I use to love The Magic Garden with Carol and Paula and the Chuckle Patch. I was thrilled when I found it on Youtube. I think this show was on late 1970's.

I've never heard of that one. I loved Bewitched. I wanted to be her! -
Roadrunner cartoons. -
Batman with Adam West
-
Looney Tunes -
I had so many...Thundercats, Gem, Chip and Dale, Alvin and the Chipmunks, all Looney Tunes. And this are just a few of my favorites.
As for actual sitcoms, Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Carol Burnett Show, Laughin....man I miss the good old days (even though I was born when many of these shows were recorded...lol) -
I enjoyed Care Bears and Smurfs -
Rockford Files
I Dream of Jeannie
Spiderman
Bob Newhart Show
The Munsters
Gilligan's Island
Batman
Addams Family
Get Smart
etc etc // for the sitcoms.
I didn't like shows like Bonanza, Gunsmoke and other western shows but, I enjoy watching all of that now on the Lonestar Channel these days. -
The Greatest American Hero...my mom made the costume from scratch for Halloween back in the early 80's...I was the only kid in town with that costume...-
Dude!!! That's awesome!!

This is fun--always a real challenge for me, trying to fit my old curmudgeon demeanor into these pop culture discussions. There wasn't any TV when I was a kid. I grew up with Bob Hope and Red Skeleton on radio. My first car (high school, World War II, 1941-1944), was a 1930 Model A Ford that I had to hand crank to get started. Milk was delivered to my house in a horse-drawn wagon. We kids had to regularly shovel horse dung out of the way in order to play tennis in the street.
Oh, well, it's always fun trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.-
That's cool though my gram was always telling me about Dick Tracy and General Hospital started on the radio. -
The good old days seem much better than now. All the kids want to do these days is play video games. I go out in the summer and look around wondering where are all the kids?

I also enjoyed Electric company. I liked when they had the profile of the people and one would say half the word and the other would say the other. I miss my youth!

There was this other show, and for the life of me I can't remember it. The good guy had a cursor (or something) for a friend, and it would create anything he needed, like a super fast car or a helicopter... blech.
Oh, also, anyone remember the Starman TV show? That was awesome.
Magic Garden and The Chuckle Patch was awesome, btw.-
That was Automan who had cursor ;-)
-
holy crap. you KNOW we'd get along in person... sheesh.
-
Do you remember when Johnnie Depp was all over 21 Jump Street?
-
Too Funny. My daughter was talking the other day about how all the girls in her school had a crush on johnny depp. I told her sure we all did when i was a kid too. Boy was she in shock when she heard he was the same age as her grandpa!
-
hahahaha!!! Now that is the funniest thing I heard today!!
Yea I dont think the younger kids realise how long Johnnie Depp has been acting for. He's a great actor and he has come along way since 21 Jump St. Is he still being featured in those teen magazines? lol if he is.

My favourite show was a badly dubbed Japanese show called Monkey. It was about a Bhuddist monk taking the Bhuddism to China with the help of three gods, Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy.-
I remember that!!...Monkey Magic!!!...and the flying cloud they all flew on...lol. Remember when Monkey would do his thing with his fingers to call the cloud!!
-
Oh yeah that was the best bit and when he did something bad the monk would tighten the band round his head.
-
HAHAHA!!! yea that was hilarious!!! I remember laughing my way through that show.
-
best bit was the theme music! and that voice intro at the beginning of each episode
