Since we have no sports to talk about, what was your favorite TV show growing up? Mine, Six Million Dollar Man. The Steve Austin/Sasquatch battles were epic.
Best TV Show Growing Up

Hearing some of these is telling of age. I can’t wait to hear Leave it to Beaver or Beverly Hillbillies LOL. I think of Starsky and Hutch, Three’s Company, Chips, Emergency.

As a teen: Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, Martin (not much TV watching)
As an adult: Entourage, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Shameless, Ray Donovan, Hart of Dixie (sue me), Schitts Creek, The Carmichael Show

Cheers was my favorite show. Family Ties was right before it and Night Court right after, all great shows on Thursday night
Hill Street Blues made me want to be a Cop.
All in the Family is funnier watching it now then back when it aired because then the stuff said wasn’t as shocking as it is now....if that show and The Jefferson’s aired now people would have a heart attack, but then it was no big deal!

Laurel and Hardy
The Three stooges
Our Gang (w/spanky, alfalfa and buckwheat)
The Bowery Boys
Dragnet
Mickey Mouse Club
When comedians were actually funny without using vulgarities.
Can you tell my age?

Happy Day, Laverne and Shirley, Threes Company and Taxi.

Honeymooners
This Week In Baseball
Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell
Candid Camera
Watching Westerns my dad had on.
Notre Dame football (under Ara Parseghian) - I guess not a tv show but a family tradition to watch all those games.

Loved "This Week In Baseball" or TWIB with the "TWIB Notes," as they called it with Mel Allen. "How 'bout that?"
