I bet you watched the Cisco Kid though. And Andy Griffith.

Oh, I got sick of typing or I could have gone on forever. What about Star Trek (the original and really the only one worth watching), Mod squad, All in the Family, Jeffersons, Laugh-In, Flying Nun, Monkees, ...............

I remember the first TV we got in the 70's was black and white with rabbit ears. There were three channels ABC, NBC, CBS and sometimes if the weather was right we'd pick up the PBS channel.
The first VCR we got was in the early 80's loaded from the top, had three speeds to record on: 2 hour good color quality, 4 hr crappy color quality would fade in and out of color and black and white and then the 6 hour option purely black and white. I think the thing cost like a 1,000 dollars and my parents had to join a video club with pretty substantial deposit. (spending that much on any thing was way out of character for my mom and dad)
In 1979 moved to a new home in the country and had one phone in the house that was connected to what was called a party line with a neighbor, was not uncommon to pick up the phone and the neighbor was using it. You just had to wait until they were finished. A few years later we finally got a dedicated line! Now everybody pretty much has there own cell phone. Geez! How did we survive!?
In college, my roommate and I had a lunch break at the same time, which just happened to be when A-Team reruns were on, so sandwiches and A-Team was a daily ritual.
Everyone had guns but nobody could hit anything, people always walked away from horrific flip/rollover crashes, and the solution to every problem was to soup up a bulldozer/semi/pickup and crash your way through the bad guys.

I watched a show the other day where a helicopter flew dead into the face of a cliff, blew up a little and then the three (bad guys) crawled out of it without a scratch! :rockin:

LOL! Yeah, and they always squealed their tires in a car chase, even if they were driving a Mustang II on a gravel road.....

Hey hey we're the Monkeys people say we monkey around... I seem to remember watching them on Saturday mornings along with cartoons. That was probably more in the 70's Johnny Quest was the coolest cartoon around. I wonder if "Haji" would be PC incorrect today.

What did you watch when you were a kid? Oh sorry, they hadn't invented TV yet. Did you huddle around the 'ole AM radio and listen to stories?
That's to funny. Most Sundays were spent at relatives houses and they were about 70 miles away. On the evening car rides home my family listened (on the car AM radio yes) to Mystery Theater and I don't remember the name, maybe it is the name The Dark Shadow... the shadow knows!
A-TEAM!
Family loves it. Had to rewatch them on Netflix last year. I'm trying to convince the Band Director that he should play the theme song as the basketball team enters the GYM.

I never watched "A Team", and BOBrob named many of the ones I did watch when I was a kid
OH geewiz.......Leave it to Beaver,Lassie, Rin tin tin, The Lone ranger, Sky King, F Troop, The Ed Sullivan Show, and Saturday morning cartoons. I must be getting old. Cheers
but I'll add to that list: Hopalong Cassidy, Cisco Kid (think that was already mentioned), Roy Rogers, Superman, Jungle Jim, Howdy Doody, the Micky Mouse Club (I had the biggest crush on Annette Funicello), Groucho Marx, This is Your Life, What's My Line?, Sea Hunt, The Millionaire (when a million dollars was a lot of money), and a bit later there was Wagon Train, Rawhide, Bonanza, Combat, Candid Camera....
EDIT: oh, yeah, add Gunsmoke and Paladin to the list
Wow, I didn't realize I watched that much TV back then.
