What was the fam's Sunday night show when you were growing up? For me, it was Murder She Wrote or Life Goes On. Later, I loved The Practice!

Yall watched tv together? In my house, it was whatever my dad wanted to watch, so we all found other things to do.

That theme song from back when Bob Saget hosted still takes me back to Sunday nights when I was in elementary school.

We were a Dateline and 60 Minutes family.
Spartan04@reddit
For a few years when I was in middle school it was Seaquest. I remember rushing to finish up my homework so I could watch (or asking my mom to tape it if I wasnāt going to make it).
Moliza3891@reddit
I donāt recall which came on first, but 60 Minutes for my parents and AFV for all of us.

I donāt remember what night it was on, but I remember watching The Wonder Years with my parents and brother every week. I didnāt fully āgetā the show because I was young Kevinās age. Still, I found it fun and enjoyed watching it with the family. Years later, in college or just out of college, I watched it again. It was a completely different experience as I could now appreciate the humor/dynamics about looking back on being that age and growing up. I could relate to young Kevin when I was his age. And now I can relate to the older Kevin (the narrator). Great show. Great memories.
Also, I have a ton of nostalgia every time I hear Joe Cockerās With A Little Help From My Friends.
Dodgypizza@reddit
For me it was Wonderful Years, then Life Goes On. I had to check and can confirm WY played on Sundays.
incenseandelephants@reddit
Ok, thanks for confirming that. I thought it was Sundays, but wasnāt certain. I also remember watching Life Goes On. Another great show. Interesting that both of them had covers of Beatles songs for the opening credits, haha.
drinkslinger1974@reddit
The beginning of the Fox networks sitcoms. Beans Baxter, Gary shandling show, get a life, second chance, the Joan Rivers show. We were huge comedy fans.

Wonderful World of Disney until about 1990, then it was the Simpsons until it moved to later in the week to compete with The Cosby Show.

The Wonderful World of Disney
Rhizobactin@reddit
I think we watched that?
We used to watch some kind of film that was Sunday evenings at about 6-7pm EST. It was about 1 hr. Not animated, but a produced film of some sort.
Eventually, around 1985, I started watching Simpsons, first episode of Santaās Little Helper a few days before/after Christmas when I was in 4th grade.
