Onceuponatime Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am sick unto death of Gilligan's Island. My boys love it and watch it over and over. We need some variety. Can you give me ideas for other old television series on dvd that boys will like? They are 7 and 12. I'm already thinking of f-troop. What else? This is for Christmas gifts.

creekland Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you only want one, Hogan's Heroes would get my vote. My guys loved it. Otherwise, they liked most of those listed already on this thread (Beverly Hillbillies, MacGyver, A-Team, Andy Griffith, Incredible Hulk, & even the Brady Bunch).

eternalknot Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My nephews like Bonanza. They and my kids all like Rifleman. All the kids watch Quantum Leap with my BIL, but I don't know that all families would find all/many/some of the topics covered to be appropriate for younger kids. And everyone in the house is a fan of Tom & Jerry LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Round the Twist is a very silly series about a family who live in a remote australian lighthouse. Maid Marian and her Merry Men is great too. Ideal from about 6-14 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Is MacGuyver kid friendly? I can only remember a couple of episodes. We watched a couple of episodes recently and it had more male/female relationships and innuendo than I remembered. Some of it made me a bit uncomfortable watching with DS 8.

Cammie Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Is MacGuyver kid friendly? I can only remember a couple of episodes. As a matter of fact we have been watching Macguyver episodes this week! So far kid friendly. One pretty girl in each episode. Lots of things blowing up but MacGuyver always took pains not to hurt people. We have been enjoying it. My ds (6) thinks he is a genius! The technology is fun to laugh at from the perspective of 2011 (as are the fashions!) We are thinking of getting Brady Bunch and Happy Days.

twoxcell Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 My 8 year old ds loves Little House on the Prairie.

ChemMommy Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I love Lucy is the major hit of all time here. Highly recommended Beverly Hillbillies was a hit. Hogan's Heroes. With two boys, I'd consider the Six Million Dollar Man. Someone asked about MASH. Not kid friendly at all! Lots of making out and strong innuendos about s$x.

speedmom4 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Cosbys, MacGyver, Munsters, Andy Griffith, and Little House on the Prairie. My kids have enjoyed those shows a lot. Current shows that my kids love are Myth Busters, Dirty Jobs, and Cake Boss. Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
