Annadrose's post about David Cassidy got me thinking about "old" TV shows, such as The Partridge Family. I liked watching The Brady Bunch and Happy Days.

What "old" shows did you like to watch??

I have found a fellow TV-watching soul in my 13 year old daughter, I am having so much fun introducing her to all the old shows! We have watched The Partridge Family, Family, Family Ties, Family Affair, (hmmm...might I see a pattern developing? ) The Brady Bunch, Facts of Life, The Waltons, and several others. I just found out that Fantasy Island was released on DVD and I'd love to share that one with her. She has discovered Seventh Heaven and The Gilmore Girls on her own (after my time...sigh...) but the one I would LOVE to share with her, which they haven't yet released is Eight is Enough! Where is it? A whole generation is growing up without the glorious blonde locks of Willie Aames as Tommy Bradford -- anyone remember the christmas show when Mr. Bradford came upon a gift that had been put away for Tommy by the now-deceased Mrs. Bradford? THAT was a tearjerker!! Sigh, they just don't make them like that anymore!

i miss the old tgif with full house family ties ,mr.beleverd,growen pains,facts of life i rember when 90210 just came out and melros place i still watch that on soap net..i see alot that i watched as a kid comming out to my kids but i can say i was going in a draw the other day and pulling out a toy smurf and my son saing whats thats mom lol that when you know your getting old... o and who can forget whos the boss was great any one rember punkie bruster???

I like the old blck and white shows like Mr Ed and those, and family affair type shows, I loved nick at nite until they messed it all up and nothing is really an old show anymore. Bosom Buddies

I loved Here Come the Brides with Bobby Sherman, The Rounders, Its About Time, Time Tunnel, The Carol Burnet Show, The Flip Willson Show, The Andy Williams show with the Osmond Brothers. I also loved Julia, Captian Kangaroo, Soupy Sales, The Courtship of Eddies Father, The Virginian, Big Valley. I think I watched too much television. lol I can't forget Dark Shadows. I ran home from school just to watch that.

Oh....I so remember that episode and I bawled my eyes out! I grew up watching The Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, etc. Still try and catch them on TV Land. I also love The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, et.

Ohh, I loved all those shows. I have often wondered why I never saw "Eight Is Enough" Or "Family" reruns. I've never seen them on Nick At Night or anywhere. I also loved Mr . Ed, Carol Burnett, all of them . Our poor kids today are just missing out! One summer my daughters and I stayed up late everynight to watch old Brady Bunch and others on Nick At Night. TV shows today just miss the mark!!

I love and have on DVD the old Twilight Zones

I loved " Dennis the Menace". Reminds me of my childhood. I used to watch " 8 is Enough* every Wednesday night. Didn't they have " Love Boat" & " Fantasy Island" right afterwards? I bought the DVD of family Affair. I watch a few episodes every day. My son has " The Odd couple " on DVD.

The quality of these shows were better. I lived for the Partridge Family and Brady Bunch. Also loved I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. And the Carol Burnett show was so funny.

I am semi Obsessed with Lucille Ball so I'm a big fan of ol "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show" episodes.

I also love John Wayne...but that's more in the movie category. I must have 30+ John Wayne movies.

My daughters are both huge I love Lucy fans. We have the entire collection on DVD. My youngest daughter (age 12), has all her friends watching them now. I think its great that they can enjoy the humor, and have so much fun watching something from so many years ago. I sit down with them and watch the old episodes with occasionally. Lucy really was one of a kind.....

Name just about any popular show from the late 40s to the beginning of the 80s and I most likely loved it!

And Sienfeld and Frasier and Golden Girls are shows I never tire of even though I have seen every single episode at least 5 times!

I'm working on my collection (I have seasons 1, 2, 4 and 6). Dh swears I act just like Lucy. Come on....that's a bad thing??? My dd's, ages 6 and 8, love watching Lucy too.

One of my favorite that I watched when they were on rerun on TV land was Petti Coat Junction. I used to love that show. Along with I love Lucy, Brady Bunch, Eight is enogh, and later on Designing women. (I lived the Sugarbaker sisters played by Delta Burke and Dixie Carter.) Ahh those were the days.

Everything cowboy

Yes, me too. They had that on SciFi a few years ago. Watching it was hilarious now!!! lol

My favorite black and white shows are Father Knows Best and Andy Griffith. I also liked Green Acres and anyone remember Hee Haw?

I am always buying TV series. Amazon and DeepDiscount have great deals every month. (usually free shipping)
It is amazing that some shows that I remember the most only run a couple of years. Gilligans Island only run for 3 years. The Monsters (only 2 years). Knight Rider (only 4 years).
I am waiting for the last 2 seasons of The Cobsy Show to be show up in the mailbox. The kids really love that show.

I did see it again a few years ago and saw the very last show. I really like when they end a series.

Where oh where are you tonight, why did you leave me here all alone. I searched the world over and I
thought I found true love. You met another and ------- you was gone. lol Yes I remember Hee Haw. When my sister was around age 3 she was in love with Buck Owens. My parents watched it every week and with only one black and white tv in the house we watched it too.

I still thing Andy Griffith is funny, and so is Dick Van Dyke, and I love Lucy. I think these old show stay funny because they really didn't do topical humor.

Some of my favorites are The Brady Bunch, Family Affair(I still have a Ms. Beasley doll), Andy Griffith, The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, Lavergne and Shirley...I liked Eight is Enough and Happy Days too.

OMG tag, you still have your Mrs Beasley doll??? I'm jealous!! I wish I still had mine....altho if I did one of the girls would have snatched it up! (my little one now has my Raggedy Ann doll from when I was her age)

Unfortunately Ms. Beasley is pitiful. Even when I was young, my mom begged me to get rid of Ms. Beasley because she was so yucky. I had cut her hair and then cried for hours because she looked awful. But I was loyal to her, LOL. I kept her and yes I still have her. She's stored away, and of course you can pull the string but she doesn't talk anymore. Her glasses are lost and I don't know if the apron thingy is still with her or not. She's valueless but it's a sentimental thing for me.
I remember very clearly my mom taking me to a store, showing me all the new & better dolls, the ones that peed, walked and talked, fancy compared to my Ms. Beasley. She told me I could pick out any doll I wanted if I just agreed to throw away Ms. Beasley. *sigh* How could she ask me to throw away my best friend just because she was a little worn? LOL....needless to say I made the decision to keep Ms. Beasley and pass up the new, shiny, fancy dolls. It was tough(I was about 6 or 7)but I just couldn't let her go.

Gloom, despair, agony on me woahhhh, deep dark depression, excessive misery, woahhhhh. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.......Gloom, despair, agony on me. Remember those hillbillies laying there singing this with that old hound dog??!!!

Oh! What a great memory! My Grandpa and I used to watch Hee Haw together...he has been gone for almost 30 years now! Thank you for the smile from my heart!

Some of my all-time favs.....

Newhart - not The Bob Newhart Show, the one w/handyman George Uttley (sp?)
Northern Exposure
The Adams Family
The Munsters
The Muppet Show
Gilligan's Island
Bewitched

I love Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. A lot of these are available to watch online at Hulu.

I like black & white shows and movies. The Betty White Show, Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, I love lucy, etc.

The more current shows I like are Family, The Waltons, Room 222, Mary Tyler Moore, Little House, Bonanza.

So are there any other channels to watch the old ones on besides Nick At Night? And who catches Family and on what channel??

The Hallmark Channel has some shows like The Waltons and Little House. Andy Griffith is on several different channels here.

So MANY listed here, I've loved. Some before my time (thank God for re-runs!) and some I grew up with. 50's - 80's....the era of the true sitcom and "Movie of the Week". Ahhhhh, I miss it!

Facts of Life - I adored that show. Nick At Nite had it for a while. I was so surprised when it wasn't on anymore. That show was the IT show for so many girls! (And guys in love with Nancy McKeon and Lisa Whelchel, hehe)

The Patty Duke Show - another show I never would have seen if it hadn't been for Nick At Nite. They were showing that one back in the early 90's, around midnight or so. I worked a particular shift that allowed me to watch it. It came on a little while after I got home, so I'd hop in bed and watch it. As far as I know, they didn't bring it back since then, but I sure wish they would!

Nice TV memories, folks, thank you!

Does anyone remember "Fury" (the black horse)? That was my ALL-TIME fave!!
And what about "Wonderful World of Disney" that came on Sunday nights, and "That Girl" with Marlo Thomas. I never see any of these on, but thank goodness "I Love Lucy" is still around - she's timeless!
