Carol Burnett.

I don't know if she had a show in the '80's or '90's, or if I was watching reruns, but I use to love Carol Burnett. My mother would not let me watch it unless my room was clean.

Bewitched. It comes on at 6am to 7am every morning and I actually look forward to it! Wonder Woman is a close second.

Love most of the science fiction shows - Star Trek, Lost In Space, Time Tunnel, Twilight Zone, etc.

It was the swan song of the variety show - but it went out with a bang with the Carol Burnett Show being one of the best ever made.

And a great time for quirky sitcoms - Munsters, Addams Family, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island...

And I must admit - I have seen every episode of the Brady Bunch more than once....

The Carol Burnett Show ran from 1967 - 1978 - but reruns were in syndication for years as "Carol Burnett & Company" and there was also the spin off "Mama's Family" that she did guest appearances on from time to time...

Star Trek
Three's Company

pretty much all I can come up with.

As the 80's drew to a close I fell in love with the comedy/sci-fi series "Red Dwarf". There simply wasn't anything else like it on TV at the time and Series 3, in 1989, hit a comedy sweet spot that didn't let-up until Series 7, in 1997, when the show's producers made changes that didn't fare well.

Gotta give-it-up for the "Boys from the Dwarf", loads of fun, lol.

Lot's of votes for "Bewitched", and you can add me too!

Loved being a kid in the 60's and growing up with my favorite witch, Samantha. Let's go over to the Steven's household for the annual "Thanksgiving Pie Toss", this year featuring lemon meringue!

Betcha I'm the only guy that remembers "The Pruitts of Southampton" starring Phyllis Diller. Back in 1966 it was great to see Phyllis with her own TV show, she always cracked me up.

^ One is reminded of Joe Gage's Sex Files Vol. 2: Uncle Pruitt Taught Me How to Do It.

Indeed Harke the Boeotarch, you have said a mouthful !

Let's have some fun!

I know the reimagined Battlestar Galactica is waay more popular than the 70's original, but I'm a kid of the old school golden age of television and I can't help but show my love for Glen A. Larson's space epic from 1978. Glen Larson was a chip off the old Irwin Allen block. Both men hark back to the "show boating" style of entertainment that could delight every member of the family. Airing in 1978, the original "Battlestar Galactica" featured some of the most famous names of 20th century entertainment making their last appearances on network television.

Gotta give it up for my man Lorne Greene - my favorite Canadian after Bill Shatner. He was the reason the series got all the buzz when I was in college back then. His second in command, actor Terry Carter as Col. Tigh was brilliant - Terry was made for commanding roles, lol. And it sure was great to see Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain of Battlestar Pegasus. Lloyd was another actor from the earliest days of television and I thought I would never see him again, but here he was, still causing trouble, and I loved it.

But John Colicos as Baltar, well the man stole the show!
After all these years John Colicos remains as the best loved Klingon Commander, Kor, from the 1967 episode of Star Trek, "Errand of Mercy". John Colicos was one of the few men that could act the paints off William Shatner and to see these two camera hogs mugg-it-out in one episode was pure fun. Remember when Kor looked at Kirk and said, "Too bad, it would have been glorious!" when the Organians put a stop to the Federation/Klingon Battle in Space? Fuckin' Awesome !!!

When John Colicos as Baltar was teamed up with Lucifer, voiced by Jonathan Harris - I thought I had gone to Sci-fi heaven! This is just plain wonderful TV fun. These two just rocked and made some of my most favorite scenes from Battlestar Gaiactica.

Here is an extended YouTube clip showing why I still love the original series. When you strip away all the fluff, what's left is an intergalactic chess match of a battle, with move and countermove played out on a vast scale. This clip, thank you "Nemesis the warlock", pairs scenes that highlight the "back and forth" responses as the humans stay a step ahead of the cylons.
Seriously, doesn't Baltar look adorable in his battle gear? LOL!
