I suppose we remember The Adventures of Jim Bowie & also Daniel Boone ?

Yeah, I remember those. But who remembers Long John Silver, Last of the Mohicans and The Count of Monte Cristo? Yes, these were real shows. I didn't make them up. And how about, The Buccaneers and Adventures in Paradise?

Champs like Joe Brown, Carlos Ortiz, Emile Griffith, Dick Tiger, Gene Fullmer, Paul Pender, the Canastota onion farmer, the great Carmen Basilio. Sonny Liston of course and Cleveland Williams.... I could go on and on but I guess you already know that.

The most entertaining fight i ever saw was Ron Lyle vs George Forman what a knock down drag out fight!!

Man, other than the A-team and carebears towards the end I don't remember watch much TV. I mostly liked to watch my older brother act stupid on his bicycle.

Yes, I watched carebears. And still do.

Great thread, I started grinning like an idiot thinking of a lot of those shows and trust me you are lucky you couldn't hear me singing the Title Tunes hehehe

I was born in 197.....something, I used to watch Star Trek, Gilligan's Island, Batman, the Pink Panther, Popeye, The Three Stooges, Our Gang. Lots of Western Films, The Lone Ranger, and Kung Fu movies on Saturdays.

How about the 'Soupy Sales Show" and "Uncle Johnny
Coons"?

Maybe they were just local Chicago-land shows, in the
50's.

And:
"Tales of Tomorrow"
"Twilight Zone"
"Omnibus"

I didn't think some of y'all had television back then

Anyway, most of what I enjoyed watching included Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Woody the Woodpecker

But I also endured some Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Jeopardy, Family Feud

I think I caught of few episodes of Sesame Street and the A-Team somewhere in there too

Yeah I guessed I watched some of those old boring reruns too like the Rifleman (paw, the bad guy's lookin' fer ya, paw), Andy Griffith Show (paw, Aint Bee's lookin' fer ya, paw), and leave it to beaver (paw, nobody's lookin' fer ya, paw) zzzzz but that was only if it was raining and the chores were done and the other channels were static because of the poor weather.

Wow... I watched a lot of tv and it was all mind-numbing! I guess I watched the care bears too a little bit. And what was that show with the caboose - the getalong gang? And thundercats and heman and the smurfs and on and on and on

In the summers I endured some Perry Mason and other similar old-folk shows. And at my grandparents who had cable and let me stay up late I watched hitch**** and some of those other shows listed above in the thread by the old fogies. They were reruns of reruns of reruns
