HANDS DOWN...

FAMILY TIES!!!

I LOVED that show, and will still stay up until 2 AM to watch it on TV Land in reruns!

A VERY close second for me was GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, which Thank God is FINALLY coming to DVD!

But I NEED Family Ties on DVD, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, Studio heads, are you listening?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEE!

Woah..can't believe I missed this topic...

My favorites would have to be a toss up between Perfect Strangers, Growing Pains, And Transformers

I remember it was a big deal at my house to watch thursday night tv on nbc in the 80s.  7 pm- The Cosby Show was on, I forget what was next, but at 9 pm there was a show my folks liked, but me and the bro had had enough by then. Maybe it was E.R. or Thirty-Something??

This past Christmas, my dad and I were talking and I said "I cannot believe how much of the past I don't remember." And he said "Hey the problems begin when you remember too much of the past." Good point, Old man. Good point. But what the hell was on after the Cosby show? 

I wish I could help you JD, but we didn't get network programming like you guys did.  We got a mixture of different shows all on one channel.  CBS, NBC, PBS, and ABC shows were all shown on our one channel that we got, but we didn't get every show they had.  Only a select few shows were shown.  It makes it really hard for trivia nights when one of the categories is 80's t.v.  I have no idea. Sorry, wish I could help.

My husband and brother-in-law are HUGE little house fans.  I didn't know my brother-in-law was a fan until I mentioned my husband loved it and he said "I have my kids call me Pa, how could you think I don't love it?"  I loved little house, too, when I was younger.  I don't watch it now that much, but when my husband is home with me during a weekday and it's on, we're watching little house.  I never thought I would see the day that my husband would watch the Hallmark channel (not that that's a bad thing. )! 

We couldn't get NBC very well so I didn't watch much from that newtork. We could get ABC, CBS and PBS pretty well.

I'm not sure if it was my "favorite" but I didn't miss very many episodes of "The Dukes of Hazard".

I can't believe work got in the way so much I missed this!  My favorites were You Can't Do That on Television and Double Dare.

 

I think I had a thing for slime...

And that offer of "setting my bosses straight" is one of the many reasons I continue to tune into Freeze Frame Radio.  That you would take time out of your day to come to my offices and argue on my behalf to lower my workload in order to post.

Riggs..you rock.  It's that simple.

On my last post I forgot my most favorite 80's show of all,The Wonder Years. I was the same age as Kevin and I had a brother Waynes age whom I also called Butthead. The thing that got me though was Winnie Cooper she was my dream girl!I even had a teacher like Ben Stein except my teacher was 60 and talked out of the side of his mouth. One day we had to watch a three hour silent movie and if he caught anyone sleeping they would automatically fail his class. Daniel Stern was the Narrator (the other guy next to Joe Pesci in the Home Alone movies). I didn't get to marry Winnie Cooper but I came pretty close....

CP I think All In The Family is perhaps the best show ever. I had watched it as a kid, then it started airing again in syndication at a time that I could watch- I'll bet I have most of them videotaped. I should really bust those out again.

Another great show I was addicted too about a decade ago was Barney Miller. They aired those at 10:30 after the news, and it was brilliant. They hardly EVER left the station- they would take up a philisophical topic and debate different views on it. A laugh here, some whittism there, some wisdom here, some pain there....great tv.

I am sure these exist in many places on cable tv, but I refuse to pay to watch telivsion.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about "Hardcastle and McCormick". What high school age guy didn't want a "Coyote" to drive to school? I now remember having that conversation with a friend. He couldn't wait until "The Coyote" was available because he was going to get one. I told him it was not going to be available, it was just on the show. He said "no, it's gotta be a real car, it's on TV!"

I remember BJ McKay and his best friend Bear.  In fact, my ambition in the late 70s early 80s was to become a truck driver and to have a pet chimp.  Neither happened. 

I liked the Cosby Show, Hart to Hart, Duke's of Hazard, TJ Hooker and Mama's Family. 

My favorite show of all time growing up has to be I Dream of Jeannie which was in the 70s.   I even joined the Air Force and put in for Coco Beach (Patrick AFB) Florida as my first choice.  I never did make it there or find a Jeannie in a bottle.  Oh well, it was just tv. 

 

MUPPETS WERE GREAT!!! THAT GUY AND HIS BOOMERANG FISH!!! THE SWEDISH CHEF!! (SOMECHICK USES AS HER AVITAR!) THAT DYNAMITE GUY!! I STILL HAVE MY ANIMAL MUPPET PUPPET!!!! ALICE COOPER DID "18" with the muppets!! THAT SMOKED. THAT WAS THE BEST VERSION OF THAT SONG, HANDS DOWN! THE MUPPET BAND GOT DOWN FOR THAT SONG!! THE NORMALLY MELLOW JANIS WAS HEAD BANGIN...!!!

I always liked the two old guys in the balcony. They made the show for me.

He had a transformer avatar for the longest time! Where is he too???? I can't believe he is not here booing the Pack and cheering for the Bears! Maybe he did find a cure!
