I could go on. Remember all these I saw as originals and not re-runs. The fifties were the glory years of television even though it was all in black and white.

I think I've seen about 5 episodes each of what Lobber posted, except MASH, I saw maybe 10. The only thing I saw consistently was Star Blazers. TV held almost nothing for me even back then.

Lobber, man I forgot about Battlestar, Airwolf and a few more. I also used to watch Blue thunder which was an Airwolf clone.

I also watched the old Star Treks.

Ancient:
The Burns & Allen show
Dobbie Gillis
Love That Bob
The Honeymooners

Classic:
Andy Griffith
I love Lucy
Dick Van Dyke
The High Chapparael
Gunsmoke
MoO's Wild Kingdom

Old:
The Odd Couple (Still great!)
Sanford & Son (Red Foxx Rules!)
Mary Tyler Moore
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
Mork & Mindy
Barney Miller
The Jeffersons
Three's Company
Different Strokes
Whats Happening
Dukes of Hazzard
6 Million Dollar Man
M*A*S*H
Baretta
Quincy
Colombo
Charlies Angels
Hee Haw
and MTV when it had videos and Saturday night Concerts....

T... V??? Whazzat?

Seriously, the only things I watch on TV are disaster movies (I.E. fire, flood, earthquake, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc).

Champion the wonder horse.
Tales of the unexpected. (UK i think)
Thunderbirds.
Doctor Who.
Star Trek.
Blakes Seven.
Captain Scarlett.
The Young ones.

Those are the ones i remember with fondness.

The best for me though was every wednesday evening with a cup of cocoa, tucked up in bed watching on an old black and white was M.A.S.H. Absolutly wonderful.

You boys and girls go back further than myself, but here's a few ol faves:

Perfect Strangers
The Commish
Full House
Viper
Beakman's World

There was also a Mario live action show I wateched before school in the morning, which was followed by a Link/Zelda show: "Well excuse me Princess."

Also, there was some Nintendo cartoon, can't remember, but I remember the intro had a live action guy being sucked through a TV, and the whole thing was a cartoon. The main character had a NES control for a belt buckle, and could pause the whole world. I think the guy from Castlevania was a character, and Motherbrain was the main villain.


I used to always catch the TGIF that included:
That Urkel Show
Step by Step
Hanging with Mr. Cooper

Space 1999

Most of what has already been mentioned sans a few shows here and there.

Get Smart! Agent 99 was hooooot

Probably best summarized by anything on Nick at Nite before they started focusing on 1980s programming.

- I Love Lucy (The absolute classic. It's really a wonder the cast of the show never got along in real-life)
- The Mary Tyler Moore Show (You're going to make it after all. It had a lot of great episodes and characters, especially the bumbling anchorman Ted "Meanwhile, in the Hall of Justice" Baxter and the sultry "happy homemaker," Sue Ann Nivens)
- The Dick Van Dyke Show (He didn't always trip on that ottoman. Interesting, it's a sitcom about a writer for a sitcom. Ooh, feel the meta-universes collide)
- Happy Days (The definitive halcyon sitcom about the 1950s)
- Dragnet (Memorable theme song, unforgettable protagonist. This was Cops before we had Cops. Joe Friday was also the man)
- Taxi (Latka and Reverend "What does a yellow light mean?" Jim are classic.)
- WKRP in Cincinnati (About a radio station used to play old time music, until it went rock and roll. Mainly a comedy based on the idiosyncracies of its characters)
- M*A*S*H (Finding humor in cynical and bleak circumstances. A carefully written sitcom)
- Laverne and Shirley (In the same universe as Happy Days, two women worked at a bottling plant. Slapstick)
- Get Smart (come on, it's Mel Brooks, of course it's wacky! A total send-up of spy shows and movies. Maybe one day, someone will have the gumption to do this to the ubiquitous crime dramas of today)
- Gilligan's Island (The neverending three hour tour. The Professor was often asked in real-life "Why couldn't the Professor just patch the hole in the boat and escape?" To which he replied, "Look, if you were on an island with Ginger and Mary-Anne, would you want to leave?")
- Bewitched (I never understood why Darin wouldn't want Samantha to use her powers. I mean, if your wife could materialize any wish you had, why the heck wouldn't you ask?)
- I Dream of Jennie (Back when belly buttons were taboo. Astronaut's space capsule lands on a deserted island where he finds a genie in a bottle. Hilarity ensues)
- The Jetsons (Gotta love the 1970s version of this century. Where's my flying car?)
- The Flintstones (Willllmmmmaaaa!)
- The Munsters (They lived in a creepy mansion on Mockingbird Lane with a perpetual storm overhead. Everyone was a monster except for Marilyn who was completely normal. They thought of her as the ugly duckling)
- Batman (The show was kitsch and it totally reveled in its own cheese)
- Superman (The old black and white ones. Hey, it was pretty well done for its time)

And these which technically aren't that old:
- Cheers (Apparently, everybody knew your name here)
- Coach (Sitcom about a college football coach)
- Night Court (Wacky comedy about a night court in New York City. Very offbeat)
- Matlock (He never loses a case... unless his client really did commit the crime, but that doesn't count!)
