My grandparents would record Disney when they had free weekends.
those early sunday night disney movies like Herbie were legit and then I got to watch a little 007 James Bond before it was bedtime. James always had the hot babes and then I had to go to bed it sucked

We watched a ton of Cubs games. Every day, we got to watch Harey Carey butcher someone's name during the reading of the lineups.
WGN at my grandparents house is why I became a Cubs fan, good times with my cousins at Granny’s house.

The Lawrence Welk Show.
My grandparents watched Sha Na Na. I remember that.
All of the game shows with grandma. Baseball or boxing with pawpaw. My husband now was shocked the first time we watched boxing together and I could speak intelligently on it. All my paw paw's knowledge.

Moms dad worked in a factory all hai life and was super country but was never not watching CNBC. Child of the depression, he invested what little he made in the market and watched it vigilantly.
Dads dad was either watching college football in the Fall or sitting on his back porch with my grandma, drinking a beer and shooting the shite with whoever happened to walk in the door (their neighbors were always over). Grandma didn’t watch anything except wheel of fortune and Jeopardy, otherwise she was reading or doing crossword puzzles. Only times we deviated were when he would babysit my siblings and I some mornings and we would watch Tom and Jerry. This grizzled Army vet would laugh himself to tears watching that cartoon, to the point that we would just watch him instead of the tv.

My grandparents had a farm. They ate a full breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, biscuits and gravy at 5 am every day except for Sunday. They went to bed every night at 9 pm. Every night except Saturday. On Saturday nights they stayed up until 10 pm watching The Lawrence Welk Show.
It was on TV from 1951-1982.
The Lawrence Welk Show - 200 Years Of American Music, Part 1 - 01-17-1976 (on YouTube)
It was the worst TV ever, but lots of old people still watched it in the 70's when I remember watching it with my grandparents. I really remember them staying up "late" to watch it, more than the show. I think people who go to shows at Branson, MO would have liked it.

quote:I remember my parents watching the local news and then the CBS News every week night. If my brothers & I were in the living room (where our one TV was located), and started cutting up, my dad would yell, "Listen!" instead of telling us to shut up.
Parents
He was a big Nixon defender. He would cuss when they started talking about Watergate. Not much different from Archie Bunker. My mom wasn't a dingbat.
Now neither of my parents watch any national news except for Fox and New Nation.
My mom watches enough Fox News to know more about the Democrats than they know about themselves. Apparently all they do is talk about what the Democrats are doing. If I eat dinner with them, that's all she talks about.
I enjoyed watching The Three Stooges with my dad. He would laugh like a kid.

Grandpa watched sports.
Grandma watched Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest.
They both watched Hee Haw and the Evening News.
I also remember they subscribed to TV guide and were very picky about it. You weren't allowed to move the TV guide or mess with the bookmarks, etc. My family never got TV Guide. We just got up and flipped the dials to find out what was on.

My grandparents watched CNBC all the time to check on their stocks. They also watched golf religiously and we watched the Braves on TBS every time I visited in the summer.
