I know there was an 80's cartoon thread on here, but I didn't see anything for the subject of what shows you like watching when you grew up. For me it was:

Black Sheep Squadron
Hogan's Heroes
Happy Days
MacGyver
Murder She Wrote
Mystery Science Theater 3000
and others....

Happy Days
The A-Team
Blue Thunder
V (both the mini-series and TV show)

Muppet Show
Three's Company

...and the list goes on.

Quoting Tom in NO (Reply 6): The Brady Bunch ("that's Diamondhead, dumbhead!")

LOL! Oh yeah. That particular line, delivered by one Peter Brady to Bobby Brady, was a voiceover as a shot of their United Airlines DC-8 was on final approach to HNL from LAX. (Incidentally, the Brady's departed from their
3-part episode/Hawaiian vacation on a United Airlines B-747-100. I still recall the ending shot of the episode, showing the UAL74 roaring down the runway and taking off).

My fav shows while growing up:

"Get Smart" - I LOVED the cool Opel GT that Max drove. Man, I wanted
that car!

"Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea"

"Lost In Space" - "Danger Wil Robinson!"

"Gilligan's Island" - My fav episodes are "Miss Castaway" and the episode
where "legendary" Broadway producer Harold Hecubah
(played by Phil Silvers) flees from civilization in order to
come up with a sure-fire winner play. He lands on the
island, and subsequentley casts the castaways in a
VERY off-Broadway musical version of "Hamlet".

"The Brady Bunch" - Marcia vs Jan. The show sucked when they brought on
Robbie Rist to play "Cousin Oliver" (Season 5). And of
course, there was Miss. Ann B. Davis.....nothing more
need be said.

NOTE: Half my siblings prefered "The Partridge Family" - we had debates as to
which ABC Network sitcom family was the best. Remember Reuben
Kincaid, their manager, and his swinging Stewardess girlfriend, Bonnie
Klineshschmidt?

"Land Of The Giants" - I still have my LOTG metal lunchbox.

"The Thunderbirds"

"Green Acres" - "Boot Olivah! Vy do ve hav to shtay here in Hootashville vhen
ve coould be back in da shity? Ve coold take Arnold ze
Pig vis us."

"The Trouble With Tracy". Only Canadians of a certain age will know this
stinkeroo of a Canuck sitcom. SO bloody bad it
is a bonafide classic. The scripts and acting sucked
BIG TIME, but man oh man!

"Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom - Sunday afteroon - CBC 5:00 p.m.
"Wonderful World Of Disney" - Sunday Nights, CBC 6:00 p.m.

"Marcus Welby, M.D." - Don't ask, I can't explain it.

"Adam 12"

"Starsky & Hutch" - Another 70's relic that is SOOO Cheeseball slime.
Remember Huggy Bear? Loved their Ford Torino.

"The Uncle Bobby Show" - Weird, VERY weird kids TV show on CFTO TV.

"EMERGENCY!" - Yes yes, this 70's classic about paramedics and Rampart
General Hospital. The most exciting segments of the episodes
were the scenes of the paramedic truck, sirens blaring, roaring
through the streets of L.A enroute to an.....EMERGENCY! LOL.

Later on, as my I matured and turned into the klassy guy (*cough*) I am today, I watched:

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" - I LOVED Rhoda Morgenstern, she rocked. And
who could forget the classic episode (one among
so many of this great series) which featured
"Ted Baxter's Broadcasting School".

"The Carol Burnett Show" - In Canada, this show was sponsored by KRAFT
foods, and the commercials would always be
for recipes involving Cheez Whiz. Blech.

"All In The Family" - My fav episode is when Edith is going through a very
difficult menopause - her mood swings and violent
outbursts make her more of a "Dingbat" than usual.
Hilarious episode. Excellent series, superlative scripts and
performances.

"M*A*S*H" - A classic.

"Dallas" - A show that, when viewed today, is SO Cheesy, but ya gotta love it.

"Dynasty" - ONLY because of Pamela Sue Martin (Fallon Carrington) who was
in the cast from season 1 -3. I had a major crush on her. After
she left the show, I dumped it.

"Three's Company"

"The Bob Newhart Show" - The original with Suzanne Pleshette, who had the
that deep, smoky sexy voice!


LOL, ironically, today I watch little or NO television at all, with the exception of Discovery Channel, History Channel and HBO. TV of the 60's and 70's was THE BEST.

Scooby Doo
Looney Toones
Alf
A-Team
Airwolf
Married...with Children
X-Files
Simpsons
Inspector Gadget
Knight Rider
10 shows/series, and not one of them German. Now what does that say about what I think of German television   ?

Quoting DAL767400ER (Reply 12): Married...with Children

Anyone here in the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood (NO MA'AM)? LOL

Quoting Greyhound (Reply 13): Anyone here in the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood (NO MA'AM)?

No, I was denied admittance because I was too young  .

Quoting DAL767400ER (Reply 14): No, I was denied admittance because I was too young

Did you see the episode where they were trying to pick out a new official beer for NO MA'AM? They settled on the same one they started out with... Girlie Girl.

Quoting Greyhound (Reply 3): Knight Rider

Quoting Mikeyboy (Reply 5): knight rider!!! (the best)... still got it on tv here on uk gold!!!

Quoting L-188 (Reply 8): Knight Rider

Looks like the love of David Hasselhoff is not limited to our German friends. 

Logan

Quoting Logan22L (Reply 16): Looks like the love of David Hasselhoff is not limited to our German friends

Feeling left out Logan?  

I could care less about Hasselhoff. I liked KIT.

As a kid it was always "Bewitched." There wasn't anything to stop me from being in front of that TV at 7:30 on Thursday nights. I was too young to appreciate some of the humor, especially the last season (which was the worst rated, but as an adult had some of the best jokes, i.e. Esmerelda's goof with the Leaning Tower of Pisa "one tower (sandwich), and make it lean..."). As an adult watching the reruns, I appreciate it so much more, but you could tell they were running out of fresh ideas. Looking forward to the Nicole Kidman movie this summer.

As I got into high school in college it was the two D's - Dallas and Dynasty. Battlestar Galactica was a treat, and I am really enjoying this new version.

TV is for people with time to waste!  

..wasn't allowed to watch T.V. as a child.....

And what do you guys think about Seinfeld ? I'm still laugh a lot watching them again and again   

I never quite "got" Seinfeld.

I gave up on sit-coms in the 90's. Watched more "Discovery Channel" "A&E", or "History Channel" stuff. People would tell me , "you gotta watch Mad About You, or Seinfeld, or Freinds!". So, I'd tune in for the first time and end up seeing what would be considered a "classic" episode. "The Soup Nazi" was the first Seinfeld I ever saw. I then watched it THE NEXT WEEK, and it was some show that I didn't find funny at all. Same thing happened with "Mad ABout You". It was a Thanksgiving episode where they destroyed about 19 turkeys trying to make Thanksgiving supper. The NEXT episode wasn't all that funny, so I'd just give up, and go back to watching "Law and Order" reruns...

Time Tunnel
Mod Squad
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In
Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
Sonny and Cher

I was a Nickelodeon kid, for sure, so just about anything on Nick from the late 80's to the mid 90's I watched...

Greg

In no particular order...

The Muppet Show
Sesame Street
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood
The Electric Company
3-2-1 Contact
NOVA
The A-Team*
Charlie's Angels
CHiPs
The Dukes of Hazzard*
MacGyver (I'd throw a fit if I missed it)
The Cosby Show (family time)
ALF
227 (family time)
Gimme A Break*
America's Most Wanted*
In Living Color*
The Golden Girls (family time)
Knight Rider
Airwolf
Happy Days (lost interest early)
Bewitched (lost interest early)
Married... with Children (lost interest)*
The Simpsons (lost interest)*

*My parents didn't like me watching these shows, but they stop me, either. They didn't like the violence -- except in the case of In Living Color, Married... with Children, and The Simpsons, which they thought were rude and crude.

Oh, and I never had cable.

Star Trek ("He's dead Jim")
Adam 12 (one Adam 12,see the man")
Emergency ("Squad 51 KMG-365")
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom ("Jim, the giraffes are eating the leaves")
Hawaii Five-0 ("book 'em, Danno")

Quoting Bongo (Reply 21): And what do you guys think about Seinfeld ? I'm still laugh a lot watching them again and again

Seinfeld ROCKS!!! yadi yada yada  

Quoting Redngold (Reply 25): America's Most Wanted*

I'd say that one and Unsolved Mysteries. When I was little, Robert Stack's voice and that creepy a$$ music would freak me out.

I'm older than most so my choices tend to be 60 & 70s. Let's see...

Emergency!
Lassie
Gentle Ben (Gotta love the airboat!)
60 Minutes (it came on after Lassie IIRC)
Wonderful World of Disney
Batman! (Same Bat time, Same Bat Channel)
Gunsmoke
Bonanza
MASH
Mary Tyler Moore (but only because my Mom dragged me shopping in Downtown Minneapolis the day they shot Marys famous "hat toss")

An astronaut sitcom -- Can't think of the name, but the theme song went something like "it's about time, it's about space, 'bout two men in the strangest place"

edit:"It's About Time" a 66-67 Sherwood Schwartz sitcom. Google found it with the keywords "it's about time, it's about space" -- amazing....

[Edited 2005-05-13 20:49:49]

I forgot about some of those shows!

3-2-1 Contact/Bloodhound Gang
227
Who's The Boss
Moonlighting (Coming on DVD!)
Kate and Allie
Newhart (Vermont)
Gimme A Break
Blossom
Facts Of Life

GO CANUCKS!!

Just about all the classic '80s shows, with particular favorites being He-Man and She-Ra

Quoting ConcordeBoy (Reply 31): Just about all the classic '80s shows, with particular favorites being He-Man and She-Ra

I totally second that... He-Man made it OK for a young boy like myself to play with a cute muscle boy, and She-ra made it OK for a young boy to play with dolls

Oh my God, someone ELSE watched it, too. It was on for one season, and they ended up taking the cavemen BACK to "modern time", as I remember.

Have a look:
