I miss the TV shows from back then, one of my favorite shows was and will always be Sanford And Son. I always like how Sanford(played by Red Foxx) talked along with some knowledge that is funny but true. Along him always having it out with Esther. And just to let you know that I am 23 Years Old now and I still watch this show oer most shows today. Todays TV shows are not good like it used to be back then I mean what happened to that substance wihtout the cliches? There are FEW shows that I watch today like Ice Road Truckers and a few other on the History Channel but Reality Shows like Housewives, Jersey Shore and all that crap can take a jump out the window for all I care.

Gawd, I loved Quincy! The whole series is in the Netflix - Watch Instantly!
The Brady Bunch was a big deal to me when I was a kid. Just rewatched the entire series (with hubby and 11 year old) and it was so much better than I remember. The last season definitely drops in quality, but overall, the life lessons are timeless.
Plus Emergency! was, I think, the first "grown-up" show I watched as a kid. I would run around yelling "squad 51! squad 51! come in 51!"
I also grew up with Dad watching the Rockford Files.
When I got a little bit older I would sneak up to watch Fantasy Island (it was on at 10pm and I was supposed to be in bed). I always loved it but it scared me a little.
