[Jacob_Marley]

Well ... from my youth, anyway ...

In the Detroit Market in the early 1970's ... the late-night horror movie and comedy show ...

The Ghoul Show

"Plunk your Magic Twanger! ... Overday!"

 

[hatedheretic]

I always liked the "Sid & Marty Croft" shows. H.R. Puffinstuff, Sigmund & the Seamonster and the like.

 

[JeffoC6]

Perfect Strangers, hands down

 

[TxBrew]

Xmen. Loved that show. Watching it on Netflix isn't the same.

[JohnnyO]

Justice League. The 1960s Batman show.

Alf. Seriously.

 

[user 157712]

Miami Vice. Probably not something I shoulda watched as a kid. I was psyched to watch that show now almost 30 years later on netflix and now it just seems so cheesy...but I still love it. The music, the materialistic excess, etc...man I love the 80's.

that one was fun.

The coolest thing about airwolf was that he could fly that helicopter from the US to Russia, rescue a hostage, and be back in like 6 hours. All in a days work. :rockin:

I also liked You Can't do that on Television, Hey Dude, & Salute your Shorts.

I watched old Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry cartoons. Anything post 1955 or so sucked balls.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Love the really old looney toons. One of the Roku channels has some super racist Merrie Melodies and they're gold.

 

[BreezyBrew]

Man I just can't get enough of those racist cartoons!
