Force 10 was released in '78 ?
Why'd I think it was released much earlier ?
Guess I wasn't watching that one.

ha ha I was only 9 so Star Wars was the only thing I remember watching back then. When did Battlestar Galactica come out?

Oh my.
No fancy links like you, Chris but I was watching:
Ice Castles ( of course, sappy love story! )
Convoy ( a sad comment on where I live. )
*shakes head*
Animal House ( friends took me to this )
Superman ( LOVED it! )
Force 10 from Navaron ( went with my folks, my
Dad was a particular fan ) 
Didn't Battlestar Galactica come out in '79? I didn't go look it up, but I think it followed out the gate pretty quickly after Star Wars.
*raises hand*
Huge fan of Mork and Mindy as well and my brothers were crazy about The Incredible Hulk.

well then I was watching Battlestar Galactica,Rockford Files, The Tomorrow people, even though it gave me nightmares Happy Days,Mash, Mork and Mindy and Hogans Heroes. My parents also let us watch Kojak, Baretta, and Starsky and Hutch. Actually I didn't see Star wars till it was shown on TV. My parents were anti scifi and fantasy.They only let me watch Battlestar Galactica because It was the only behaviour incentive I responded to (e.g. "If you can go a whole day without having a meltdown or doing freaky things you can watch BG")
My dad would drop my brother and I off at the cinema when we were 9 and 10 to see James Bonds and other M rated movies and tell the usher we could watch and they never argued with him. He came with us for Force 10 as the Guns of Navarone was a family favourite.The Muppet Movie came out in 79 but our parents refused to pay for tickets for what they decided was a movie length version of Sesame Street.
I just remembered some more:
You can't do that on Television
Dukes of Hazzard
Prisoner (I think you guys call it cell block H, about aussie women's prison)
Kingswood Country (aussie comedy)
Barney Miller
welcome back Kotter
The Waltons...and many many more
I was a TV Junkie
