I loved Johnny Carson...but one thing that bothered me was he never had Cheech Marin (one of the smartest guys in hollywood) on his show but he had george carlin on many times...
What TV did you watch as a kid?
- Thread starter WVH1977
- Start date
Mary Tyler Moore was portrayed as an innocent next door neighbor girl. Except for one time...

Maybe Cheech didn't want to fly to NYC? By the time TTS moved to California in '72, I was away from home, working long hours, and didn't have time for it. I liked the NYC vibe when it was aimed at a more sophisticated audience.

Speaking of kids and TV...IMO...the funniest show on TV these days is 'Young Sheldon'...it's a spin off of BBT...
IMO Annie Pots owns the show she is hilarious...(and smokin hot!!)
The writing is excellent and the timing delivery of the entire cast is great...
Personally I think George, Georgie and Missy are extremely funny as are the teachers and librarian...
You have to listen close as the dialog is wickedly funny at times...!

Every now and then I can't seem to get to sleep after waking up. I have my ipad tablet next to the bed, so I prop it up and connect to my over the air antenna and tune in to old TV shows... Andy Griffin, Donna Reed, Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, Leave it to Beaver, Dragnet, etc. etc. .... they put me right to sleep. I connect to the antenna so I don't pull internet data $ while I sleep.

How many are familiar with Sid and Marty Krofft? They produced some of the craziest kid's programming starting during the late 60's and continuing all the way up to 2016. They are Canadian brothers and still around at 93 and 85 years old. They had to have been on drugs to come up with some the ideas they had LOL. Some of the early shows I remember are:

I remember when we (mom and dad) got our first color TV. Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, Sky King and later American Bandstand and nearly all cartoons were still black & white. In the evening, we looked for shows in TV Guide or the newspaper listings that had a star next to the listing. The star indicated the program was in color. One of my favorites was the FBI. There were maybe only 3-4 programs in the evening of all three networks in color. Local and national news was still black & white.
