Loved MASH (Monday at 9:00), Barnaby Jones(Thursday at 9:00), Quincy(Thursdays at 8:00), and Little House(Mondays at 7:00). And I can't forget the Rockford Files and Manix!

We always had church on Sunday nights so I only got to see the 6 Million Dollar Man if the Dallas Cowboys had a 3:00 game and then went into overtime, pushing that whole Sunday night CBS line-up back an hour. lol

I also remember watching Crossfire on CNN... with Buchanan and Braden, as well as The Tonight Show, which always ended the night. The tv screen would show an American flag and the national anthem would play and the tv would then cut to static.

I sort of miss those days when the media at large shut down at midnight.

I loved the Jack Benny Show, especially when he went into the basement. When really little, the Mickey Mouse Club, Flicka and Crusader Rabbit.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was great especially Fractured Fairy Tales.

I forgot
I Love Lucy
The Lucy Show
The Monkeys
The Monroes
Rat Patrol
Father Knows Best
The Donna Reed Show
Big Valley
Bonanza
And my all time favorite...Here Come the Brides, oh how I loved Bobby Sherman.
Adam 12
Emergency

I was a kid in the sixties so besides Cpt Kangaroo (I loved the dancing bear) and Romper Room I watched the cartoons like Kimba the White Lion, Looney Tunes, Popeye, Hanna Barbera, Marine Boy, Speed Racer, The Banana Splits for my daytime shows.

My cousin and I had a Bonanza fan club that was my favorite show.

For nighttime shows we only had three networks so we watched whatever the popular shows of the day were. There was NOBODY I knew no matter how rich the family was that had a tv in the kids' rooms so you watched what your parents watched.

Your tv recollection is interesting...no remotes, a round dial you had to turn, 3 channels......... barely a generation later and not only do the kids have their own tv, most have their own puters and all have cell phones. Shoot, most 16 year olds are on their second or third cell phones.

I saved and saved for a record player with two speakers that I bought myself. Now the mp3 players, etc are like cracker jacks toys, the kids use 'em, toss 'em aside and get something different all the time.

When I was really young, the only shows I remember watching are Captain Kangaroo and the Wonderful World of Disney. We didn't watch much TV back then - mostly played outside with our friends - riding bikes, playing with dolls outside, hopscotch and four-square.

That's all so, so true. Remember channel "U"?

For me it was an 8-track player. Saved and saved and saved for that thing, and to this day when I hear a song I had on an 8-track, I can still her the 'click' that happened when it switched tracks mid-song. lol

Channel "U"-that takes me back!

I can hear my mom yelling at us for turning the dial too quickly, we were going to break it!

I miss after school specials too. The one about where babies came from was great-very well done and explained things clearly without being too cutsey. The only time I can remember my mom and I actually planned to watch something together and have a discussion about it, I think I was about 8 or 9. I've heard that some of the after school specials are available on dvd.

My parents had an 8 track when I was really little and I remember wondering where the click was when I'd hear songs on something other than 8 track that I normally heard on 8 track.

The coolest thing was the velvet lined box they had for taking 8 tracks in the car. Yup, there was an 8 track in the car. The case was as big as an overnight bag and held maybe 10 8 tracks, each one in its own slot, and was lined with red velvet and black leather on the outside with a lid that closed with a big clasp. Good times.

I guess I'm a lot older than most of you. I watched a lot of the shows listed here, but can't say I was still a kid.

But as a kid:

Howdy Doody

The Children's Hour (I think this might have been a regional NY show because the sponsor was Horn & Hardart Automat)

Juvenile Jury


Definitely wasn't a kid, but loved the show
"Life Goes On"
