LOL, an old buddy of mine just sent me a DVD of that he got from Europe. Wow, great back in the day, but pure fromage today! It DID inspire my first Super 8 SF film, though...

Probably would seem like cheese nowadays, but back then it was riveting. I've never seen it again in 40 years. One of your picks, Planet Earth, was the sequel to another great Roddenberry TV movie called Genesis II. Remember that one? Alex Cord played the first Dylan Hunt, a 20th century scientist who awakens from accidental hibernation hundreds of years later.

Happy Days
Battlestar Galactica
Barney Miller
Rockford Files
weird taste for a child 10 and under but they were the shows I would have tantrums about if I couldn't watch them.
now there's not much on that really grabs me but the most entertaining are:
Big Bang Theory
The Mentalist
Ashes to Ashes
I mainly watch reruns of TV faves like
Mork and Mindy
Diagnosis Murder
Magnum PI
Pride and Prejudice
Porridge
Roseanne
I have been watching Castle on the internet as Australia has only just started showing season 3 and I don't like to wait.

Then:
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Battlestar Galactica
Mork & Mindy

Bear in mind that I also was fully into Ultraman and Johnny Sako & His Flying Robot reruns, but they are technically 60's shows.

Now:
SGU
V
Castle

I watched TV in the '70s, had some favourite shows; thanks to Netflix, I watched 'em all again

They suck; TV has gotten so much better

I will mention three TV movies, 'though perhaps the biggest reason they haven't suffered by comparison to more modern work is that they aren't available for me to watch now:

Thief
Footsteps
Haunts of the Very Rich

Keep the Shiny Side Up

3 other TV Movies from the 70's I remember.....

1) The People....good sci-fi themed drama that re-united William Shatner and Kim Darby

2) Tribes....hippie-esque Jan Michael Vincent conquers Marine basic training with inner Zen

3) Maybe I'll Come Home In The Spring...hippie runaway Sally Field in an early provacative role

Being only 5 when the 70's ended, I'll go with Sesame Street.

Still not having any great affinity for TV of that era... uh, MASH? That was the 70's right?
