The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Lone Ranger
The Lucy Show
The Munsters
The Rifleman
The Twilight Zone
The Virginian

I think I've seen both I love Lucy, and The Lucy Show. Are they not one and the same? I'm afraid I don't think I've seen any of the others!

I love that one, I have never seen more then 6 different episodes, but I watched them over and over again. My favourite being, never name a duck!

I also like the "I love Lucy" That was a good one, although I don't remember many episodes. Although I remember the one, where she gets drafted into the army

I also like "Batman" but I have only seen one episode, The one with Mr Freeze.

Is it okay to include to more? (the Andy Griffith show, and Mary Tyler Moore)

P.S. I really like this thread.

(Edit: Lady Elanor beat me. And no, The I love Lucy, and The Lucy show, are different )

They are different... I Love Lucy was based on the life and marriage of Lucy and Ricky (Desi Arnez). And then The Lucy Show was based on Lucy living with Vivian.

Danko: It's totally fine to name more shows!

Aah! Ok; I have only seen The Lucy Show, then.

I love old shows! So far I've seen episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Star Trek: The Original Series, The Lucy Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Burns & Allen Show, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The Lone Ranger, The Roy Rogers Show, and one episode of The Twilight Zone. Lots of fun.

Oh, yes. Love that one I have seen every episode!

Ooh, I've seen some of those. They're really funny!

I LOVE the 1960's Batman series! I want the Batmobile. I used to watch that show a LOT when I was little. I haven't seen many episodes, but I like the Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy. There is a Lucy museum in Universal Studios, Orlando Florida amusement park. Green Acres is hilarious from what I recall, The Dick Van Dyke show ROCKS! I've only seen about 2 episodes of the Adams Family and don't recall those very well... I saw a couple Daniel Boone episodes, didn't like that very much though...

Let's see... *goes down the list* The Brady Bunch and the Munsters were funny! Though I also didn't see very many of those...

Adding on:

The Monkeys. Anyone else seen this? It's soooo corny it's hilarious!

The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew from the 1970s with Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy. *nod nod* Very awesome show right there.

Speed Racer. I watched this on youtube for a while (and probably want to start up again...) It's pretty much the original anime. It isn't quite anime, though. It's a cartoon and is really good, though Trixi has some really short skirts at times... If you've seen the movie and liked it, you'll love the show.

Popeye.

Annie Oakley. Oh yes.

*might have more but can't currently think of them right now* I think that's about it right now...

Yet again a show that I have only missed two episodes of.

Confession: Our family watches more old TV shows (we get them on DVD sets) than new TV shows. They say its more wholesome and the jokes are clean.

I grew up watching The Lucy Show, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, and bits and pieces of everything else mentioned above.

I'd like to see this, but Netflix doesn't have it.


Yes, yes, yes!

Does anyone else find it interesting to point out the different guest stars in shows? Recently, I've seen:

David Cassidy in Adam-12
John Travolta in Emergency!
Gary Clarke in Emergency!
Anne Lockhart in Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Mysteries and Battlestar Galactica 1978 and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

I've been there, but sadly, it was before I'd seen any Lucy.

No, I haven't seen The Monkeys, either. I saw a few of the Hardy Boys, when I was younger.

Oooh! And don't forget Gilligan's Island! I haven't seen that in forever... From what I remember, whoever the Movie Star was, she didn't always dress the best. But I also remember it being hilarious.

Ahh, old shows. The shows on TV nowadays is just....bleh....

Anyways the ones I've seen are:
Gunsmoke -- I haven't watched to many of these but I do put them on occasionally.
I Love Lucy -- That is probably my all time favorite show, I've seen every single one of them (my dad bought the whole series YAY!) and they are some of the best shows out there.
Lassie -- I used to watch it, but I haven't seen it in a while.
The Munsters -- I really like this show, I don't know why...but... it's just one of those shows.
The Dick Van Dyke Show -- I like this one, but there are somethings going on with it that are used to change the way we think. I'm not going to get to into it unless asked.
The Twilight Zone -- I love to watch this show with my Grandmother (she likes shows like that a lot), they are always interesting and keep your attention well.
Green Acres -- I've probably seen everyone of this series too, and that is not a good thing for me because I'm beginning to get Lisa's accent down....and I might annoy some of my friends with it...
Daniel Boone -- I've only recently started to watch these, so I don't have much to say on them.
Andy Griffith -- Ahh Barney, I really don't like it that they replaced him, he was by far the most talented character on that show and I was very disappointed when I heard that he'd quit.
The Little Rascals -- I haven't watched any of these in a while but I plan on watching them again soon.
Father Knows Best -- My second favorite TV program, it is hilarious and...well I'm not sure how to describe it. My older sister watches it so much she acts like Betty

*grins* I love old TV shows! Beverly Hillbillies is pretty funny, as is the Brady Bunch. Some of my favourites are Hogan's Heroes, Get Smart, Little House on the Prairie, and The Waltons.

I haven't seen Little House on the Prairie, Bushy. I loved the books, and I always worry it will ruin my idea of them.

Aside that the characters have the same names, the show is nothing like the books. But they still make for a great family watch.

*face/palm* Why didn't I remember the Waltons?! Although the earlier seasons are much better than the later seasons. *nod nod* I especially like the one where Mrs. Walton gets polio.

Come to think of it, I did see part of one episode of Leave it to Beaver, and part of one episode of the old Battlestar Galactica, but I don't know if part of episodes count as having seen the show.

I'm going to drag the cartoons in too. I'll never forget the time Bugs Bunny ate radioactive carrots and became a superhero. The villains stole his carrots. He dove into a phone booth and changed into his Navy uniform and told them he couldn't play anymore because there was real hero work to do. Those were the days.

Oh yes, I've seen some of the Jetsons and the Flintstones and Popeye. But I don't really care for them much, though the Jetsons can be funny.

I haven't seen those ones.

I've seen all that are on that list with six exceptions. My favorite TV show would have to be The twilight zone.

I have only seen a few episodes, but I love it. I've heard several of the radio episodes, too. Gracie is something else.

I've only seen the first two seasons, but I would like to see the rest of them, even though most series' kinda lose their shine as they go along. Although I did like some of the later "Little House on the Prairie" episodes. Especially the one where Mary goes blind, as bad as that sounds.

I've watched a handful of The Waltons episodes.

*head/desk* ELLY!!!!! *gaspeth* HOW COULD WE FORGET!

The Incredible Hulk from the 1970s! (Unless it's already been mentioned? Which I don't think it has....) It does have some language sometimes, and only like, twice, some "stuff," but other than that... I think it's good.

Was MacGyver mentioned?

Who likes old Westerns shows? I like:

The Wild Wild West
Rawhide
Bonanza
The Restless Gun
The Rifleman

I like The Lone Ranger and The Roy Rogers Show.

Has the A-Team been mentioned yet? Or My Favorite Martian? I like those...

The A-Team is fun.

*starts humming My Favourite Martian theme song*

No I haven't actually seen it, but I know the song.

Anyone mentioned the Adams Family?

Jonathan - I like Rawhide and The Rifleman. My family has probably seen every episode of The Rifleman that was made.

Nemo - Yes, yes, The A-Team!

Has anybody else watched Knight Rider? My mom and I started watching it a week or so ago.

Anyone seen the "Happy Days" show? It's definataly a old favorite of mine I also like Waltons and Little House on the Praire

I like the Andy Griffith Show and Doctor Who.

Ooooh! The Waltons! YUS! And I've seen a few episodes of Happy Days, but not a whole lot... And I never really did see much of Little House on the Prairie...

I think so... I didn't like it.


It's good.

Ive never watched the Adams family, but here's a very funny spoof of the theme song...

My mom and I think that's hilarious.

Mother and Dad never liked it, so we never bothered to watch it.

Our family will have "phases" where we watch a certain show, getting all the DVDs from the library of it that we can. Awhile ago it was Jeeves and Wooster, now it's Gomer Pyle. Macgyver is awesome.

We go through phases too, Jeremiah.

Phases can be fun.

I've really got into the old Westerns at the moment, and have been watching some of the Rawhide episodes. They're awesome. Just saying!

Currently, my family and I are rewatching The Jeffersons. My mom doesn't care for it much, but I think it's awesome.

Ooh, let's see...Grew up watching MacGyver to an extent...Walker, Texas Ranger...Teletubbies...Sesame Street...I remember Reading Rainbow...

Okay, away from children's shows...Uh, I was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation on a weekly basis when I was between 3-5 years old. I remember getting scared a lot.

These are my favourite old TV shows, in no particular order:

1. Star Trek (all of them)
2. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
3. MacGyver
4. The Incredible Hulk (1970s show with Bill Bixby)
5. The Waltons
6. Little House on the Prairie (I don't like this one as much as the others)
7. Bonanza
8. The Virginian (the few episodes I've seen of it, anyway)
9. Can I say Doctor Who, even if I haven't gotten to see any of the Classics yet?
10. Can I also say Happy Days, even though I only watched a few episodes before Mom decided it was inappropriate for a kid? XD

And now the childrens' shows:

11. Zoboomafoo
12. Sesame Street
13. PB & J Otter
14. Really Wild Animals - this was my absolute favourite; I returned Spin's (the animate globe) salute at the end of every episode.
15. Teletubbies

I think that's it...
