Thread: Shows you watched as a kid

"The Mickey Mouse club"

Dobie Gillis. Maynard was cool he listened to Thelonious Monk

My favorite Saturday morning show was Captain Gallant of the French Foreign Legion.

I loved the cold war era spy shows. The Man Called X with Barry Sullivan and Foreign Intrigue with Gearld Mohr.

The PI shows: Darren McGavin as Micky Spillane's Mike Hammer and he also played an ex con who became a private detective. How could forget Dragnet - the earlier shows - not what came later.

Meet McGraw with Frank Lovejoy.

Later on Then Came Bronson with Michael Parks. Route 66,

and the beat goes on......

Now that show gets you a free pass into the old farts club!!! how about Lassie,Mr Ed ,The Real McCoys,McHales Navy,The Adams Family.

Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Hunter, Rockford, Columbo

and I forgot: Spenser For Hire

What a wonderful thread. This brought back lots of great memories.

I just had to mention Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd). - I just didn't want him to be left off the list of great ones.......

Get Smart, Andy Griffith, Sgt. Bilko, Hogan's Heroes and McHale's Navy to name a few (all re-runs).

Alright, I was born in 1983, so here are the shows from my era that I liked:
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
TaleSpin, Duck Tales, Saved by the Bell, Looney Toons, Tiny Toons, Mr. Dressup, Pee Wees Playhouse.
Most of these were from when I was a kid. Looney Tunes are still my favourite, there are just hilarious to this day.

I did however watch a lot of reruns of Gilligans Island, Andy Griffith Show, Hogan's Heros, the Pink Panther, Bonanza, Big Valley. There are more but I can't think of them now.

Apart from the Belgian shows that only Belgians will know (Merlina, het liegebeest, het klein theater, ... ) I watched William tell, robin hood, the master, the ninja (I think it was called that) and Blake's 7.
And I definitely want to add 'Allo Allo' as well, Fawlty towers, You rang mylord, ...

I'm old enough to remember just about every show that's been mentioned. Let's go waaaay back to the very beginnings.
Ding Dong School (with Miss Frances)
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.
And the world's first interactive TV show "Winky Dink and You."
Check it out:
Winky Dink and You - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm old enough to remember the days before TV, when we listened to radio shows -- shows like Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, Sky King, the Cisco Kid, the Lone Ranger, and many more. I still enjoy listening to the old shows, which you can now buy on CD, when I'm in my car. You younger fellows ought to check them out, especially if you spend a lot of time in your car.
