    Anyone else seen an episode of Falcon Crest recently? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or both.

    Another show I get a kick out of that hasn't aged well is Love American Style, which was like the Love Boat with it's rotating guests of popular stars of the day. I have been watching season 1 from 1969 on DVD. You can tell they went out of their way to be hip and with it but it screams dated hippie sexual revolution.

    One that really cracked me up was a segment called Love and the Door Knob where Stefanie Powers and her then current husband Gary Lockwood play a newlywed couple who decide to be honest about each others flaws. Stef tells Gary his mouth might be a little small. While she is in the other room, he caps his mouth over a door knob and get's it stuck.

Like Nick at Nite, TVLand and Game Show Network.

    How many channels are running Scrubs, Raymond, King Of Queens, Family Guy, Friends, Roseanne, How I met Your Mother, Big Band Theory etc....? Just about every one of them since Viacom pretty much owns every channel out there.
    And with technology changing so fast, today's kids call something from 2 years ago "old". It's weird. I've seen kids say, "Oh that show/song is so old!" and it's something from 2/3 years ago. I know we didn't think like that when we were kids. I think it's because pre-internet/computers things weren't changing so fast. When you buy a phone or a computer, it's considered out of date in a year. I remember the first time I heard Van Halen on the classic rock station and I about died. A few years ago I worked with an 18 year old who didn't know who Journey was. I put the radio on the classic rock station for the next few months and every single time Journey was played I told him, "Hey, that's Journey!" Poor kid. LOL! He'll never forget who Journey is now!

    Wasn't that the early sitcom starring Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman?

    I was listening to an old radio episode of Dragnet last night. Friday and Romero had picked up a suspect and were about to search his bedroom, when the suspect said "Well, I hope my wife made the bed. She's a good little homemaker, but sometimes she gets a little sloppy."

    I don't think he'd get to say that line today. Think it, maybe, but not say it.

    I bought the first 2 seasons on DVD last year and it screams 1968-1969 with the clothes, decor etc.....She does drive an awesome 1969 Barracuda convertible.

    Doris was at her peak 1959-1965

    I agreee. 60's cars were awesome. I saw the first episode of the Brady Bunch a few weeks back where Tiger breaks out of Mike's 1968 Dodge Polara 500 convertible and ruins the wedding. I would love to have that car. Mike always drove the cool rag tops and got a new one very season, while Carol was stuck with the brown grocery getter.

    If memory serves, back in the late 1960's, the NBC Tuesday night lineup was (central time):
    7:00---Laugh-In
    8:00---Dragnet
    8:30---Adam 12
    9:00---The Dean Martin Show

    ...or was it Monday nights?

    I have some gay friends who were to supposed to "star" in the gay-bear porn version of Love, American Style. OMG that theme song....

    "WOOF..WOOF..WOOF..WOOF......LOVE American BEAR Style...Hairier than than red, white and ...oh fuck year GRRRRRRRR..."

    ..the movie was supposed to be shot in Columbus ( Ohio ) , Indianapolis and Louisville, Kentucky. My friends were in the Indy scenes which were filmed...however by the time the movie reached Kentucky the director had found a "real" job with ABC/Disney and the rest of the movie never was completed but they did get paid though.

    I didn't feel like cooking after getting off from work, so we ate at Mr. Gatti's. They have two televisions mounted on the walls and one of them was playing "Good Times." I loved that show when I was a kid, but it is so cheesy and stupid to me now that it was getting on my nerves. It was the first time I've tried to watch it in over 25 years. I hadn't missed a thing. I can't imagine trying to suffer through "Mork and Mindy" "The Facts of Life" Different Strokes" "Growing Pains" "Family Ties" "Happy Days" or "Gilligan's Island" and I liked all of those shows when I was a kid. I guess it's true that some things are better just left in the past.

    Oh Hoagie, you just found a show that I used to watch as a kid when I was home sick from school. It never was Masterpiece Theater, but I must admit it is fun to see people before they were stars.

    I like Bewitched. Me-TV has a joke about them - Darrin and Larry "the original Mad Men."

    Mammy, I heard the other day that "Good Times" is being made into a movie. No other info on it. Quite frankly, the show got on my nerves when it was popular. The one-trick pony lines/mannerisms of the 3 kids got really old, really fast for me.

    I have to be brutally honest. I was a huge, huge fan of Deadliest Catch. I never missed an ep and even taped and watched it over and over again. I haven't watched the show since the season when Capt. Phil died. I tried to watch it the following season but it's the same old, same old. The beginning of the season, the struggle to catch crab, the fighting between crew, captain, brothers ect..., torturing of greenhorns. the huge bounty towards the end of the season, engine trouble, mechanical failures, the Coast Guard coming out to rescue or search, I could go on and on.

    I do still admire fishermen for the job they do, DC has just become too repetitive. It's the same thing every year. I don't hate the show now, I just don't enjoy it as much as I did. Plus, I don't think any of the fans will ever really get over the loss of Capt. Phil. That was a tough one.

    I liked everything about Seinfeld except Seinfeld. The other characters carried that show. I liked only the early years of Mash I never could not stand little house on the Prairie hated most all sitcoms. Never loved Lucy. Missed many shoes due to years working evenings. When I think about it I dsidn't much like TV at all after the age of twelve. But my pick for all time greatest is The Andy Griffth show when Don Knotts was on it. I loved Barney and Opie not so much Andy.

    Mary, "Good Times" was popular when I was in elementary and middle school. It started when I was six years old and ended when I was eleven, but I didn't start watching it when it first came out. You are right about the one trick pony lines and predictable mannerisms of the characters, but I didn't see it at the time. I sat in Mr. Gatti's last night and didn't really give the show my undivided attention, but it was so corny, it made me roll my eyes. There was a gang member who had JJ and had a pistol pointed at his face and JJ just kept firing off stupid remarks, like anyone would rattle like that with a loaded pistol in their face. I was cheering for the gang member and hoping he would shoot JJ and put him out of my misery. When I was a kid, I loved hearing him say "Dy-no-miiiite!" Now it's like WTF? It's the same with Arnold Drummond saying "What chu talkin' about Willis?" It was funny thirty years ago, but nauseating now.

    My Mom and Dad never liked the show when my sisters and I watched it. We only had one old black and white television that got three channels and we looked forward to watching "Good Times." Mom and Dad would stay in the kitchen while we watched it. Now that I will very soon be 45, I can see the show from their point of view. The show was very predictable and horribly cheesy. Since we grew up in a rural town, seeing a high rise apartment building on television was just incredible to us since there was nothing even close to that around us or anywhere else we had ever been. We actually thought their apartment and The Jefferson's apartment was really cool. We didn't get out much. Lol

    One old cheesy show that I still like is "Mama's Family." Does anyone else here like it?

    My parents wouldn't allow me to watch All in the Family. They didn't like Archie's big mouth and they hated his wife's voice. When I got older I tried to watch it and couldn't get past the opening with Edith screeching "Those were the days" Ugh. Horrifiying.

    Growing up I can remember quite a few kids who weren't allowed to watch All in the Family and Sanford & Son yet for some reason the very same kids were allowed to watch Good Times, The Jeffersons..even Maude. Never could quite figure that one out. My sister is like that. She will not allow her kids to watch The Simpsons yet they are allowed to watch Family Guy and the Cleveland Show. Maybe she thinks Seth MacFarlane is a great role model for her kids..who knows !!

    My grandparents watched "All In The Family" and I watched it when I was there. Even though Edith was a dingbat and Archie was a crude baffoon, I still liked it. It really is amazing though to hear some of the things said on television shows back then that would never fly now. There was no such thing as being politically correct on some of the shows. I remember when Gloria gave birth to her baby boy, Joey, there was an anatomically correct doll of him that was sold at the time. I liked the show and wanted the doll because of liking the show, but Mom wouldn't let me have one because she said the doll was "nasty" because it had a weewee. Um, yeah.

    I'm glad other people like "Mama's Family." My younger daughter loves it, too. It's a fun show to me.

    I remember "Knight Rider." I never was much of a fan of it though. My daughter thought the guy's real name was David Hasselhog. Lol

    McMillan & Wife: Susan Saint James' dreadful hairstyle is a major distraction for me, as are many of the clothes. (Although I am a child of and love the 70s!) I can somehow get past all that when I feel the need for light, detective-style timeframe specific entertainment.

    So very true !! Even the most simple of TV shows from back in the day wouldn't fly now. For example back in the mid 80's there was syndicated low budget TV show called The 20 Minute Workout. All it was, well just women dancing to techo music doing AEROBICS !! Thats it !! Today such show would be considered putting down women or even "too sexual" .

    Television isn't the only media that has changed over the years as far as trying to play safe is concerned. Radio over the years had changed as well. Unless it was by pure accident I never did hear the word "fuck" over the air but pretty much everything else was fair game. Even here in Western Maryland as late at the late 90's I can remember hearing our own local announcers saying such stuff as "..oh god damn" " ...you son of a bitch" , "..are you a whore ??" even "...now that sucks ass"..right on the radio. Living in Denver in the early 90's I think I still have the tape of the local KOOL 105 KXKL-FM morning show from about 1991 where the female co-host was calling herself "..sweet pussy" on the air. Today one just can't say such stuff on the air.

    I remember having such a crush on Kate Jackson way before she was ever was on "Charlie's Angels" she played a nurse on the 1971-1972 series "The Rookies"..which flopped by the way< I think it was trying to be a "Mod squad" clone.

    I like Mama's Family. It was never "mushy" like so many other shows could be. I also liked The Jeffersons. Those characters were so well thought out. My parents watched "All in the Family" when I was growing up. They never seemed to mind that I was in the room. I didn't understand the show as a child. One show that I think is really cool and I wish that they would bring back is "Ellery Queen."

    Here's one that'll make everyone cringe "Battle of the Network Stars" It was some half-assed Olympics with stars from TV shows , at the end the top 2 networks would have a Tug-of-war to declare the winner. (horrible)

    I remember the women on this show showing off their "pokies" (nipple protrusion through the shirt top). I remember seeing Linda Blair's, Cathy Lee Crosby, and Lynda Carter.

    I wasn't allowed to watch any of the shows you listed. It all boiled down to many characters being too loud. Of course, in those days, we only had one TV and Dad was in charge of it LOL. We did watch the Carol Burnett Show, any and all Bob Hope specials, Sonny & Cher (getting the picture? Dad loved variety shows LOL).

    I agree with you, Family Guy is a lot more raw than the Simpsons. I think Family Guy is more of an adult type cartoon. Seth does get pretty dirty in some episodes.

    I don't believe Linda Blair participated but the concept was sheer genius. Put some of television's hottest looking stars in tight, clingy swim suits and voila! Eye candy for box sexes.

    To add semi-credibility, throw in Howard Cosell as as host of Battle Of The Network T&A.

    Watched an ep of Happy Days yesterday from 1976. Joannie asked Fonzie to be her partner in a dance marathon. He agreed but for some reason if he lost he had to get a crew cut. His bike broke down before the contest and he had to walk it 12 miles into Milwaukee. He was so tired to the point of delerium towards the end when it was just him and Joannie vs. her high school nemesis and was about to be taken out on a stretcher to an ambulance by paramedics. The evil Joannie nemesis gloated and mentioned the crew cut to Fonzie upon which he regained strength and wore them out doing a Ukranian Cossack Prisyadkha dance to the music of Hava Nagila.
    The live studio audience cheered uncontrollably before Joannie was whisked away and forcibly finger fucked by the Fonz in his office off camera.

    Fucking ridiculous.
    Yet we ate that shit up like it was hotcakes in syrup in the 70s.

They got the baby out, and they were checking him/her over when the mom came out of a nearby salon with rollers in her hair. Instead of putting cuffs on the mom and hauling her off to jail for neglect, then slapping her dumb curler-faced mugshot on The Smoking Gun, Johnny and Roy stood there and got yelled at by the mom for daring to interfere with her parenting!
    OMG-I had such a little-girl crush on Johnny Gage.

    I remember the episode with the guy who choked on the pull tab from his beer can, and the one with the woman who passed out because she was trying to lose weight by wrapping herself in Saran Wrap in the middle of summer.

    I still try to catch Emergency on Saturday afternoons on ME TV. I think it's still a good show.

    And I had a crush on Randolph Mantooth big time. Looking at him now, he has aged very, very well. He's still hot.

    I remember Emergency following Adam-12 on Saturday nights in the 70's, which was awesome when I was 10yrs old...
