What old TV shows do you like?

[a potato]

I’ve always loved the show Dinosaurs. Whenever I’d go to the library when I was little, I’d almost always check out the same tape that had two episodes on it. I’ve been rewatching a bunch of episodes lately, and I know them like the back of my hand.

What old shows is everyone else into?

 

[KittenNoir]

An old show I LOVE is the Batman 1966 tv series I am obsessed !!!!

 

[SkyKnight03]

My mother likes older TV shows so I got accustomed to having them on.

I like The Dick Van **** show, The Rifleman, and Dennis the Menace.

 

[Nunnafinga]

I've always liked The Andy Griffith Show,Leave It To Beaver,the original Star Trek,The Avengers,Batman and Thunderbirds.I recently discovered a show from the early 80's that I never watched when it first aired but The Powers of Matthew Star is cheesy good.

 

[Twiggy_Star]

The original MLP cartoon. I don’t watch it often, but I find it really charming

these are pretty nostalgic to me: sailor moon, martin mystery, storm hawks, team galaxy, dragon tales, winx club, bratz, kirarin revolution, and yumeiro pâtissière

My all-time favorite show is Dallas (original series), so yeah that's my go-to show by default. I tend to mostly watch older shows since I'm old myself. Stuff like Dynasty, The Colbys, X Files... I kinda got stuck in the 80s and 90s and refuse to leave, haha.

I've been watching the twisted tales of Felix the cat lately and it's been pretty funny ngl. I also really like the early seasons of NCIS but idk if that's really "old" yet. It feels like it to me anyway.

did you censor that?

This doesn't really count as it is still a show, but seasons 1-10 of The Simpsons.

I didn't censor it.

It got caught in the filter because it counted as a slur.

MASH!!!! It’s just so funny. I didn’t watch it until I was older I think I watched it in 2018 maybe for the first time, but it’s awesome!

I also love almost any 90s sitcom, they’re just so nostalgic and easy to watch.

A weird niche one that many probably won’t know, but the Disney show So Weird, it was like x-files for kids and got me obsessed with weird stuff!

 

[QueenCobra]

Gilligan’s Island was already retro when I was a kid and my sister and I thought it was hilarious. We even had the series on DVD!

I watched all of I Love Lucy during COVID. A classic!

I’ve also watched all of Sanford and Son. It is probably the funniest show I’ve ever seen.

Also, Mama’s Family, All in the Family, King of Queens (kinda older), Golden Girls, and Columbo.

What you all's definition of old?

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Yeah how old of a show we talkin'?? Some of these comments make me feel old

The oldest show that I like that comes to mind is I Love Lucy!

If we're counting 90s/early-to-mid 00's shows... I like Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, Buffy, PPG, Pokemon: Indigo League, Dexter's Lab, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy...

 

[Bluelady]

The only show that I can rewatch with no problem is I Love Lucy. I have to be in a specific mood to rewatch shows like Golden Girls or The Twilight Zone.

 

[Chris]

Red Dwarf is my favourite TV show of all time.

 

[nightglow]

There is quite a few old shows I like.

Grace under fire
Roseanne (not the reboot)
The Golden Girls
Empty Nest
Frasier
Cheers
That 70s show (not the reboot)
Supernatural
Smallville
Pokemon seasons 1-5
The Simpsons (no idea the seasons)
Arthur (yes, but I find the art and topics good and cute for kids and it is nostalgia for me)
Stargate!! How could I forget you
There are probably others...

There are old shows I remember liking but haven't rewatched since so I feel like I can't really add them to this list such as Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, Sabrina, Home improvement, third rock from the sun, saved by the bell, boy meets world, magic school bus, bill nye, Doug, recess, and Family Matters is what I can remember..
I'm sure some of it has aged as the times have changed alot.. not to mention I am also alot older than when I watched these on TV and some of these are more for specific age groups so there are probably some I'd be giving the side eye too now lol.

Seeing it listed out makes it look like I watched a ton of TV.. which I guess it was on a lot when I was a kid... But I haven't really turned the TV on since being on my own. I only turn it on if there is something in particular I want to watch at a particular time. Actually, I don't really remember the TV being off growing up except for when everyone was sleeping.
