The Brady Bunch

I love 1970's American television!

I remember all those from my youth in the 70's. I miss those days always!! I am so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's!! I have Land Of The Lost DVD collection as well!! My daughter loves them. She watches them more than me. The Waltons was a favorite of my Father's. I loved the theme from S.W.A.T. I made my parents buy me the 45 of the song. lol

That was the first 'record' I ever owned! Next was the 45 of King Tut by Steve Martin

I love going back to the '70's... life was simple and fun (obviously 'cause I was a kid, but still...)

i've never seen any of those shows, bar a couple of episodes here and there

DVD sets of old shows are great, i have a large chunk of the A-team and i wouldn't mind getting the original battlestar gallactica that show was a part of my childhood believe it or not

I know me too!! Everyone tells me I live in the past, but look at the present, do you blame me?!?!?

Hi Paul

I bpought the complete Starsky & Hutch DVD (all four seasons) last week when it was on sale for $25, I did it because when we chatted about this show a while back you told me it was as still good as it was when we were kids
Jessica and I will be sitting back enjoying it over the coming weeks I collect old TV shows from my youth as well including the programs I watched as a very young child. I have never been dissapointed by any of them yet! I am now looking for a complete collection of the show 'Taxi' did any of you watch that as well?

I love many series' from my childhood; especially 'V', Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazard and The A Team.
I was the lone ranger V fan at primary school! I conned my mum and dad every week into letting me watch it. I watched it recently on the sci fi channel and it was just as awesome
I have to say though I think tv the last decade has been just as great!! Sex And the City, Shameless, House, Dr Who, Torch Wood, The Sarah Connor Chronicles etc. I think the 80's and now are both golden periods for tv

Matt

Citizen Smith was very funny, I don't think it made it to the USA though.

I watched all of those shows as a kid, Paul. Most of my DVDs are from the golden age of horror flicks, but in terms of tv sets, I got the first two seasons of Scooby Doo, the Groovie Goolies and Night Gallery.
The 70's were a great time to be a kid, for sure:)

I did watch Taxi... I'd like to see it again as I don't really remember it that well.

Let me know what you think of Starsky and Hutch

Hi Paul

Me too. When I first discovered Andy Kaufman Taxi was my first port of call as I hadn't seen it since I was probably about 5 or 6 LOL. I find the show now thoroughly enjoyable!

Matt

All those shows you listed plus The Dukes of Hazzard and The Thunderbirds and the list would be my perfect formative years collection .

Another show i'd like to re-watch ( for special reasons ) would be The Wonder Years .... just thinking about that show puts me in that frame of mind i was in back in the late 80's .......

Nice list! I'd add to:

Emergency!
Adam12
Sigmund & The Sea Monster
Grizzly Adams
Gentle Ben
Flipper
Get Smart

I wonder if 20 years from now, people will look back fondly on the memories of sitting around with the family watching Biggest Loser, The Bachelor or The Real World.My folks bowled on Wednesday and Friday nights in the late 70's/early '80s, so those nights were spent at my grandparents, watching some of those shows, + Wonderful World of Disney, + Grandpa's favorites, Dukes, + Barbara Mandrel show and Hee-haw.....Oh how I hated Hee-Haw

Ha ! Gentle Ben !! yessss.... Does anyone remember a show that was filmed up around Alaska or it might have even been Canada and it was fishing trawler boats and life and times in and around the harbor .. anyone remember what it was called ?

Edit : I just remembered what the show was called " Beachcombers " i loved that show !! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beachcombers
