How many shows from the 70's have you watched?


The Odd Couple, Little House On The Prairie, Happy Days and Diff'rent Strokes are those I watch fairly regularly. I've also seen a few episodes of Three's Company (although it didn't really do it for me) and What's Happening!!, as well as the pilot episode of The Partridge Family.

So in total... 7. There are so many classics I yet have to watch.

I also have some 1960s series that continued into the 1970s, plus TV movies and TV specials. I can provide a list of the TV movies/TV specials if desired.

Plus, there are 1970s series for which I've seen various episodes, but don't have them on DVD, such as How Do You Like Your Eggs? (1977) and Split Second (1972). Then there are series for which I have some of the episodes on DVD, but not all, such as Match Game 73 (1973) and Blankety Blanks (1977).

From 1975-1979 these are some of the shows we'd watch but not as a family. My dad didn't watch TV except Baa Baa Black Sheep and I always hoped he'd forget because Eight is Enough was on at the same time. My mother worked nights, so she was never around.

Monday
Little House

Tuesday
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
Three's Company

Wednesday
Eight is Enough
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Grizzly Adams
Charlie's Angels

Saturday
The Love Boat
SNL

Sunday
Alice
One Day at a Time

Do The Monkeys and American Bandstand fit in the 1970's ?

reply

American Bandstand definitely was making new shows in the 70's.
I think it spans the 50's-80's

I can't even count them, I was a kid then so I watched tons of tv shows.

San Pedro Beach Bums - I think I watched the pilot and then never watched it again
Logans Run- Oh hell yes. saw the movie in a theater and then watched the series. I barely remember it though, compared to most Star Trek episodes which I remember vividly.
When Things Were Rotten- OMG yes! What an unusual show, a comedy Robin Hood. I loved it.
Holmes and YoYo - this one I have never even heard of!

I thought of another one... Wild Wild West
not sure if that is 60's or 70's but I might have been watching Syndicated reruns.
And add Speed Racer to Saturday mornings
