30. Best drama of the 70's! Hands down...
Extremely well-written. That show, as few others could, really transported you back to the 1930's.:thumbsup:

42. I really appreciate your post.
I've been at work this weekend and can get lost with the time when wanting to follow-up here at DU.

Indeed, it really made one feel transported back in time.

10. I was too young to get Newhart back then
But I loved him in reruns a few years later. As a kid, Newhart and Alice both came on after my bedtime. I was so curious what my parents were laughing at.

15. It's amazing...
How the bionic man and woman had all these amazing mechanical limbs, but covered with their own skin, rather than rubber prosthesis crap, and even after their horrible accidents, there was no scarring!

18. Couldn't possibly include them all..
Besides, Happy Days bled into the 80's and got awful after the Fonz jumped the shark and moved in with that Poltergeist kid.

As for MASH, I was too young to appreciate it then...

There are a ton of things I left out...

27. That and All in the Family are now available on OnDemand
I believe every episode is on there. I know that the complete Partridge Family is on there-my wife was watching it a few weeks ago.

28. Only three networks back then
so the talent was as spread out and diluted as it is now. You had to have some real talent to get on or write for TV back then (writing is the key you know) now it is like anyone can get a show somewhere.

29. SNL,WKRP, Carol Burnett, and (of course) Battle of the Network All-Stars
ESPN Classic has a show called "The Cheap Seats" with those two twin comedians guys and they RAG on bad 70's TV sports-their take on Keith Jackson covering Mexican cliff divers is hilarious.

34. It was a mini-series, but Roots was historic.
I was in college, and we didn't pay attention to anything but good parties. BUT, we were all GLUED to the TV to watch Roots. There really had never been anything like it before.

37. I watched "The Brady Bunch" and "The Partridge Family"
"Medical Center" was also a favorite, and of course I watched "Room 222" and "Marcus Welby, M.D."

But frankly, the shows that have staying power and are still interesting to watch today are ensemble comedies such as "Barney Miller," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "WKRP in Cincinnati," "The Bob Newhart Show," and the like.

41. Family. Sada Thompson and James Broderick.
I loved that show, till the last season, when the entire family became too angst ridden, and the characters(mostly the three kids) turned into caricatures.
