WEll, hell...nobody asked about game shows.. I agree with you tho, there aint no game shows like the classic game shows..not even close...I love the Game Show network.. Joker's Wild Family Feud (dawson of course)(ooh, that reminds me, how could I leave Hogans Heroes off of my list??) Press Your Luck Original Newlywed Show Price is Right Password Match Game PM(good call RM) revisions to my original list... Fall Guy Hogans Heroes WKRP A-Team Battlestar Galactica Buck Rogers
Yeah. I loved Wheel of Fortune as well when you had to spend your winnings in the "store" (what I called it, not what they called it, I don't think). Good stuff.
Regarding great old school game shows, there was Press Your Luck... and then there was everyone else. Richard Dawson's Family Feud and the many incarnations of Match Game rank second and third, respectively. (The Pyramid games rank fourth...)
1. Knight Rider (KITT was the coolest) 2. St. Elsewhere (one of the Dr. on this show did the voice for KITT also) 3. Unsolved Mysteries 4. McGyver (please, no Selma and Patti jokes) 5. Leave it to Beaver (the old B&W show, not the porno version) 6: Thress Company (did anyone catch the episode where Jack and Mr. Roper had a misunderstanding? )

Jake and the Fatman The Tonight Show (Johnny Carson) The Jack Parr Show The Red Skeleton Show Laugh In The Rifleman Daniel Boone Gunsmoke The Steve Allen Show The Ed Sullivan Show The Jack Benny Show Charlie's Angels The Dick Van Dyke Show Mary Tyler Moore The Partridge Family Leave it to Beaver The Magician Time Tunnel My Favorite Martian Get Smart All in the Family Flip Wilson Sanford and Son Batman Wild Wild West The Munsters Any of the Bob Newhart shows Route 66... ...to name a few A great website with just about everything old school: http://www.tvparty.com/tvparty.html
That cermic dalmation was an icon. I've seen people start off by buying the dog. Cheers Beverly Hillbillies Little Rascals Three Stooges Andy Griffith Show
Geez Finn, Im ashamed of myself.. how could I forget 3 Stooges Laugh In Get Smart WWW and My Favorite Martian thanks for reminding me.. and under game shows...Lets Make A Deal
Carol Burnett- loved it when they started laughing during skits. Bizarre- anyone remember this one? Super Dave Osbourne! The Benny Hill Show- funny as hell with occasional nudity. Monty Python- I always thought the show was funnier than the movies. WKRP-EVERY character was funny in their own way. Three's Company- Lana was hot, why didn't Jack hit that?
I also loved Get Smart. Is that the show where the guy just stood up there and sang the theme to St. Elmo's Fire every week? "Gonna be a man in motion...all I need is a pair of wheels..."
