The Ed Sullivan post and The Cowboys and Outlaws show at Lighthouse took me back to what we watched way back then in the old black and white days.
Maggie Muggins, Gene Autry, Sky King, Roy Rogers, Big Al, The Pappy Show,Lotsof great cartoons, Rescue 8,Julliette, Tommy Hunter, Red Skelton,Don Messer, Pig and Whistle, Polka Time, Gillette's Friday Night Boxing, Hockey Night in Canada with the original 6, Howdy Doodie,Queen For a Day , Seahunt, to name a few.

MacGyver, Magnum P.I., Love Boat, Six Million Dollar Man, I Dream Of Jeannie
Little House on The Prairie

No one can forget good old JR Ewing, on Dallas.

As a young child I loved Lassie, the cowboy shows with Gene Autry and later on in my years, was glued to Dynasty. (Remember those shoulder pads??!!)

We just had a radio when i was kid and there was good programs on for the times

Our first tv was purchased in 1957 ish, a blonde cabinet black and white Philco I believe. Once in a while, we'd go to the Lindsay home at the corner of King and George Streets in Simcoe to watch 'something special' before we had our own. I dont' recall the programme, but I do remember a very crowded room with lots of people! A colour tv came along about 1972.

I turned on the T.V. and there was the littlest hobo.Hockey night in Canada when there was only 6 teams! Another good one was Marcus Welby M.D.Of course leave it to Beaver. Good ole westerns like Bonanza and Gunsmoke

The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, The Sonny and Cher Show, The Carol Burnett Show, I Dream of Jeannie. I"m sure I'll think of more....

Bewitched....Quantam leap....the best cartoon was Johnny Quest...Lost in Space...

Remember Mork and Mindy?? Greatest American Hero?? The facts of Life?? and who can forget Arnold, What you talkin about Willis? Different Strokes!
Love it

All you youngsters, Cid Ceasar, Uncle Milty, Joey Bishop, Imogene Coca! Bob Hope specials. Even Dick Van Dyke.

Jaime Sommers, The Bionic Woman was my hero!

Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Gilligans Island and Little House on the Prairie just to name a few

Well, there was The Hit Parade, Dick Clark's BandStand, Perry Como's Variety Hour, The Andy Williams Show.......The ones that come to mind all seem to have been music!!

Dean Martin show, remember their Christmas special, Andy Williams,those of you who have GSN all the old games from 30+ years ago,Andy Girffith,and remember in the old shows they had only single beds

Nobody's mentioned Howdy Dowdy or Maggie Muggins. I remember them vaguely. And in the cartoon characters there was Betty Boop. I spent years looking for a girl like her.

I remember I think it was Phienus T.Bluster from Howdy Doody, Oh and they were puppets kind of like Team America only different.
I just remembered Razzle Dazzle, The Donna Reed Show, Leave It To Beaver, My Three Sons. Another must watch was any of The Walt Disney Shows, including The Mousketeers with-ANNETTE! The George Burns Show, The Gale Storm Show, The Bob Cummings Show-where his houskeeper Schultzy reappeared later as the housekeeper on the Brady Bunch.

the Patty Duke show, she was a teenager when she played the part and now she's in her 60's.The Waltons, John boy was young, wow how time flies.Matlock,Parry Mason,Man from UNCLE

girl from uncle, wackest ship in the navy, time tunnel, filipper, family affair,the prisoner, doctor who, my mother the car, my favorite martian

Batman, Gunsmoke, Bananza, The Munsters. Cartoons, Bugs Bunny, Underdog, Snagglepuss, Top Cat, Yogi Bear, Mighty Mouse, Popeye, Bullwinkle etc..

Ding Dong School with Miss Frances, Mickey Mouse Club (loved all those stories with Annette in them), American Band Stand, Club 11, and what would Sunday be without Tiny Talent Time!! Saturday at 5 the Bugs Bunny Show and the Soupy Sales Show. My Mom watched Bishop Sheen every week too. Dinah Shore Show was always good too, "See the USA in a Chevrolet" then the she'd blow a kiss out to us all at the end of each show. Friday night was the Twilight Zone.

I vaguely remember a kids show out of CKCO Kitchener with a big old portly guy dressed in cowboy gear....hat and all. it was on at mid day, as I recall and also.... I think a kids talent show. He called himself "Uncle......? somebody or other....With some title variation of ranch or coral. That's all i know and it goes way back. Anyone recall the show? I'll go crazy trying to remember this one.

Wasn't his name "Big Al" and it was Big Al's Ranch Party or something like that? I remember going to see him at the Civic Center in Brantford when I was only about 4 years old. He was so big I just cried I was so scared of him

LOL man I feel something younge in this crowd ... I watched Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, Pink Panther, The Flintstones... to name a few and those were "old" when I was watching them back in the 80's as a kid, and the funny thing now is that my son (almost 3) isn't interested in what passes for cartoons nowadays. He would rather watch what I watched. Good thing for Teletoon Retro
