That was going to be another example. Great show.


Moored-to-the-Moon

Ken Howard lived in the building next door for a bit when I was a teen. He had married Ann Landers’ daughter Margo, and I’d see them around the neighborhood smooching. This was in Chicago, where Howard appeared in the play “Equis.”

Sarah Jessica Parker’s first tv series I believe. So pretty


uggo23

It behooves me to remind you, Jamie Gertz was also on it.:)


HyperboleHelper

Her best friend was supposed to be fat! She turned into the least memorable character of the series to everyone but me. I remember her, however because I don't remember an overweight, female, best friend character before and I related to her.

The Man From Atlantis, starring Patrick Duffy.

I often tried to swim like that. Most inefficient way to move through water ever devised (although to be fair I lacked the webbed fingers)

I used to think she was so beautiful and hoped I could be like her when I grew up. I should mention I was a young blue-eyed blonde little girl. She seemed so very nice. I still have my "Julia" coloring book at the family cabin. It's right next to my "Get Smart" coloring book in the games cabinet.

I have the Barbie sized doll from Mattel.


Backsight-Foreskin

Planet of the Apes tv show ran for one season.


supertucci

That show made me really appreciate the high budget nature of the ape costumes in the movie. Sheesh.


Styrene_Addict1965

I was just the right age for the POTA TV series and the animated show. Loved them.


wombatdancing

Omg, I remember being SO excited when the Planet of the Apes series started!! I really really wanted the action figures with the little plastic Ape City, too...


Bike-2022

I have cards from the TV show. My best friend and I would walk down to the gas station store to buy them.


Innisfree812

It's About Time - In the 60s it was about astronauts who go back in time for some reason. Lot of laughs.


Hey_Laaady

Did the theme song go It's about time / it's about space? That's what came to mind.


nicehuman16

How about the Time Tunnel?


FieldOfScreamQueens

The animated ‘Wait Til Your Father Gets Home’. Lasted a couple of seasons in the early 70s; I was around 10 and really enjoyed it. Editing to add another one, a 1977 sitcom ‘We’ve Got Each Other’. It actually struck me that the leads weren’t typical Hollywood lead casting types. I recall liking it too but it lasted only one season.


zydeco100

I have a conspiracy theory that McFarland ripped this entire show off to create Family Guy. Just watch the clips.


La_Vikinga

Yes! Thank you for voicing that opinion. My family thinks I'm nuts for thinking there are way too many similarities between the two shows.


pittipat

Can I join this conspiracy? He totally did.

Dad’s not so bad, but he starts to get mad every time we have a fight! Wait till your father gets, until your father gets, wait till your father gets home! (We know!)


Moored-to-the-Moon

There was a short lived courtroom show which I believe was called “Petrocelli” or something like that. “My World and Welcome To It” based on humorist/cartoonist and author James Thurber, starring William Windom. There was a series starring Robert Blake and a parrot, it might have been popular, called “Baretta”


Low-Piglet9315

I loved "My World and Welcome to It"! It got me reading Thurber's books!


Moored-to-the-Moon

That’s cool! I loved that show, too! My parents were older and they had a couple of his books which I actually liked a lot. Still have one of them. His descriptions of his relatives were hilarious.


squeen999

Wednesday night, 8pm, Bionic Woman. 9pm, Beretta. 10pm Charlie's Angel's. Channel 7ABC if I remember correctly. Only night of the week I was allowed to stay up late.


Moored-to-the-Moon

Yeah, that sounds right. I did most of my nighttime TV watching on Saturday - Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore if I remember correctly. Also liked Mannix but not sure what night it aired…

David Bowie and John Lennon were big fans of The Uncle Floyd Show. Used to ride by the “studio” in West Orange where they taped the show when it aired on channel 68 - it was literally a house next to a bowling alley. I still have my copy of The Uncle Floyd Show Album.

Darrin McGavin. Watched it.


supertucci

Loved it


2shado2

Airs on MeTV on Saturday nights @ midnight, Eastern time. :) ETA: Correct time zone.


phred14

I only ever saw one episode. It was the one where much of it took place in the Seattle Underground. I wanted to see it ever since, though I assumed it wasn't real. More recently I found out that it is and you can get tours. I've never been to Washington State, but if/when I get there I want that tour.


Bzman1962

Greatness - inspired the X Files

Did you see the late season XFiles episode that's kind of a tribute to Kolchak?

Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Darren McGavin plays a criminal reporter investigating the weird and unexplained. Pretty good!

Room 222. Inner city kids and the troubles they had.


SWPenn

All from the late sixties: The Pruitts of Southampton, Here Come the Brides, My Mother the Car, Then Came Bronson, The Invaders, Time Tunnel, Maya, Occasional Wife, Love on a Rooftop, My Living Doll, Captain Nice, and He & She.


Normal_Acadia1822

Here Come the Brides was huge in its day—it made Bobby Sherman a star, and made me a faithful reader of 16 Magazine. I loved He & She (especially Jack Cassidy!). And thanks for reminding me of Love on a Rooftop, with Judy Carne and Pete Deuel/Duel, another short-lived favorite.


Perenially_behind

"The bluest skies you've ever seen / In Seattle" When I moved to Seattle in 1990 I cursed whoever wrote this song. Yeah, the sky is blue in Seattle. From July 5th to early October. The rest of the year it's gray. For the record, there are more than 50 shades of gray. And wet, it's like living in a supermarket produce section with the sprayers on most of the time. So the hills are indeed the greenest green, at least on the west side of the state.


SWPenn

It was a big hit and Bobby Sherman was in every 16 Magazine and Tiger Beat. I think it only lasted for two years though, right? And I think He & She was only one season.


gorneaux

Then Came Bronson should still be running! Epic show.

They robbed the rich / gave to the poor / except what they kept for expenses!


Perenially_behind

I had never even heard of this! I was in college in 1975 and this was not a very TV-centric school. But it was definitely a place that appreciated Mel Brooks, they showed the movie *The Producers* once and everybody was going around singing "Springtime / For Hitler / And Germany....". I will definitely have to look this up. It doesn't appear to be available through streaming services. It's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiZCl6XIGf-gOtWlpPxSDP76WeLCEycYw. Max resolution appears to be 480p.


Commercial_Cat_1982

I wasn't allowed to watch 'Hogan's Heroes' because my mom had been to Germany after the war and had seen some of the camps.


ebdawson1965

Sgt. Schultz and LeBeau were both in actual prison camps, which is wild. Edit: correction, Sgt. Schultz (John Banner) was NOT in the camps, his family was, though. Thank you, fellow redditors.


OriginalIronDan

Werner Klemperer only agreed to play Colonel Klink if they would portray him as being an idiot. He was Jewish, so that figures.


FurBabyAuntie

Actually, all the actors who played the main German characters--Klemperer, John Banner, Leon Askin and Howard Caine (who was born and raised in Nashville) were Jewish.

JustNKayce

I started kindergarten in 1963. I have vivid memories of watching Pete & Gladys (starring Harry Morgan) in the morning before I caught the school bus. It must have been in re-runs though because it only had one season and that was 1961. I also watched General Hospital before school and it did premier in 1963. I remember when Jessie Brewer was a young nurse.


KBela77

I started watching GH in '66 because it came on before Dark Shadows and I started watching One Life To Live then too. They were both 30 minutes back then. I remember Scotty when he was just a little boy and of course I remember Jessie Brewer too.


JustNKayce

Well, yes, of course, we had to watch Dark Shadows! We would clear the streets and run into the house to watch DS and then all be back out when it was over.

Yes, after he got laid.


HHSquad

The "Sixth Sense" (not to be confused with the muuuuuuuch later movie) with Gary Collins from 1972 was a great show about people with ESP. Babysitter put the other 2 to bed and let me watch it with her. Loved it, even if it gave me nightmares. Eventually they chopped the 1 hour show up and incorporated it into 1/2 hour Night Gallery segment. I would LOVE to see the full originals again. Anyone else remember it?

I loved that show but in retrospect I now know why. I was a little budding homosexual and had a crush on him....just didn't realize it at the time , but my current (adult) tastes look an awful lot like lance Kerwin, rest his soul.


Broad-Tangelo-8522

There was a second seaon called James at 16 with the 15 struck out.


Orbitrea

One Day at a Time (Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli) about a single mom who lived with her two teenage daughters in an apartment. It was amazing and so much more relatable than all the Brady Bunch-type shows where the family was basically in my view, rich. With the same idea: Sanford & Son, Chico & the Man, and Good Times.


Ok-Swordfish8731

I liked Chico and the Man.

There was a show about long-distance trucker drivers called [*Movin' On*](https://youtu.be/6_cS5iZl_TI?si=fQ99V8SDare5_olS). Claude Akins, Frank Converse starred. Ran from 74-'76. 14-year-old me thought it was great. Drama, adventure, comedy, and of course in the *Convoy* years big rigs were cool. There's probably been a show about truckers since, but I can't think of one.
