I loved to watch the A-team,Airwolf,Simom and Simon, MacGyver,Rin Tin Tin K-9 cop, and Bordertown, and how much my mom loved Hart to hart. then I thought of some of the game shows that were on not that long ago because DD16 can remember them when she was in preshool they were Supermarket sweep and shop til you drop we would watch those everyday.

Most of the shows you mention are on Retro TV

When I was growing up, there was a show on TV that I loved. Emergency. I eventually did become a Paramedic, largely influenced by this show. Its on RTV and I record and watch it every day. The show is filmed in SoCal during the time I grew up so it really touches home for me.

Well now I really wish that Retro TV was on my cable system! No affiliates in NH and the one in Mass is not on my cable. But my cable is Time Warner out of Maine and they site says a Maine affiliate is coming soon so maybe there is hope!

They have lots of the old shows that I remember. They have Marcus Welby but not Medical Center - I know they were on around the same time. But Adam 12 is something I never missed when I was a kid!

OK, really dating myself - Here Come The Brides. About mail-order brides traveling from the east coast to a lumbering operation in Seattle. The theme song started something like "Oh the hills are greenest green in Seattle..." and one of the brides said to another, at least once an episode "Biddy, what's bigger than that mouth of yours?" And Biddy would sheepishly say "nuthin." I think it aired in the mid- to late 60's.

"the bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle..."

I loved "Here come the brides!"

Joshua was my favorite brother. Oh, and Peter was my favorite "Monkey" just in case you're wondering!

1968-1970. Perhaps my most favorite show of that time (lived in Seattle at the time). Actually watched an episode of it this past weekend. It's funny to pull up a list of people that appeared on the show; a who's-who of various A-and B- listers from television.

Absolute favorite episode was the one about Bigfoot

 

[PigletsPal2]

Look at all the Brides fans! You had to tell them exactly what year! Now they know I really AM old!

My favorite brother was the oldest one - Bobby Sherman was too immature for my sophisticated self; after all, I was a HS graduate with a real job!

Hart to Hart was my favorite show, too. I recently discovered that one of our local stations shows it during daytime TV (along with a bunch of other old shows ). I've been DVR'ing Hart to Hart every day and am really enjoying watching them again after all these years. They can be kind of hokey, but they're still fun .

Matlock was another favorite of mine, and they show it, too. You can't go wrong with Andy Griffith.

In a way, TV shows - especially mysteries - were better before everyone had cell phones and computers. I also like to read mystery books that were written or are set in the days before everyone had a cell phone and the internet.

As a teen, I loved Dark Shadows, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, High Chaparral, Ironside and Emergency.

 

[almburr]

I loved the newer version of dark shadows fro 1990. Ben Cross

 

[cristit14]

I liked Emergency, CHIPS, Magnum PI, Little House on the Prairie, Eight is Enough, Cagney and Lacey, St. Elsewhere, Duke of Hazzard ( Those Duke boys were mighty cute. )

 

[snarlingcoyote]

Ohhh I loved Barnaby Jones, The Rockford Files, Lou Grant, Cagney & Lacey, Remington Steele and Simon & Simon. I think I would actually pay money to buy the DVDs for The Rockford Files.

Okay, time to confess my awfulest secret about favorite TV shows from my childhood. When I was around 3 I announced to my father that I was going to marry Mr. Spock when I grew up. Of course, there is a (slight) passing resemblance between Leonard Nimoy and my DH so I guess I've always had a type!

 

[Wall-E1]

Mr. Belvedere
Alf
Silver Spoons - Here we are, face to face, a couple of silver spoons...
Battlestar Galactica (when Starbuck was a man)

Game show...
Big bucks! No whammy! Press Your Luck!!!

Adam-12

If you recall the opening credits, the camera followed a 'computer card' down a track that dumped in front of a dispatcher. I was the last dispatcher in that department trained on that system (before computer-aided dispatching). I always chuckle when I see that, and my DS really laughed when he saw that. I think the comment was "you're THAT old???" smart donkey
