A lot of people are talking about their favourite current tv shows so now I want to know about your favourite Old Skool tv shows

My faves are:

Gilligan's Island
Brady Bunch (showing my age here :blink: )
Get Smart

I must be getting old as I cant remember any others....

Does anyone remember 'Good Times'...Kid Dynamiiiite he he he :lol:

As a kid I really loved the Banana Splits'...those were some really crazy catz on skates!!!

Or 'the Magic Roundabout' I think it was called with Dougle the dog...now that was some tripped out sh*t....Growing up in the 70's had its advantages ;) Same with HR Puffenstuff

Oh, and the Goodies....for absolute stupidities sake - loved it when I was a kid, but it seems quite racist watching it now for some reason....
Different Strokes, Welcome Back Kotter, The Facts of Life...now this is just going too far ha ha ha :lol:

Drama - cannot go past Prisoner...aaaaah, bloody hell Bea (said in Lizzies Birdsworth emphysematic croak) :P
