Love American Style is the only one that's '70s only. Pluto sometimes runs first-season Price Is Right episodes on its Barker Price Is Right channel, and some of that 1972 prize music is a *vibe.*

I have never heard of Zoom, but maybe it’s because I was born in 75. I was a big fan of Carol Burnett Show, Jeffersons and The Muppets. I was more of an action show, and there were a lot of great ones on network tv then. Less so now. Mine are. Magnum PI is my all time fave. Liked Knight Rider, Greatest American Hero, Fall Guy was #2, Matt Houston, Hunter and Hardcastle & McCormick, Riptide, MacGyver, A-Team. 6 million dollar man (maybe 70’s?) No idea why but I could never get into Simon&Simon, Hill Street Blues, TJ Hooker, Dallas, Cagney and Lacey, Scarecrow and Mrs. King or Air Wolf, despite being popular shows. Sitcoms would be Cheers, Perfect Strangers, Wonder Years, Family Ties, Married w/Children and really liked Three’s Company (might be 70’s though?) Who’s the Boss, Facts of Life. Seems like so many great shows (for their time) versus now, but I m sure that every generation says it. Even the 90’s and 00’s seemed better than this junk now.

Yeah, Ritter was a master at physical comedy. I m probably in the minority, but the Terri years were my fave. Cindy years were the worst.

Teri years were my favourite as well. Recently rewatched the episode where Jack has Mr Furley pick up the “pot” from Mexico. Still very funny.

Very good shows. I did a rewatch of HSB and St Elsewhere about 10 years ago and enjoyed them very much. William Daniels is spot on as Dr Craig. I worked with surgeons for 7 years and knew guys just like that. 😂 Wonderful performance.

I used to hide behind the couch to watch Charlie's Angels while my parents watched. Loved that show. I'm sure if i watched it now it would make a hell of a lot more sense !

Don’t see SWAT on this list! Theme song is banging. In Kindergarten we used eat Chuckles (‘member those?!) and argue when we played in the woods after over who could be TJ, the sniper, or whoever!Link for the theme song below. The jumping off roofs etc with their arms in the air holding assault rifles while the song is doing the 70’s “wakka-wakka” sound makes me proud :-) https://youtu.be/C24HHwPn5fQ?si=S-Nzo4Lpfmylq_RG

Pretty much all of them that were on from 4:00 through 9:00. It would probably be easier for me to tell you which shows I didn't watch. My favorites were Facts of Life, Punky Brewster, Wonderful World of Disney, Little House on the Prairie, Love Boat, The Waltons, and Night Court.
