What old TV shows do you like?

[ShawnFuzz]

@DaCoSim you have some great ones there!! Instead of just agreeing, I will try to add to your list (specifically Cheers)... Seinfeld, Quantum Leap, Malcom in the Middle, My name is Earl.... just off the top of my head.... I hope to continue this conversation, this is right up me alley!!

I would still like a definition of what "old" is so I can narrow down my thoughts! @a potato...

@DaCoSim I feel like we could talk shows together for days!!

I am going to go a lot older with the shows now... Very early Nick at Night stuff. Laverne and Shirley, The Dick van **** Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show.... geez... should we go all the way back to Mr. Ed?

P.s. for some reason the beloved actor Dick van **** has his last name censored. Very sad.

 

[DaCoSim]

lol!!! oh yeah, I remembered the Bob Newhart show very well. Along with a lot of the Nick at night and just regular nickelodeon old shows like Lassie, and I dream of Jeannie, oh yeah, I loved MASH as well!!!! And then we get into the Munsters and the Addams family. I loved both of those! Tales from the crypt. Knight Rider

It's making feel old when thinking about how Nickelodeon had almost nothing but old shows for so long!

I think the TV channel started to change with Double Dare and all of the slime being dumped on contestants.

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.

OH! And I also forgot to include The Jeffersons, Designing Women, Speed Racer (the cartoon), original Pokemon, and the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

I’ve also seen a couple episodes of a sitcom called Hazel. The main character has a unique, yet comforting voice, if that makes sense.

When I was a kid…Full House was my jam!

lol I luved double dare! Mark something hosted! And Dick Van ****, the actor, is one of my favorites, as my favorite movie of all time is Mary Poppins!!!! I should probably go find the show and rewatch it cause I only watched a little bit of that as a kid!

Cartoons/Animated shows

• Looney Tunes (the classic shorts)
• Super Secret Secret Squirrel (that mini-series/segment from the season 1 of "2 Stupid Dogs", also current hyper fixation aaaa)
• Dexter's Laboratory
• Powerpuff Girls
• Pokemon (the earlier anime seasons)
• Johnny Bravo
• Ed, Edd, n' Eddy
• Samurai Jack
• Evil Con Carne

Live action shows (a.k.a., this list is very short)

• Legends of the Hidden Temple
• Takeshi's Castle

I love almost every show on that list...Johnny Bravo is underrated!

I am going to get personal here to prove I enjoy these old cartoons and they bring back memories! (It took a bit of digging through old moving boxes to find these two toys I have had for ages....)

Dexter and Mojo Jojo! Such great characters from old cartoons!

 

[Croconaw]

A few of my favorites from when I was younger:

Hey Arnold! - This one has to be my favorite. They don’t make shows like this anymore.
Oswald - I really liked this show growing up.
Pokémon - I loved the earlier seasons.

Some old TV shows I like would be

• Stargate SG-1. Atlantis, too, I guess but it's definitely not as good. Rainbow Sun was the saving grace but unfortunately they killed off his character very quickly. Back onto SG-1, I think I've watched the series in its entirety about 3 or 4 times. I really enjoyed it, even if some characters are very a smidge annoying
• Murder She Wrote. I fell off watching it for the later series, but I really enjoyed the first few.
• Looney Toons, but I haven't watched anything from it in a good long while. It used to be one of my favourite shows though

And that's all I can think of for now. I'll probably add more later, when I remember them

 

[BakaRina]

little house on the prairie, Highway to Heaven, the first few seasons of Pokemon and some other shows that I can't remember off the top of my head right now.

 

[lasagne_of_death]

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...

Went to update my response to the thread, and I just realised that you said a lot of the same ones I did, and the one I was about to add! I already mentioned Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, and I came here to tag on Charmed (1998) since I watched the whole 8 seasons a few months ago and really enjoyed it (well. Most of it. Season seven and especially eight were not the best )

I get where everyone is coming from by saying some shows being listed aren't old, but I love Avatar the Last Airbender and you all know it had it's 20th anniversary last year right? It came out in 2005 and well that's 20 years ago.

Good taste!! I agree with you about Rainbow Sun, he had such a fun character but they totally trashed it Makes me wonder what happened in real life because the actor worked super hard to get on the show in the first place.

I love Charmed and yet I haven't seen past season 5 I think My husband always gets bored of watching it with me after a certain antagonist leaves the show..

 

[Ginny Potter]

For me

1. full house
2. Powerpuff girls
3. Lizzie McGuire
4. That's so Raven
5. All that
6. Mash
7. Looney tunes
8. Pokémon
9. Barney

All I can think of right now

 

[Randy Jade]

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.

HOW DARE YOU THE TWILIGHT ZONE IS SO FLIPPIN' PEAK TWILIGHT ZONE EVERY SINGLE DAYYYY AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL

/j people are allowed to have opinions guysss ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)chu

Little House on the Prairie. Not because I watched it, but because my granny did. It brings back fond memories of when she would watch it and I did catch a few episodes with her. I liked the one where Charles' friend had to babysit his kids and fed them rattlesnake, shot a hole in their roof, and then had to patch said roof. He kept losing track of the baby so he put her on the roof with him and nailed her dress so she couldn't crawl away.
