I loved 3rd Rock from the Sun.....

So many great TV shows... I still list my fave TV show of all time as M*A*S*H, seriously. But, I remember Nu Zoo Revue and all of those classics as a kid. Brady Bunch in syndication after school. And what about the SUPER SERIOUS after school specials..... Anybody else see "The Wave"??? Heavy.

Another one I just thought of, that tops off this cheese sandwich, is V...The T.V. series! I used to be in LOVE with Diana (Damn rat eating bitch!)

Can't forget about Quincy and Rockford Files. Loved Jack Klugman on that show.

Spencer For Hire was another detective show I liked. Robert Urich was a hottie.

Petticoat Junction
The Monkees
Gidget
Donna Reed Show
Welcome Back Kotter

Here Come the Brides!!! I have that on DVD (the first season, anyway). It actually holds up really well - I enjoy it just as much now. I never realized how handsome Aaron Stemple was (Mark Leonard). I guess at 11 I was more into Bobby Sherman.

The Monkees are another show that still holds up on DVD. In the day, it was Michael Nesmith who was my favorite. Now I get a laugh out of watching Peter - he was a pretty good actor, actually.

For "cheesy" TV, definitely MP and 90210!!! When I didn't have the time for regular soaps anymore, I watched those - cheesy acting, stories, etc. Great stuff!

Here's a new version of a Batman episode. Pretty good I think for a home made video.

The thread is BACK! You know what show I liked. Brady Brides. It was only for half a second. LOL. THere was this other series I liked too, FREE SPIRIT. This widow with his kids hires a house keeper/nanny. What he doesn't know is she's a witch. It was really cute. I beliver her name was Winnifred. IT was part of he original TGIF line up on ABC.

How about Charlies Angels? Then they made the new Charlies Angels, which my favorite is Lucy Lui. God that chick is hot! Here's something special about the new Charlies Angels movie.

Oh my. I loved RENEGADe, Becker, and Nash Bridges. Stop it, you're teasing me. Hated the Rockford Files though. Put me to sleep.

ELECTRA WOMAN AND DINA GIRL.

And of course there was Wonder Woman.

I used to watch Jonny Sokko religiously. Ultraman occasionally. Anyone used to watch Battle of the Planets?

Kaptain Kangarooo......Fantastic....loved it when that moose used to let them ping pong balls drop onto the ole mans head !

i LOVED nash bridges! most other "san francisco" based shows would use stock footage of san francisco for the intro, then film the rest at a studio in LA. nash bridges not only filmed each show here, they kept things authentic by working local businesses into the stories. they filmed near my office a lot. it was always fun to see the barracuda whiz by our front door every few episodes!

oh yeah, neal (& ross, i think) made a guest appearance on one episode.

I remember Neal saying that Don Johnson was a total asshole but Cheech Marin was real cool. That 'Cuda from the show went at auction for well over $200,000 and it wasn't even an authentic Hemi. :shock:

THe Wonder Years,

Back then I had a thing for little Winnie. I wonder if little Kev ever nailed her in a missing episode. ?

No I definitely did mean Winnie, not Willie

By the way I was allowed- I was about 15 at the time that show came out!

U.F.O.
Time Tunnel
ThunderBirds
Space 1999
Space Giants
MarineBoy
Starblazers
Logan's Run ( the series)
I read somewhere that Ted Turner bought the rights to a lot of Japanese shows and animes to fill in programing on his fledgling (then)Turner network. You can't even find the stuff on DVD because it's buried somewere in the Turner vaults.
It would be nice if he'd release it all as an early cable nostalgia compilation.

P.S. I forgot about Dark Shadows. I used to watch it at my grandparents when my dad was over in Vietnam. At seven years old it creeped me out but Kate Jackson sure looked good on it.
