Old-School "Must See" TV

Think back to when you were a kid & pre-teen.  What show(s) could you not miss?

For me it was The Muppet Show. If I didn't see my Muppets, I just wasn't right for the week.  LOL 

Keep in mind this was before the VCR, so if I wasn't near a TV 10 minutes before show time, I would act a plum fool.  Don't mess with My Muppets! LOL

Scooby-Doo was another one of my favs.  I loved trying to solve the mysteries.

    Funny you bring up the muppets...

    Back in 1981, The Muppet Show would air twice a day on the weekdays on the local CBS affiliate plus it would air daily on WGN on cable! I had a triple helping everyday. Afterwards (I'm a bit embarrassed to type this) Sha Na Na would come on and me and my sis would be in front of the TV.

    Later on, the unedited, non-PC Sanford and Son would come on at 10:30 pm followed by The Benny Hill Show at eleven.

    I watched Sha Na Na too! LOL

    Let me say I hated Benny Hill (lol), but would sneak & watch "Prisoner: Cell Block H" (came on right before or after Benny).

    We also loved the 3 Stooges but my granny refused to let us watch. She said we were already silly enough! LOL

    Now that I'm a middle-aged man, I think I can appreciate Prisoner: Cell Block H now. Hee hee...

    The Three Stooges were hilarious, but I used to get mad at Moe; who did he think he was???

    How about The ABC After School Special? One that really sticks out was the one where they depicted live childbirth *lrrrrrg*

    I was a Muppet fan too! It would come on about 6am in Chicago on weekdays, and you know that's dedication being a kid to wake up THAT early for anything! Right after, the Bozo Show would come on. I loved me some Bozo, Whizzo, Cookie, Cuddly Duddly, and the gang...and can't forget Bozo buckets. I used to PRAY to be on the Bozo Show to compete for that brand new 50 DOLLAR BILL...OOOHHH! LOL! Moni, you bringing back some memories girl!

    Those shows to me represented simpler times. Nowadays kids tv is just a load of crap!

    I loved Jem & the Holograms too! ♫ *Jem is my name no one else is the same, Jem is my NAME...JEM!!!*♫
