What is your favorite television show that you remember from your youth?

Buffy

Anne of Green Gables, if miniseries count. Little House on the Prairie, if not. Although in high school, it was Twin Peaks.

There are many..Ozzie & Harriet, Milton Berle, Burns & Allen, Red Skelton, Lawrence Welk, there are many more, clean, wholesome programs.

Let's see, what did I watch as a kid? There was ALF, Moonlighting, Twin Peaks, reruns of the old Star Trek, old Battlestar Galactica, and old Batman, the 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, Star Trek The Next Generation...

Yeah, until I moved to Colorado that was pretty much it.

MASH

"Topper." It was a comedy, in B&W. This was the only TV show I watched regularly as I didn't much like TV as a kid or teenager, much as I don't like it now. I do remember occasionally watching the original TV version of Superman though.

How young we talkin' here? I loved Barney..

Speed Racer... Underdog... Lost in Space...

i really really loved "The Mod Squad"

Gunsmoke, and ALF

The superhero cartoon "The Impossibles".

The Wonderful World of Disney. every Sunday evening.

Andy Griffith Show grew up on this

I can't think of a single favorite...Saturday morning cartoons.

Thunderbirds ...

Flintstones - Get Smart - Walt Disney - National Geographic - Bugs Bunny - The Dick Van Dyke show - hmmm.... I'm sure there's a few more.

> MASH

I loved that show but later in life when it was all re-runs, I was an adult by then so it doesn't count as my earliest...

> i really really loved "The Mod Squad"

You just reminded me of Mission Impossible - that was a cool show!

Care Bears
Alf
Saved By the Bell
Sweet Valley High
Power Rangers

I could go on..

Some I remember liking were Curiosity Shop, Nanny and the Professor, and Star Trek (the original, in reruns).

There are loads, but the one that springs to mind is a cartoon called Bucky O'Hare.

Main one was Leave it to Beaver. It came on every day when I came home from school. Saw in the paper recently that "Wally" is now 63 and a decent artist with work currently being shown in Paris.

I liked My Three Sons. My parents had Lawrence Welk on every week. I never cared for Milton Berle or Burns and Allen. Always watched Ozzie, Father Knows Best, Donna Reed, Beaver and Ed Sullivan.

Cerealkiller, you named some of my favorites. I watched all the ones you named, enjoyed them all. My parents, too, watched Lawrence Welk every week.

They have nothing, today, on TV, that even comes near the ones we've mentioned. The shows of years ago, had substance, and class!

I wish you, and your family a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Same to you.

We never watch "regular" TV stations anymore. Only Lifetime Movie Network, the Hallmark Channel, CNN or if any movie is worth watching on HBO or Starz.

Thank you Cerealkiller.

I rarely watch TV anymore, other than the Monk, or Psyche consistently, when in season. My husband primarily watches westerns on demand, and the sport channel.

To me most TV programs have no substance, are violent, have a political agenda. When I watch TV, I want to be entertained, not have some political agenda crammed down my throat. I wish, through a miracle, wholesome TV could be brought back, but as you, and I know, there's a snowball's chance in hell, would the media ever give us good TV again.

I don't watch the news, the media is so biased. During election time, I would not watch, because they're all liars.

I'm sorry I sometimes feel so helpless knowing the junk, they call news and entertainment on the air. To think of what the media is putting out there, and the young people are seeing and hearing it... Scares me. I'm sorry for being a downer today, but I worry for our future generations.

Take care!

yes, it was...... i always looked forward to when they wore the disguise and then pulled the mask off...

Cartoons... all of them. Looney Tunes (that covers a lot of cartoons!!), Transformers (the original, not the watered-down version currently on), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, The Banana Splits show, The Superfriends... if I had to choose ONE, I'd say the Bugs Bunny Show, because it showed all the Looney Tunes episodes.

Me too!

> Main one was Leave it to Beaver. It came on every day when I came home from school.

Wow, another one! I remember June and her pearls. Did you see the TV movie they made decades later with the grown-up Beaver and Wally?

Yes, I saw it. The funny thing is - I lived the life of Beaver growing up - no stress, mom was always at home baking cakes and pies, no one ever argued and life was perfect every day. Except I had no older brother like the Beav. I have one sister who is 8 years younger than I am. We got along okay and never fought either.
I think living a Beaver lifestyle as a kid left me totally unprepared to handling adult life, stress, being with people of other races and religions, etc.

Possible, especially if you didn't have to do anything yourself, like laundry or even fixing yourself a snack. It really surprises me, especially in today's world, how many kids don't know crap when they get out on their own.

Friends.. I still watch it till now.. I bought all the seasons, DVDs and I watch it everynight.

Life was very sheltered, ritual which I think led to my having OCD. Neither of my parents ever drove so we never went anywhere, relatives took my mother shopping, my father rode to work in a carpool, no vacations, etc. Every day was the same - father went to work, I went to school, came home, watched Beaver, father came home at 4:50 pm, dinner at 5 pm, father took a shower, then it was tv the rest of the night for everyone. Weekends weren't alot different.

Kung Fu, Incredible Hulk, if I thought about it I could come up with a long list but those are the 2 that come too mind.

Beavis and Butthead

What is Lawrence Welk my grandfather listens to it, he wanted a DVD from them for Christmas, i asked the guy at Best Buy he said who hell is Lawrence Welk, i said i have no clue you have it? he just scratched his head and walked away

Hey buddy do you like the drew carey show?

Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, The Great Space Coaster, Captain Kangaroo, 321 Contact, The Muppet Show, Three's Company.... :)

Not really.. Is't fun?

You can put in Lawrence Welk CD in your search, and you'll get many offers....here is one:

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Lawrence-Welk/dp/B00000...

Lawrence Welk and his orchestra played wonderful music. Many of the young people of today, don't know good music, such as Lawrence Welk and his orchestra. Have you ever heard of "The Flying Dutchman", Andre Rieu? Beautiful music, too.

That sounds... safe, at first; then boring as hell, then depressing the more I think about it. After a while, you're on auto-pilot, and that's a sad way to live.

Banana Splits

The black and white superman series. Tug Boat Annie was cool too.

it's funny in my opinion, i don't find Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano from every one loves raymond, Friends or Tim Allen very funny comedians though

I found it on Amazon.com listening to the short previews Lawrence Welk isn't something i would listen to not my style, but for a Christmas gift for my grandfather ill get it for him, after all for my Christmas present he gave me a old civil war black powder musket preserved that was in the family history, (most of my fathers side of the family are rednecks from Tennessee) handed down to him, that's got to be worth some money i think?

I like Friends a lot... The best for me, then "Scrubs", then comes "Ellen Degenerous"

Ellen would be hot if she grew her hair out, has a nice body just don't find the man size hair attractive, but just for sex only i think i would make a exception, then i could be in every tabloid worldwide, " Jeremy a California Highway Patrol office from central California has sex with talk show hot Ellen" hang the tabloid on the wall, be cool

I would NEVER sell the old civil war musket your grandfather gave you. You should keep it in the family, pass to your future generations. Some history there. Personally, from my understanding, I like the Rednecks.

I grew up with Roseanne.. that was a good one.

She's Lesbian anyway.. She has her own look, different than others.
Seems u always watch her..

I watch her because i have a porn video she made in 1992

How was your day?

So far my day, today, I've been glued to the phone, plus planning for my Christmas gathering on Dec. 28th.

I hope you're having a good day, take care, and be safe!

Oops. Saw you already found that.

You should look for "the Highway Patrol", ancient tv show I always watched as a kid. It starred Broderick Crawford. You should get a laugh. http://www.highwaypatroltv.com/

WTF?????? She does????

A-Team
Knight Rider
Crime Traveller

sounds like fun, me just getting ready for my busy weekend, 12 hours graveyard shift tonight, saturday and 16 hours sunday, with monday being my only day off until next friday, midnight to 11:30 am, going to be long days

is it stupid like "real stories of the highway patrol" remember that show years ago?

yeah black market though, she only made 1

I was raised on cop tv. Dad and I watched Mannix, The FBI, The Persuaders etc etc. etc. I have fond memories of them all.

> i really really loved "The Mod Squad"

"One black, one white, one woman" That always gave me a laugh. I watched it too.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I never liked the graveyard shifts, I always felt tired. I worked for 8 years, the graveyard shift, I had to quit from sleep deprivation. Of course, this was the same time I lost my father, became depressed.

I don't know how you can work the 12 and 16 hour shifts. But, from what I understand, in some fields of work, like the police, hospitals, many work the 12 hour shifts. I can't tell you enough, please take care of yourself, be safe!! We need you!!

the safe and legal drivers need us, they don't get nervous when we get behind them, the idiot drivers we spot change their driving habit when a CHP is 3 feet off their bumper, they get real nervous looking in their rear view hundred times a minute

Yes, I imagine the crazy drivers get nervous when a CHP is near. My daughter lost two good friends. One died at 2:30am, killed by a speeding drunk driver, going 100 MPH. The boy was 21 years old coming home from a night job. He evidently saw the driver coming from behind, so he thought he'd be safe and move to the side of the freeway....wrong...the drunk driver followed him, hit him on the side of the freeway. Her other friend was killed by another irresponsible driver, head on. Her friend was only 22 years old. I understand most drinkers, and irresponsible drivers do their damage between 12:30am and 6:00am.....is this so?

it varies, night time their more careless and drunk drivers but 89% of all accidents occur within 5 miles of home

I don't remember

One of the accidents I spoke of....was within 5 miles of his home. The other one, I'm not sure of.

i call them "gee wiz facts" lol

Most of the places that most people go are within 5 miles of home, so it's not surprising.

I can imagine what you've seen and have to learn. I could never make it in police work, I'm such a wus, I'd cry all the time I believe.

I had to see it... what's this film? It's name??

oh non sense, you would be great

Thank you, perhaps your right, because if I can see a person die, prepare a body, or see a newborn die, as I have working in a hospital, I can handle the trauma our police endure. Of course, police are up against the criminal element, but I guess a person can adapt, and knowing what you're doing, will make a safer community. I know when I talk to my grandson, he has a sense of community, he has a conscience, wanting a clean, safe, peaceful community for others and himself to live.

Thank you for who you are, trying to make a safer America. God Bless!

Airwolf

Wonder Woman

> Buffy

I think Buffy was one of the best written shows of television.

> Anne of Green Gables, if miniseries count.

This was a pretty fantastic show. Were you able to catch Avonlea on HBO? It was a television spin-off from Anne of Avonlea.

> Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, The Great Space Coaster, Captain Kangaroo,
> 321 Contact, The Muppet Show, Three's Company.... :)

The Great Space Coaster!!! I totally forgot how much I LOVED that show.

> Airwolf

You know, when I was a kid I loved this show too. Now that I'm older, I can't see how shows survived that were written around talking cars and helicopters with jets, rockets, and machine guns. I thought I'd be into the new Knight Rider, but it just didn't do anything for me.

Is that the same as Chronicles of Avonlea? I haven't seen it, but it's on my Netflix list!

Flintstones

Hmmm... I'm not sure, but it's bound to be good. They were really good about getting the absolute best actors to play the characters.

I'll look into it!

Simon and the Witch, Woof, Grange Hill, Hartbeat (), Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles, Dangermouse, Thundercats, Superted, Postman Pat.

> Simon and the Witch, Woof, Grange Hill, Hartbeat (), Teenage Mutant
> Ninja/Hero Turtles, Dangermouse, Thundercats, Superted, Postman Pat.

Was the because Tony Hart died?

Yes. I loved Tony Hart. All the kids' art shows since then have had people who weren't very good at art. And could you imagine Tony Hart taking cocaine and hanging himself?

I remember a lot of shows from my youth, but I can't remember my favorite one.

Youth as in 7ish? I really like Garfield Goose. I'm not that attached with a fondness to it anymore. I liked Ray Raynor, the kid shows in the 60's.

> Speed Racer... Underdog... Lost in Space...

Yup, forgot about those. Loved those.

Yes, my memory is coming back...I watched those also. Becaue I liked them. I never missed the Brady Bunch, but I thought it likened to a train wreck...I couldn't look away. Best show was when Marcia broke her nose.

I hated Marcia! I didn't do the mailing yet - I have yet to mail my sister's xmas present! I've been so busy lately and it's mostly because of Pat. He's taking up too much of my time, I really have to stop seeing him. I've got new projects that need my attention - my first blues series to produce!! I'll get that stuff in the mail on Monday - enough is enough...

Flintstones

It's kind of a toss-up between The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Beverly Hillbillies and Dark Shadows.

> Flintstones - Get Smart - Walt Disney - National Geographic - Bugs
> Bunny - The Dick Van Dyke show - hmmm.... I'm sure there's a few more.

Oh yeah, how could I have left out Get Smart??? That show was hilarious. And it's thanks to Bugs Bunny that there is at least one piece by Richard Wagner that I like, you know, the one that goes, "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!" Ride of the Valkyries, the only piece by Wagner I can stand.

I like that one too!

The Flintstones
