Popular Post El Presidente Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 I was tapping away doing some work on my laptop last night with cable on in the background. Most of us have been there, 1000 channels and nothing to watch. Flicked on an old favourite that took me back to my early school days. Through rose coloured glasses they seemed like much saner times but I do wonder. Anyway, I found myself putting the laptop down and having a great laugh. As a TV comedy it stands up to this day. Your favourite TV show growing up? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 HH was hilarious. There are many great shows from around that era. A show from a slightly earlier time I've always loved was the Addams Family. But one of the first shows that comes to mind, from slightly later is M*A*S*H. The Carol Burnett Show was priceless. Again many great shows.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 It seems like yesterday when all I wanted to do was count down the hours of my after-school tuition and get to the important stuff... That's right, Thursday nights at 7.30 pm and I ask you who could get enough of the Duke boys and the General Lee doing jumps very week? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hogans Heros is on my daily watch. (literally). My local Hamilton Ontario channel runs Retro TV throughout the entire day. Currently the line up is as follows: 10:00 I love Lucy 10:30 Gidget 11:00 Good Times 11:30 Hogan's Heros 12:00 Fantasy Island 1:00 Mission: Impossible 2:00 Starsky & Hutch 3:00 Sanford and Son 3:30 One Day at a Time 4:00 The Facts of Life 4:30 I Dream of Jeannie 5:00 Cheers 5:30 Happy Days They change things up every few months. I've watched full seasons of Laverne and Shirley, Barney Miller (extremely funny!), Taxi, Mary Tyler Moore, Mork & Mindy, Rhoda, Soap, Bewitched, The Partridge Family, The Monkees, The Jeffersons (holy crap, another super funny one!) and many others that I'm forgetting. This has been going on for approx 2.5 years, but now working from home, I watch more 70's and 80's TV than 2000's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these shows I watched in my younger years, no not an opening for one of your comments Rob I loved watching Gidget and always loved Moondoggie like most girls watching the show Great memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I enjoy late 70's surfing scenes. Gidget it the newest addition to the retro block, replacing laverne and shirley. It's only been on for two weeks maybe. Just getting my bearings on that show. I really didn't mention it, but the show Soap was bloody funny! So crazy on so many levels.

grizzlee Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 MASH for me. I had Betamax tapes full of episodes for binge watching, way back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Mash was on at 7pm for two years, following the 6pm evening news. Really enjoyed that show. At first I actually thought it was boring. It grew on me. Klinger was quite a character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Smokin' Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hill Street Blues was also a great show. That one ran through its full series on Retro TV. A serious, but still light hearted, cop drama. One of the originals. Barney Miller, more of a comedy of course, is my favourite cop related show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
