Elspeth and Barddas, you guys got me to thinkin'. We know you're both fans of The Waltons, and that had me remembering some of the other old shows that we used to watch. I'm curious now everyone! Which shows were your favorites?
I will always enjoy watching The Avengers, especially the Emma Peel years! My husband is an Avenger fan, and also very much a fan of The Prisoner. More favorites include Dr. Who and Man From Uncle (too funny!)
Jog my memory now everyone! Which ones would you love to see again?

A seventies music show which I think was called Midnight Special usually featured great groups.
That's all that I can think of right now but I'm sure that my memory is going to be jogged by other posts as it has by the first ones.
Buffy TVS. I can't believe that it's over. Well, at least we've still got Angel.

-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
Monty Python, The early years of SNL, Hill Street Blues, and Mork and Mindy. Truth be told, I still ahve a crush on Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island, so that would have to be on my list as well.

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
The only thing I liked about the "Dukes of Hazzard" was Daisy (Catherine Bach). How much of a Duhh was that one?
I remember the reunion show they did. Boy, has she let herself go.
When The Dukes of Hazzard was on in first run, I wasn't interested in girls yet, so her then-gorgeous legs didn't have my attention.
My dream car to this day is still the General Lee. One of these days, I'm gonna buy the make & model of that car and have it fixed up to look just like the General Lee, right down to the horn that honks "Dixie".
The Waltons ER is really good too ( OMG last night! WOW!)
1. I luv The Waltons! I watch it every day of the week. 2. Dr. Kildare 3. Bronson 4. Dark Shadows
Yes barrdas, I watched ER last night. Is Dr. Romano under the helicopter? I used to live for Thursdays and ER. I liked it much better when Anthony Edwards and even better when George Clooney were on the show.
Addams Family Munsters Dark Shadows (original and remake) Twilight Zone Tales Fron the Dark Side Outer Limits Tales From the Crypt Mr. Ed Bewitched I Dream of Genie
I like the fanciful shows, the reality type ones remind me of how depressing this life can get.
And my guilty pleasure, the old Emergency series, with Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. It led me to become a paramedic.

I'm astounded. And not nearly so lonely as before. Turn up your speakers and click HERE for a blast from the past.
So AndyLucy, do you agree that the old movie Mother, Jugs and Speed was but a thinly disguised documentary? (I worked for an outfit just like that for a while). I could relate some stories that would give you a real bad case of the heebie-jeebies. While working there we had a tradition of all the crews gathering around the tube to watch the M*A*S*H reruns. That was back in the days when Denver Fire Department apparatus were not allowed on the Interstate Highways, because they sucked the white lines up off the pavement.
When I was a lad I preferred The Rifleman with Chuck Connors and of Gunsmoke. This in addition to The Mickey Mouse Club.
