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?

Keeping up Apperences


Posted by: andylucy 21-Nov-2003, 11:03 AM
Ah, the good ol days! biggrin.gif

I was a huge fan of the All Creatures Great and Small series on BBC. I also tremendously enjoyed The Prisoner.

I am also a fan of the early years of MASH, before it got to be too preachy.

And my guilty pleasure, the old Emergency series, with Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. It led me to become a paramedic. cool.gif

I really didn't watch too much TV growing up. After I learned to read, I always thought that what TV came uo with was lame compared to my imagination.

Good topic. thumbs_up.gif

Just my tuppence.

Hill Street Blues
Adam-12 (caught an episode recently and realized how cheezy it is by todays standards)
Emergency
CHIPS
Bonanza
Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Kung Fu
MASH
Andy Griffith (still a favourite)
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers
Get Smart
Mork and Mindy

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.

Posted by: Richard Bercot 21-Nov-2003, 12:08 PM
I think I may be telling my age, but who cares

The ones I liked was:

F-Troop
Rin Tin Tin
MASH
The Waltons
Combat
The Real McCoys
The Rifleman
Rawhide
Sugarfoot
Cheyenne
Daniel Boone
Andy Griffith

I could have kept going but I thought 12 would be enough.

How many of you remember these

Posted by: oldraven 21-Nov-2003, 01:02 PM
Buffy TVS. I can't believe that it's over. Well, at least we've still got Angel. smile.gif

Posted by: single speed 21-Nov-2003, 03:50 PM


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.

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".

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.

I LOVED "Quantum Leap"! Take me home Sam Beckett!
Sadly, it was canceled. Such a good show though....

My other favs would include:

Voltron
The Smurfs
Care Bears

Hey, what can I say, I grew up with cartoons.

Posted by: Raven_Whitefang 22-Nov-2003, 12:11 AM
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.

jawdrop.gif I'm astounded. And not nearly so lonely as before. Turn up your speakers and click http://www.emergencyfans.com/sounds/1squad51.wav 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.

Well since I am a BIG Alexandra Paul fan I would have to say the first few seasons of Baywatch as she left after season 5. Oh and an extremely close second for the 90's is highlander the series. This was during the 90's.

80's I would have to say Knight Rider because the whole sort of theme of the show was that ONE man (Not being sexist here just what was always stated in show) could make a difference!

And being young in the 70's I would say the Muppet Show LOL

Posted by: Elspeth 22-Nov-2003, 03:43 PM
You guys have hit just about all of them! And brought up ones I had forgotten. And Richard, yes, I do remember most of those show, but not all. Remember I am the baby sister! biggrin.gif

Waltons
Bewitched
Mork and Mindy
Dark Shadows (one I forgot)
Bonanza
M*A*S*H (my husband can quote every show - Adam's Ribs anyone?)
And I wan't a kid, but I love the Muppet Show. Great sarcastic comedy buried in there.
McCloud
Murder She Wrote
Andy Pandy (I was a tot when it came on)
Emergency (had that girlish crush on Randolph Mantooth)
The Monkeys
Twilight Zone
The Nanny
Kate and Allie
Mad About You


Stopping now. I am sure there are more.



Posted by: snowblind 22-Nov-2003, 05:40 PM
Hmm, of series gone past, whether made before my time or not (hooray for repeats)...

I had forgotten so many!! It's amazing that there was so much on television back when there were only 4 channels. Now that there are 400 channels, there is nothing on.

Snowblind,

I can't believe that I forgot Fraggle Rock. I used to love that and my children have a number of the episodes on tape.

I was also very fond of some of the variety shows like Morcambe & Wise and The Two Ronnies.
Starsky and Hutch were my dreamboats!! rolleyes.gif

Also:
Monty Python,

Does anyone else remember "Robin Hood"?

Posted by: Keltic 23-Nov-2003, 10:33 PM
How about "Rocket Robin Hood"

note.gif Band of brothers marching together,
Heads held high in all kinds of weather,
dum dee dum dee dum dee dum dum dum

It's Rocket Robin Hood note.gif

Posted by: Annabelle 23-Nov-2003, 10:48 PM
Robin Hood and Rocket Robin Hood? Richard & Keltic,the rest of us are not as old as you guys, ok? Don't try to pull us in, we don't remember any of that ancient stuff. biggrin.gif

Annabelle

Posted by: McHaggis 23-Nov-2003, 11:41 PM
....as in "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding thru the glen, Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men......" (or something), Richard?

Now I remember.....Robin Hood was played by (and this is a reach) Richard Sterling? Some dark haired guy named Richard, anyway. Have to do a search to see how accurate I am.

I am as old as TV....well almost. Annabelle is as old as she wants to pretend to be....but she could tell you that Clayton Moore was the Original TV Lone Ranger and Tonto was played by Jay Silverheels. I've been to Lone Ranger Ranch north of Los Angeles....it was up near Spahn's Movie Ranch of Charles Manson fame.

RON

Posted by: McHaggis 24-Nov-2003, 12:13 AM
After a quick search, I see I was wrong about the star of the old Robin Hood TV series.....'twas Richard GREENE and not Richard STERLING. Oh well.....the show ran from 1955-58 and was filmed in and around London and Sherwood Forest, incidently.

Yes McHaggis, that is the very one I remember. You did a good job singing the song I remember.

I was beginning to worry, no one around my neck of the woods remembers that show. I was beginning to wonder if I made it up in my own mind.

Thank you. I would dearly love to see one of those old episodes again just to remember.

Posted by: tartangal 24-Nov-2003, 02:07 AM
I can't say I really remember the series,but I do know the song....

Robin Hood ,Robin Hood ,riding through the glen,
Robin Hood ,Robin Hood,with his band of men,
feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood ,Robin Hood , Robin Hood. smile.gif

Do you remember the children's TV series (admittedly, it was for older children!) called The Tripods? Brill! biggrin.gif

Sorry Catriona , cant say I do... but I enjoyed The Tomorrow People, remember that?

Posted by: Catriona 24-Nov-2003, 05:08 AM
No, never watched that one, Jules wink.gif

I remember a series from the early 70s called 'The Survivors' - I loved it. BUT it was repeated a couple of years ago on cable..... BLECH..... Shows that your tastes can change with time, doesn't it...? biggrin.gif

Posted by: McHaggis 24-Nov-2003, 12:33 PM
Tartangirl comes through with the last two lines of the Robin Hood song! Nice!
And Richard, there's a complete set of the old Robin Hood series available on the net.....I'll look it up and find the URL for you.

RON

Posted by: Elspeth 24-Nov-2003, 03:05 PM
Got reminded of some....
The Carol Burnette Show
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
The Bob Newhart Show
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Seem to be name dropping......

And

Anyone remember the Thanksgiving episode when Les Nessman dropped the live turkeys out of the helicopter, not realizing they couldn't fly?

Paula,

Yes! It did actually *end*!! I don't want to tell you about it, because I'm sure you can still buy the DVDs, or at least rent them. I found my hubby's at Borders Books, and I'm sure that Barnes and Noble has them, too. Tell your family -- it's a great idea for Christmas. angel_not.gif

Last night I watched a DVD of an old television show that I had forgotten to mention. It was "The Red Skelton Show". I remembered watching it every week when I was a kid. A lot of the material in it is still hilarious lol.gif and a little risque jawdrop.gif even in todays standards.

Posted by: McHaggis 03-Dec-2003, 09:03 PM
Hey, Richard.....you didn't happen to see the 1970 or 1971 Lynwood Diplomats Drum & Bugle Corps on any of those old Red Skelton shows, did you? I've been looking for a copy of that for our files. Naturally, they're not listed in the credits on any of the DVD packages for Red Skelton that I've seen.....I'll keep looking though.

Does anyone remember a PBS show called "The Electric Company"? That was one of my favorites as a kid.

I also loved

The Donnie and Marie Show. (Donnie Osmond was soooo cute!)
Vegas
The Muppet show was one of the best on TV
Cheers
Rockford Files
Magnum P.I.

I'm such a geek but I loved Solid Gold-They would have these totally 80's hairstyled dancers dance to the weeks top 40 hits. I so wanted to be one of them.

The Gong Show was pretty good too. Well, for what it was it was pretty good.

I'm sure I'll think of more .

Posted by: Aaediwen 16-Jun-2007, 03:54 PM
How could I have missed this thread for so long?

Knight Rider
Airwolf
A-Team

Unfortunately I never have been able to watch anything of the sort on a regular basis, and I haven't seen an episode of Airwolf in ages.

Posted by: Irish Cherokee Princess 16-Jun-2007, 09:34 PM
My favorites were/are:

I Dream of Jeannie
stalag 13 (sp?)
Petticoat Junction
Beverly Hill billies
Star Trek
Miami Vice (when I was in college)
ER (have only seen seasons 1 through 7, can't get into the current season 'cause don't know characters)
Friends (okay, but RAchel was such a slut)
Have only been a sporadic TV watcher since college.
Current favorites are House, M.D. and Criminal Minds

I really like most of the BBC series; Horatio Hornblower the one I can think of right now. Ian McFadden (that's his name, right?) is such a hunk. REally enjoyed him as Lancelot on the most recent Arthur movie (the one with Keira Knightly). I wonder how old he is now and if he's single. *sigh* tongue.gif

- The Rifleman (I think this is the English title, you know, Chuck Connors was starring)
- Bonanza

and later I also watched
- The Waltons and
- Miami Vice....

I was all for the Saturday morning cartoon stuff. H. R. Pufenstuff can still kick Barney's arse. Anything with superheros or swords live or cartoon. I can remember a Justice league cartoon series back from the sixties way before Superfriends came around. Even caught Superman the Musical on PBS once. Any car show like Dukes or Starskey and Hutch wewre never missed. After Star Wars it was all sci fi. Got hooked on Dr. Who in college and haven't yet missed an episode. Riverdance and Braveheart got me into the celtic stuff I watch now.

And yet for some reason I'm listening to Robot Chicken in the background

Hogan's Heros and F Troop--guess I was into the silly ones.

Posted by: Irish Cherokee Princess 19-Jun-2007, 08:17 PM
And so now I feel like a real idiot. Ioan Gruffud is the actor's name in Horatio Hornblower. Not having watched either of the Fantastic Four movies, how was I to know he'd become such a star? And he's too young for me and engaged to boot. Life is unfair.

Posted by: TandVh 23-Jun-2007, 11:41 AM
I remember wanting to stay up late and watch Outer Limits when I was about 7-8 yrs old. My dad finally relented and let us stay up past 8:00 to watch it- we got to watch one show and our TV broke. The neighbor had a good TV, though, so we would walk down to his house and watch it and walk home in the dark. We lived out on a farm and had to walk passed these dark barns to get home- talk about scarry! Those old barns were just full of aliens and blob monsters and creepy skeletons and vampires! scared.gif

unsure.gif Yikes!!!!

I'm still scared of vampires even though I am 54 yrs old!

As a kid I watched a lot of
Mr. Ed
Gunsmoke
Have Gun Will Travel (my dad's favorite and I had to watch it with him)
Twilight Zone
Outer Limits

but my all time favorite is

The Addams Family (the show, not the movies). As a child I loved their house, their furnishings, their way of life - in other words, I wanted to be the Addams Family. I am still looking for that perfect Queen Anne style Victorian house and all the weird furnishings to go in it. My husband does know this, and he says what ever makes me happy. We will see.

Remember Winky Dink on Saturday morning. You could order the magic :Saran Wrap" to place on the T.V. screen to decode secret messages. Then my favorite was Mosby's Rangers. Most of the time I was outside with my dogs hunting and rambling in the woods. cool.gif

Wow, this is a good topic to think about. Since I am a product of the television generation, I could probably list a hundred obscure shows that I enjoyed. Some, I'm compelled to watch whenever they come on even though I've probably seen the episode a hundred times. Many are already listed by others so I'll just list a few more:

Magnum PI
JAG
The Guns of Will Sonnett
Stingray
Fireball X-15
The Green Hornet
I own all the Get Smart DVD's
MacGuyver
Combat
Twelve O'Clock High
Room 222
The Mod Squad
The Rookies
Adam-12
Dragnet
The Rifleman
Robin Hood
Great Caeser's Ghost....Superman
The Big Valley
Any Son's of Hercules Movie
Daniel Boone
Wanted: Dead or Alive
Okay, that's enough....

I love the series "26 Men" it ran on ABC for a short 2 years but was the true stories of the Arizona Rangers, and I saw every episode, though in re-run. I was too young to recall them first run.

This was a great refresher topic. It's amazing the old shows that you once loved to watch, that you have somehow forgot about. I believe evryone has just about covered tham all. Although, I am quite fond of the "old" cartoons that used to play on Saturday mornings. I feel sorry for my kids and the stuff that they put on their now. Although I guess they'll say the same about the next generation. I also liked the original Superman series and Abbott and Costello they played every Sunday morning locally in my area. Great to come home after church and watch those.

The tv series that I love is "Robin of Sherwood" from BBC. I remember watching it when I was little with my family and we had such warm memories. I had to break down and get the box set on DVD- although there are only 2 sets. I have had them for about a year now and I can't bring myself to watch the last episode. I feel fine living in denial.

Ah now, dearie, grab a beer and go ahead and take the plunge. It'll be good for you. Then you have something to look forward to by starting them all over again... biggrin.gif

I used to love to watch the real Batman (Adam West) when I was a child, Have never seen one of the movies that did it better than the real show.

Posted by: Druid_of_Ark 11-Apr-2008, 10:41 AM
Hmmm another kids show I used to love was Captain Kangaroo. That was how I started my mornings after chores and before school. Which also brings to mind Romper Room.

Posted by: ranger 11-Apr-2008, 11:00 AM
All three of those bring back memories. Forgot about Romper Room.

Loved the 'chalk kid' stories on Captain Kangaroo.

Posted by: ctbard 11-Apr-2008, 02:43 PM
I LOVED lost in space.
Remember that weird cartoon, they were cartoons but their mouths were real peoples mouths, Clutch Cargo?

Posted by: Druid_of_Ark 11-Apr-2008, 07:32 PM
I loved the TV show "Mission Impossible" hated the movie remake, and vow never to watch another movie by that second rate actor that took the IMF to new LOWS!!!

Posted by: ctbard 15-Apr-2008, 07:19 AM
I use to love the early episodes of X-Files.Toward the end they staeted to get kind of crappy.

Posted by: Druid_of_Ark 15-Apr-2008, 11:01 AM
Hey does anyone besides me remember "The Honeymooners". It is rumored that NASA found the skeletal remains of a human female on the moon, guess Alice pushed Ralph too far.

Posted by: ctbard 15-Apr-2008, 11:47 AM
I always found the Honeymooners kind of dreary. I use to love the Ed Sullivan Show.

Posted by: Druid_of_Ark 15-Apr-2008, 02:40 PM
Ed Sullivan, makes me think of another show, Lawrence Welk...and a one and a two, and a three....

Posted by: John Clements 15-Apr-2008, 03:53 PM
The Ed Sullivan Show was great. Anyone ever watch a show called: “Adventures In Paradise”, it was a favorite of mine.

Posted by: ctbard 16-Apr-2008, 01:07 PM
I forgot! my all-time favorite show! The Ghost and Mrs. Muir!!

Posted by: Druid_of_Ark 16-Apr-2008, 02:07 PM
LOL that one reminded me of another, "My Mother The Car"

Posted by: Harlot 16-Apr-2008, 02:17 PM
