Which 2 or 3 old shows would you watch if a station picked them up and showed reruns? Mine would be:

Knots Landing
Dynasty
30 Something

I'm sure they would be so dated it would be ridiculous but I loved those shows when they were on and there were always people gathering around the water cooler to talk about them.

Wow, I'm old!!!

Unless you subscribe to some form of satellite TV, you probably couldn't find a cable network that broadcasts those shows.

China Beach. Although the series finally came out on DVD this past year, Netflix is still only showing Season 1 (on DVD - no streaming).

Other than Another World I haven't seen your shows Jay and Tamara. I must have been chasing kids when they aired. I had little time to watch anything during a block of years when they were young.

Liam, everyone I knew watched China Beach but me. I may watch it since you mentioned Netflix has it.

Woxyroxme I've heard of and watched most of your shows! Of your list I especially liked All in the Family, Taxi and WKRP in Cinicinnati.

Mouldy Old Schmo, that's okay that nobody would broadcast these shows because it's just a hypothetical question. Aren't there any old shows you'd watch if they did come on again?

-The Fugitive.
-Sonny and Cher.
-The Smothers Brothers.
-The old game shows - I've Got a Secret, Password, and What's My Line - that featured intelligent, witty panelists and guests.
-I enjoy watching old Jack Paar, Dick Cavett, and early Johnny Carson episodes on YouTube. Janis Joplin's multiple guest appearances on Dick Cavett were always fun. Those two had real chemistry, who'd have thunk it?

Absolutely WKRP (assuming original music was part of the deal) as well as Barney Miller.
