You know reading through all this it is clear that there were a lot of quality, scripted Shows on the 3 networks before 1990. I can only watch PBS or movies at this time and space.

Haha. All in the Family! We called it “Archie.” That show was a masterpiece for that particular time in the US, especially the early episodes when Vietnam and Nixon were in the nightly news (which my father watched from the dinner table.)

Guiligan's island, trapped w pretty girls, Charlie's Angels, Brady Bunch, more girls. Don't get me wrong, A team, Dukes, Hogan's Heros, plus Scooby and Bugs... but not enough girls. I just wish Wonder Woman was a better show. It was pretty blah, aside from the initial plot. 70-80's TV's were the best. Add in some Atari, any game will do. Then we got it all at once, whenever we wanted - I leave you with VCR.

I was obsessed with MacGyver and trying to figure out how he knew to improvise everything. I even dressed as MacGyver for Halloween one year, complete with a homemade Phoenix Foundation ID card and a Swiss Army knife.

[-]

ProfessorCH@reddit

I still have my Swiss Army knife from childhood. I had a small pocket knife (farm girl) that my grandpa gave me when I turned five. When I was about 12/13 or so, I begged my grandpa for a this fancy Swiss Army knife in the case at the feed store. It was so expensive and a pure splurge for him. I’ll never forget how proud I was that he bought it for me. Between my grandpa and MacGyver, I knew I could survive any scenario. In reality, I can fix a lot of shit when it breaks.

Funny story about Knight Rider ( which was my favorite show ) : my parents took me to Universal Studios in California in '83 ( i was 10 ) and i got to sit in KITT. Being an attraction , the car would interact with whoever was inside for the money paid. My dad was explaining to "KITT" that i was a big fan but that i would watch the show in French .... as i didn't understand english back then. Guess the "KITT" guy didnt know translation existed and found it pretty cool.

The Fall Guy - when that show premiered, I was 9 years old and already a hardcore Lee Majors enthusiast (had the Bionic Man “action figure”).

The Fall Guy came on Wednesday nights at 9pm. Alas, 9pm was my bedtime! I somehow convinced my parents to allow me a 10pm bedtime on Wednesdays … and after a few months they stopped paying attention and thus The Fall Guy single-handedly helped me advance my nightly bedtime routine 10pm.

Thanks, Lee Majors! 🫡

being from new york city, i remember growing up they had this thing call pix tv and you could call in and hear the caller going pix pix to some kind of block breaker game. but you could only do this high tech thing during certain hours of the weekday and we would just about kill each other to get in front of the tv to see if someone we knew was doing it (calling in on the phone).

Also any godzilla or bat man shows and one show that had some robot named kee op i vaguely remember...

That's awesome. You remember the episode he went to the water park with Alice in Chains? Classic

[-]

petshopB1986@reddit

Yeah, the one where the crew three cupcakes at him was funny as well. Mtv just wasn’t the same when they replaced HBB with ‘ Super Rock’ I was pretty much done with them by then.

[-]

GiantMags@reddit

I don't even remember Super Rock. If I remember correctly I think HBB was originally called The Metal Shop hosted by Adam Curry.

[-]

petshopB1986@reddit

I think so, then there was a different HBB host to start and GNR got to wreck the set because it was being remodeled anyway.,

Add an early age I realized I didn’t care for most TV shows at the time, especially comedies where people were acting silly or dumb things, and the drama involved. I preferred cartoons instead because all the hard work and effort that went into making each one. Not to dismiss the efforts of the crews TV shows, I was more into the art of the animation process

Sorry, I have them on DVD. My dad and I used to tape them on VHS and watch them next afternoon since it was on late. That show has memories for me, not very popular though. It was like a lot of other 80s shows, cool car and jazzy music. My favorite episode had Lori Petty and Gregg Henry.

Soul Train, Dance Fever, Night Flight and then YO MTV Rap, 120 Minutes and The Simpsons.

Had no use for sitcoms, game shows and melodramas. Rather go to the dentist.

Outside Simpsons maybe Pee Wee’s Playhouse.

MTV was mostly all I watched once it came out.

And movies. Back when they didn’t suck and were less than 3 hours long.
