PrincessMommy Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Speaking of Love Boat. I used to love watching reruns of Love, American Style when I was a kid. I know some of the humor was above my pre-teen self, but I always thought it was a fun show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraha Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 When we started quarentining back in March, we instituted Black and White Wednesday night. We have been watching shows like Andy Griffith, the Real McCoys, Green Acres (not black and white but a spin off from black and white Petticoat Junction), the Addams family, the Beverly Hillbillies etc. We tried the Honeymooners, but no one liked it, it was just Ralph being mean to his wife, everyone yelling and then kissing in the end. We serve up a black and white themed snack to go with. It's been fun and all 8 of us have enjoyed it. All of the shows are on Amazon Prime. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 A funny- I love watching a lot of older shows. My kids often watch and enjoy so many of them. This year it paid off when my kids were playing a trivia game at a group thing. They were the only teens who could identify MASH, Golden Girls, Gilligan’s Island, Andy Griffin and Emergency. And knew the words to a few theme songs. Lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I have been watching the old MacGyver and then the new MacGyver. It has been fascinating to me to see how they have introduced new takes on certain main characters and villains. And to see what is addressed differently. I have done the same with the old Magnum P.I. and the new one. And the old Hawaii 5-0 and the new one. (Though the new one is now done.) It's also been interesting to me to see how issues like immigration, spies, nuclear arms, bioweapons were plotlines back then even as they are now.

Clearly, the Bradies win hands down - at least imo.🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've been enjoying old game shows like Match Game and Hollywood Squares It's kind of fun to go back and see the people from my childhood like: Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Lind, Brett Somers, Gene Rayburn, Nipsey Russell, and Burt Convoy. I don't watch the whole show, but tune it in for a few moments. My husband and I have been enjoyed "Lovejoy" and "Silent Witness" too. Those aren't quite as old as my childhood, but they at least 20 or more years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Murder She Wrote is keeping dh and I busy this summer. Prime has 5 seasons, and they are LONG seasons! It reminds us of when ds was a tot and we'd tuck him in bed & turn on the latest adventure of Jessica Fletcher. Man, those hairstyles and huge glasses crack us up! And I'll admit I'm watching Brady Bunch for kicks, too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
