Carrie12345 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Full House, Growing Pains, Family Ties, Mad About You, Seinfeld, Friends, Everybody loves Raymond. (Born in 77) The only sitcoms I really enjoy today are The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, but they're nowhere near Mad About You, imo!

kalanamak Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That 70's Show I would have never believed, in the 70's, that decades later I'd be sitting next to my 80-something mother, listening to her roar with laughter over the stoner scenes in this show. I gave up TV at 12, but remember My Favourite Martian, Green Acres, and the Beverly Hillbillies. Uh, I must be ooooold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUV2EDU Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'll play: MASH, Cheers & Friends ETA: I never watched any from your list from the 90s! I like Cheers and Friends. However, I never could get into MASH. I always thought the beginning theme music was depressing. Then I did a little research and found out why I felt depressed when I heard the theme music. MASH theme song is a suicide song. The name of the theme song is "Suicide Is Painless." MASH (Suicide is Painless) Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see... [chorus]: That suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate without that ever-present hate but now I know that it's too late, and... [Chorus] The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say. [Chorus] The only way to win is cheat And lay it down before I'm beat and to another give my seat for that's the only painless feat. [Chorus] MASH The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but... [Chorus] A brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key 'is it to be or not to be' and I replied 'oh why ask me?' 'Cause suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. ...and you can do the same thing if you choose.

KidsHappen Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have never been a big tv fan but we did get Friends and That 70s Show on DVD and we really liked those. I think my family has watched Friends 5 or 6 times and That 70s Show at least twice. I have watched more TV in the last ten years (since DVDs) than the rest of my life put together. Other ones we have really liked are: Buffy (about 5 times now) Angel (twice) Firefly (twice) Dollhouse (one season so far) Big Joss fan here! Charmed Smallville LOST Rome Tudors Joh Adams I do remember some of the shows from the 70s but none of the ones from the 80s and 90s, except MASH, not really sure about when it came out.

funschooler5 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 70's (I was pretty young then but I still remember these, and they used to re-run them in the 80s too) M*A*S*H Mork & Mindy Happy Days Laverne & Shirley Bob Newhart Rhoda (I actually watched this for the first time when they were showing the reruns on Comedy Central in the 90s) Mary Tyler Moore Show 80's Bosom Buddies Mr. Belvedere (we're watching these again on DVD and they're still funny!) Who's the Boss Moonlighting (not a sitcom, but it was still funny) 90's Seinfeld Roseanne King of Queens Gotta throw in some 50s and 60s shows, as we still watch these and think they're hilarious: I Love Lucy (of course), The Dick Van Dyke Show, Get Smart, and Leave it To Beaver (which is surprisingly funny to me now, funnier now than when I was a kid).

Geo Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I gave up TV at 12, but remember My Favourite Martian, Green Acres, and the Beverly Hillbillies. Uh, I must be ooooold. Are you "ooooold" enough to remember "Mister. Ed" ? (1961-1965) A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed. Go right to the source and ask the horse He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course. Talk to Mister Ed. People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse. You never heard of a talking horse? Well listen to this: "I'm Mister Ed." What about "My Mother The Car"?...although it was awful...even then. (circa 1961) I'm always amazed at how much humor changes over the years...It's quite a living thing. For me, my favorites are more recent. I still quote "Seinfeld" and "Friends" `whenever the situation calls for it. Quite pathetically, I'm sure I'll still be quoting them in years to come...we don't watch television anymore.

Melissa in Australia Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I remember Mr. Ed I loved it as a child. I also remember the Beverly Hillbillies.

Mrs.MacGyver Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 All that I can remember from my really young days (4-9 years old) was that my father and I watched M*A*S*H and the Benny Hill Show together....at the time I thought that those were the only shows on TV:confused: But later in life... I love Seinfeld, Cheers, and the Cosby Show. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
