Favorite "Old" TV Show(s)

That show was freakin' awesome!

 

i can see why its the best show to spread lotion to

 

​

 

I have a few I remember fondly:
The Professionals - a 70s version of Spooks.
Logan's Run - I really only have a vague recollection of watching this, but I was already a bit of a sci-fi head.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Erin Grey in a shiny jumpsuit - what's not to like
Blackadder - BBC series with Rowan Atkinson. Brilliant, especially seasons 2 and 3.

 

No word of a lie... I too was thinking about this show.

(high five!)

 

Way ahead of its time.

 

Buffy

 

Here are some that played when I was a kid (and there are so many more... I watched a lot of TV, it might explain my career)

Starlost


Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (dig that theme song!)


Six Million Dollar Man (she's breaking up, she's breaking up!)


The New Adventures of Pinocchio (this was on every morning... love watching it)


Tales of the Wizard of Oz (played back to back with Pinocchio - early rankin bass)

 

I have two more that deserve recognition.

and my other favorite

Benny Hill Show
The Avengers, especially the series with Diana Rigg
Are You Being Served?
Monty Python and the Flying Circus
A Bit of Fry and Laurie

Have to add The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.Hearing Marshall Matt Dillon as the narrator was a perfect choice on their part (and yes, Gunsmoke was just a small part of Bill's long career).
....and speaking of animated - Roger Ramjet. I enjoy watching that even more now when I understand the adult jokes that were designed to fly over the heads of kids.

 

Original Dallas and Dynasty

 

Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, Mama's Family, Golden Girls, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and the Bionic Woman. I miss them all, but I can find some on late night tv and record them. Little House on the Prairie was my favorite growing up. Not so much once Laura grew up, as I was in high school and no longer as interested.

 

​

 

Oh, man, that one hurt. That you qualified it as an "old" show, that is. But now that I think about it, it's been off the air for nearly 11 years, and premiered 17 years ago. Ouch.

 

I guess If Buffy qualifies I'd have to say Xena.

 

OH yes, Diana Rigg.

 

YES DIANA RIGG.

I have the whole Avengers Diana Rigg collection on DVD. Best investment ever.

 

I remember Starlost. Wasn't that made at CFTO (or CTV) studios?

I thought I was the only one that saw that show.


What about: The King of Kensington?









What a guy!

Now, here's something that I always watched:

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein

 

@leto, Starlost was definitely shot at CFTO. It was much better than one would expect for Canadian TV at the time.

King of Kensington, excellent choice. Old school Toronto.

Hilarious House was a regular morning ritual. Love that show.
