Shatner gave off a creepy America's Most Wanted vibe.

Watching Nick at Nite, shows like Happy Days, the Andy Griffth SHow, Brady Bunch, and adams family. Nickeleodeon in the early 90s. Legends of the hidden temple, guts, wild and crazy kids, hey dude, salute your shorts, pete and pete, are you afraid of the dark

When I was younger on PBS - reading rainbow, thomas the engine, sesame street, mr. rogers, fraggle rock, eurekas castle .... good times

The Incredible Hulk back in the early 80s with Bill Bixby (the guy from Carson's avatar). Specifically the episode where Hulk fights the bad purple hulk.

Yep. Used to watch every night till 11:00 when they started showing infomercials, then I would fall asleep.

They also used to show the Patty Duke show, Dobie Gillis, and F Troop.

Captain Kangaroo at about 4.That and footage of Vietnam on Walter Kronkite


I'm right there with you. Watched Captain Kangaroo every morning. Back then everyone watched the CBS Evening News. During Vietnam they had live reports every night from guys like Morley Safer & Richard Threlkeld "in the bush" and they gave a kill count. You didn't talk during the news at our house back then. My dad telling us to listen instead of just saying shut up during the news is probably one of my first memories.

Also loved watching Red Skelton's Show and Lucy. The Lucy showsthat were new when I was a kid were the ones where she worked for Mr. Mooney.

The very first episode of Lost In Space was the first show I saw in color. Our neighbors got a color TV and five or six whole families went down and watched that show together that night. Must have been 1965. We still didn't have a color TV in 1969 when Neal Armstrong walked on the Moon.

and no BlueRay, DVD or even VCR's. You watched whatever CBS, NBC & ABC put on the air, "and you liked it."

Nope. It was in black and white. Didn't have color episodes until Season 2.
