I grew up in Tampa, and my all time favorite was Creature Feature with Dr. Paul Bearer on channel 44, Saturday mornings at 12.

Every week was a different "Horrible Old Movie" like Return of Mothra or Creature from the Black Lagoon.
 
Most of them were ABC shows, for some reason: Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Welcome Back Kotter and Mork & Mindy. And for some reason, The Love Boat on Saturday nights.

Where we lived we got good reception on our TV antenna for the ABC and NBC stations but reception for the CBS station was marginal at best. So we really had to like a CBS show to endure the "snow" and other reception problems. My parents loved All In The Family and spinoffs The Jeffersons and Maude (also Good Times, which was a spinoff from Maude, which made it a spinoff of a spinoff).
 
Little house, Bionic Woman, Happy days. I watched Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch because there were only 10 channels and other than talk shows there was nothing else on in the late afternoon after school! I loved saturday morning programming-especially loved the Premier show they would show one friday evening in August before the saturday morning shows would begin again.

also snuck in watching MASH and QUINCY - I absolutely loved Quincy but it was on past my bedtime.
 
The Lone Ranger
Sky King
Circus Boy
Mickey Mouse Theater

We had Creature Double Feature up here in Boston. It was on channel 56 on Saturday afternoon. Everyone who grew up in the 70's still remembers it.
