Married With Children

A few more personal favs here....

And I just started watching this again. It's a stupid ass show, but I find it funny just for that reason.

I see no one has given it up for Welcome Back Kotter or Three's Company  :p

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned already.

Hmmm....

Sesame Street

Dukes of Hazzard

Brady Bunch

I Love Lucy

The Dick Van Dyke Show

The Twilight Zone

The Sopranos (the entire last season was traumatic for me, just because it was the last season...and with their final episode, am hoping there is a movie since they left it WAO for one)

Alice

Family Ties

Beverly Hills 90210  :p

Carnivale

Rome


*Got The Waltons for Christmas, and got Northern Exposure for my birthday  :-)

Plan on one day watching Twin Peaks in its entirety from beginning to end, as one of my very best friends in HS religiously watched that show.

Oh, and am currently thrilled with The Tudors and The Riches.

That is all.
Twin Peaks just came out in this great gold box edition with all the eps and both the TV movie and the international movie version.  One of my favorite shows of all time.  I've been watching it now for about a week.  There's supposed to be all kinds of other extras for us Peaks Freaks too.

Carnivale was good too but I haven't seen the whole thing, just most of the second season, I guess.

I used to really like watching Grizzley Adams as a kid.  I think we went to see the original movie in the theaters when it first came out.

One show I didn't see until years after it first aired that I liked a lot was Rawhide.

Space 1999





I loved Space: 1999 when I was a kid.  I wanted to be on the moon when it got launched into space.  What was it?  Sept. 13, 1999?

I also loved UFO by Gerry and Silvia Anderson:



I rented the DVD's when it came out and it runs on Dish TV's Voom Family Channel sometiems and I think UFO holds up well.  Even better than Space: 1999

When I was a kid I had the toy version of the Space 1999 ship The Eagle.

Me too.  And the squirt gun.

I really wanted the walkie talkies, my friend got those and I was so jealous!

But the Eagles were cool.  I always wondered how they made more when one would blow up.

Man, I hated Rat Patrol...I had actually read about the war in North Africa by then and so was not able to achieve that "Willing suspension of disbelief" for it.  Unlike "Combat," which I thought was cool at the time but I realized doesn't stand up at all now, having seen some episodes on one of the retro cable channels a couple of years ago.

Space 1999







My brother had that ship in the picture.  Since he doesn't have any kids my son got it.  Not being one for giving a doody about antiques, or coolness factor he crash landed it about 1000 times in my back yard last summer.  It is still basically in one piece though, kinda sorta.

Arrested Development

Hogan's Heroes (now I'm showing MY age)

Bob Newhart Show (BOTH versions--especially the latter one which IIRC was just "Newhart")

Bonanza

I'd forgotten about Combat and another one was 12 O'Clock High.

I grew up watching Family Matters.  One of my favorite tv shows/sitcoms.  I had a female co-worker at my old job who could have been Urkel's mom.  We teased her about that, and she laughed too. 

Ohhhh, that was a great show! I just loved The Urkel  :-)

We used to watch Little House all the time as a kid.  It also had one of the scarriest things I'd ever seen on TV when Laura dreamed of Mrs Olson's head on platter for a Halloween episode.  Now that's good TV!

One of my earliest memories of a skit is from the Carol Burnett Show, I think.  It's a take off of the old Imperial Margerine commercials where someone would bite into some bread with the margerine spread on it and suddenly be wearing a crown but in this skit, after the guy gets the crown, some people dressed as peasents come in and murder him claiming he's a tyrant and proclaim someone else the king.

Hey, if you ever stop by Kroger again, walk by Meals to Go, and you may see the woman I'm talking about.  Her name is Gloria. 

And if you want, tell them Lauren said hi.  LOL

I may have been just a kid, but Growing Pains was also high on my list of shows.  Kirk Cameron was, and still is, a cutie.

He and his sister, Candace (from Full House) are both big time Christian conservatives. :)

They are Christian conservatives, and that why I think that full-frontal candid nude photo of Kirk on the internet is a travesty.  It was taken in a gym somewhere, apparently by someone who doesn't respect him.
