In the mid 70s there was a really silly show, Mary Hartmann, Mary Hartmann. I watched it a couple of years ago on DVD from Netflix and wondered what the heck did I ever see in it! It did make me laugh because it was so nutso. I think Soap, with Billy Crystal, came on TV about the same time.
I didn't watch Mary Hartmann, Mary Hartmann but I did watch Fernwood Tonight which was about the same time (HILARIOUS!). I also LOVED Soap.
Family is a 70s drama that was quite good but has been mostly forgotten. It starred Sada Thompson, James Broderick, Meredith Baxter (who plays a "bad" girl for a change - she was rather flakey), and launched the career of Kristy McNichol.
I wish Family was still shown on some of the retro channels. It was very good. I see lots of kids of the 70's in this thread!
I used to watch Diver Dan, Thunderbirds, Paul Winchell's club house, plus the standards...Green Acres, Petticoat junction, Lucy, Bewitched, Flying Nun...as I got older Creature Feature (though it did give me nightmares, as well as Night Gallery)
Anyone besides me remember the show The Immortal? Early '70s I think. The main character had some trait in his blood that made him, well, immortal, so the government was after him (I assume to use him as a guinea pig) and he was on the run. He would help people along the way, e.g. by transfusing some of his blood to dying kids. OK, I'm laughing as I write this 'cause it sounds so hokey, but I was just a kid and I loved the show. Alas, it didn't last long.
I just found this thread and couldn't help but comment on The Immortal. I. LOVED. THIS. SHOW.
I think the people that were after the main character (played by hunky Christopher George) were actually a rich dying man's henchmen. He wanted the guy's blood so that he could live. I was probably about 12 when this show came out.
Loved Christopher George.
