OK - so the TV talk in a couple of Lounge threads got me to thinking about the TV shows I watched as a kid. Some have stood the test of time well, others I want to go back in time and kick my own preteen ass for having liked them. So which shows do you look back on and wonder, "What was I thinking?", and which of your childhood faves have withstood the test of time?
My "what the hell was thinking?" list includes (no particular order):
My "what the hell was thinking?" list includes (no particular order):
- Gilligan's Island
- The Brady Bunch
- The Monkees
- Three's Company
- Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley (The first couple of seasons of HD before they disappeared Chuck were good, but the whole Fonzie as a bad ass and water skiing in his jacket killed it)
- Star Trek (original - still must-see for me)
- M*A*S*H* (I can quote whole sections of dialog from some episodes from the Trapper/Henry years)
- Bugs Bunny cartoons (From the '40s and '50s)
- The Odd Couple
- Bonanza (Especially the years before Pernell Roberts left)
- Get Smart
