NO whammies NO whammies NO whammies.. STOP!

I probably learned more from gameshow trivia questions than school.

 

[Cotton]

Sanford and Son.

Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, and All in the Family were my favorite 3 shows from that era.

 

[data]

True, most of the stuff I remember from the 70s is me discovering it in the 80s or after.

Yup. That’s pretty much the topic. Either from reruns or Blockbuster.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Get Smart

I think I've said this before on here but I wonder why I never see it on in syndication like most of the rest of these. Great, great show.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Also...

Welcome Back, Kotter
Hogan's Heroes (my dad's favorite show)

Two of my all time favorites.

Also, I think the Facts of Life was 80s.

Sometimes I’d turn on TV to TBS or what we hoping for a good rerun and only show on was Beverly Hillbillies. Fuck that shit.

Man named Jed.

Although, now that I think about it, isn’t it kinda the same premise as Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Poor neighborhood folk goes to rich LA and comedy ensues.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Mork and Mindy. Did they ever hook up?

You know they did.

 

[Cotton]

Two of my all time favorites.

Also, I think the Facts of Life was 80s.

Could be. All I know is I watched almost all of these shows in the 80s so it's hard to remember when the shows started.

 

[Genghis Khan]

For game shows (back to the 80s), I watched quite a bit of Bob Barker Price is Right and $25000 Pyramid. Loved Press Your Luck. Family Feud with Ray Combs

I fucking loved game shows.

Richard Dawson Family Feud was the best Family Feud.

Richard Dawson Family Feud was the best Family Feud.

Richard Dawson was just so perfect for that role.

Mork and Mindy? Or you referring to Robin Williams and Pam Dawber?

I recall reading an interview and Pam saying that Robin Williams would jokingly grope her or slap a tittie or something, but Pam didn’t take offense to it and recalled those memories onset fondly, even though todays times that sounds like sexual harassment. Didn’t get the impression that the actors boned, though.

My favorites were What's Happening, Hogan's Heroes, and Welcome Back Kotter.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Speaking of old shows -- this is 60s -- but is anyone else still confused by Batman? I'd never seen that show until my sister and I would go stay with our grandparents for a week in the summer and it was on channel 39. Even as a little kid I thought it was kind of weird, but now I'll watch a few minutes of it on one of the OTA subchannels and it's an absolute trip. Was everyone -- writers, directors, actors -- on acid for that show or what?

mea culpa I’ve never watched any of the Godfathers

it insists upon itself

Mork and Mindy. I didn't know about the other stuff. It was definitely a different time.

 

[Cotton]

My favorites were What's Happening, Hogan's Heroes, and Welcome Back Kotter.

I liked Hogan's Heroes a lot, too. Mainly because my dad never missed an episode.

 

[Cotton]

Was everyone -- writers, directors, actors -- on acid for that show or what?

Most likely, yes.

They’ve brought back some of these game shows and I’ve tried to watch them, but theyre just not as entertaining. Is it because I’ve changed or was it because i was really just watching the host?

Strahan did $25k Pyramid recently. Louie Anderson and Al Borland were horrible on Family Feud. I think Elizabeth Banks did Press Your Luck. Drew Carey not good enough on Price is Right even though he’s a longtimer. They’ve done the Peterman actor from Seinfeld on a bunch of remakes but he’s no good.

I just found out this morning my wife's never watched or heard of Misery.

The scene where she goes off on James Caan about the paper is so damn awesome.

Saints would probably be better off sticking with Taysom today. Use those legs.
