How could I have forgotten the Waltons. Thursday nights @ 7pm Central time was practically sacred, I mean even the phone came off the hook for that hour.

I still wish one of these cable stations would run the old Warner Brothers shows in place of Little House on the Prairie, I think the Nostalgia Network did, but I couldn't get them anyway. We only had one TV set in the house. My brother, sister and I had program priviliges, but never really had anything at the time we watched steadily on its first run. Bewitched, was a definate, some Outer Limits, and we didn't get CBS until Daddy bought the UHF converter in 1965. We saw Life Of Riley reruns and Amos N Andy until about early '65. I have a Shelley Fabares CD with a wild number done by Paul and Shelley called What Did They Do Before Rock and Roll? And did anyone beside me buy the colorized first season of Bewitched? Endora IS scary!

[63getelevision]

I love Dark Shadows especially Julia Hoffman! Grayson Hall is one of my top five actresses. I loved Mary Hartman-etc, and most of Soap.

 

[frigilux]

Maytagmom---I loved Mary Hartman, too. I've been waiting for one of the young moderns in the family to pipe up with "Dawson's Creek" or something and THEN we'll all feel old together, LOL.

 

[goprog]

Dawson's Creek

Yup, vintage is relative.

Let's not forget Medical Center with a very young Chad Everett as Dr. Joe Gannon.

Mary Hartman

OMG!! We had Mary Hartman parties (sorta like the Dynasty parties) when I was in college. We all took turns hosting at our dorms, apartments, etc. It was HYSTERICAL. Does anyone remember Loretta's (Mary Kay Place) recipe for black bottom pie? She combined all the ingredients and baked it in an oven at 500 degrees for 2 hours. We all were rolling on the floor! Then there was the one where Loretta & Charlie went on the road to promote Loretta's career as a country singer and they wrecked their Chevy Vega. Here's the opener.

 

[rexaircollector]

In addition to all

the classics everyone mentioned, which are all some of my favorites. I had another that was more contemporary in comparison but nevertheless, a classic in its' own right. Least us not forget the ever talented Christopher Hewett as Mr. Belvedere.

Robb

 

[washabear]

Charlie's Angels.

Your right. Medical Center was one of my favorite shows! I forgot all about that one. In the 70's, my two favorite medical dramas were Medical Center and Marcus Welby M. D. I always thought Chad Everett was sooo cute. Another medical drama I forgot to list was Trapper John M. D. Remember that one? At the top of my list is Knots Landing, the Dallas spin-off. I'm surprised more people didn't list it. The show was extremely popular and had a huge following.

 

[63getelevision]

Love Mary Hartman, I have the Mary Kay Place album, Loretta Hagers(?)live at the Capri Lounge. Hated that she(Loretta) killed her career when she made the comment on the talk show about who controls Hollywood. I thoroughly loved Mr. Belvedere. And there was another show that had a white haired British butler-what was the show and who was he?

 

[cleanfresh]

Oh, and how could I forget

Family Affair with Brian Keith, Mr. French, Buffy, and Jody. Sadly, all three are no longer with us. Brian Keith committed suicide and Anissa Jones who played Buffy died of a drug overdose in 1976. I can't recall how Sebastian Cabot(Mr. French) died.

 

[maggie~hamilton]

Dark Shadows

I had a huge crush on David Selby!

 

[nurdlinger]

white haired British butler-what was the show and who was he

Was this Batman? I can't remember if Alfred the butler was British, but the white hair fits.

 

[cleanfresh]

nurdlinger

Bruce Wayne aka Batman's butler, Alfred, was British.

 

[goprog]

Brian Keith comitted suicide?

Didn't know that. Will have to search on that. I liked him.

(I wouldn't do any searches on Paris Hilton or George Bush
committing suicide, well, maybe GWB to find out if it was
a pretzel or Cheney...)

 

[frigilux]

Cleanfresh----Sebastian Cabot died from a stroke a couple of weeks after Elvis Presley's passing.
