007, as the new Antilles Super Goose!

Oh Jeez, I had completely forgotten about that show. Seeing the credits brought it all back. Thankyou so much for bringing the memory of it back.
And now I've remembered Bring 'Em Back Alive as well with Bruce Boxleitner. I loved those shows.

Growing up, we only had one channel (CBS) so I watched MASH, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, Cannon, etc. I got to see some of the other stuff that was syndicated like Star Trek, the Six Million Dollar Man and others.

Living in rural VT, we weren't exposed to much. And since I really can't stand Football (American) I spent many a Sunday buried in a book.

I just picked up the complete series on dvd. It really is a fun show.
