There were many. In no particular order, Combat, Space 1999, Lost in Space, Hogan's Heroes, Logan's Run, Greatest American Hero, Magnum PI (the 328 was my dream car), Six Million Dollar Man, Man From Atlantis, Buck Rogers in the 25th century, Wild Wild West, Have Gun Will Travel, Rifleman, and so many more.
Y'know after listing those above, i kinda realised that tv shows these days seem to be just really really bad. Nothing on tv these days seems to make me go "omg i have to get home by 7pm to watch ...."

Wonder Woman! I was thrilled that she was single with a badass car & a killer wardrobe, AND she was a superhero. I used to put on my underoos & spin until I puked because I just knew that flash was coming.

Funny, me too. It's one of the mysteries of my childhood why I became hooked on a primetime soap as a kid. Neither of my parents watched the show.

My parents didn't watch it either. I loved it, still do. On season 4 :)

All the Saturday morning cartoons ((1970"s) but mostly the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour. And then Creature Feature when cartoons were over. Also, Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea.

Bugs Bunny for the win.
cometshoney@reddit
Monday night was the only school night I was allowed to stay up for an extra hour so I could watch The Rookies and S.W.A.T., so I'm guessing it's a tie between the two.
Ok_Industry3016@reddit
Transformers.
Keefer1970@reddit
The original "Battlestar Galactica." I was crushed when it was cancelled.
