My English teacher in 1977 made us select one of the new TV shows and write a review on it. I picked THE LOVE BOAT and predicted it would not catch on….Obviously, I was wrong!

RIP to those who watched these shows, for it induced Depression and self destruction.

Never ever heard of most of these shows....and I was a junior in HS at the time.

Rafferty. Rafferty. Rafferty. OK ALREADY!!! We know it's called Rafferty!!!!

Never watched a single episode of Lou Grant.

Carter Country was a pretty suckky show.

Redd Foxx was amazing in Sanford and Son, and he was a truly great stand up comic. But alas, not everyone is cut out to host a variety show. Carol Burnett never starred in a sitcom or was well known as a stand up, but she mastered the variety show genre.

Good call! I'm a 70's/80's kid and I watched a ton of TV, but I remember NONE of these shows.

Makin' It!

Norman Lear is the Lebron James of television. Yeah he was great and had a few championship shows - but he also had some absolute stinkers that just leaving you shaking your head they are so terrible !!! Even for the 70's

"Small and Frye" was just an early version of "Ant-Man".

For a while; the Sci-Fi Channel played many of these classics.

The only one I remember is Hot L Baltimore .

Man In A Suitcase.

These shows were available in a parallel dimension. Pretty sure not a single one of them were shown here on this earth.

Someone really thought "Sanford and Son" without Sanford and Son was actually going to be a good show?

NBC must've ruled Saturdays during this season.

That's play acting folks. Yeah.

It seems like every video I watch for one of these years of TV has a new Dabney Coleman show in it. RIP.

TV shows back then were so much more fun to see then what is on today.

I'd have been 3 at the time of BATMAN'S premiere, but since I remember the openings of THE VIRGINIAN and DANIEL BOONE from later in their runs, I'm fairly sure my parents watched those rather than BATMAN.

Today they make the mistake of showing Secret Agent without the signature Johnny Rivers hit theme. I suspect many fans neglect reruns of this acclaimed series because of the absence of that dynamite trademark intro.

i have to smile, the intro of The Sentimental Agent has a narrow street with a lot of bridges going over it, i have been on that street in my time :)

Looking at that lineup, if I was a young man in 1962 I would have been going out every night

I remember none of these shows.

Loved all them shows back then nothing like this crap that’s on TV nowadays never even watch it. Thanks for showing the great memories.

C’mon Hello Larry was great.

What was that Sanford Arms nonsense 😂

Here come the brides was a great show should have lasted longer

I remember some of these shows being watch by my family

It was a great year for shows that existed only in somebody's mind. Bring 'Em Back Alive looks like it should have been made 20 years earlier.

I don't remember a single one of those shows. Which is probably a good thing.

Repent Now. This is what they watch in Hell.

Imagine being the guy tasked with writing the Hello, Larry theme.

It sucks that KITT had automatic transmission.

I was in the streets after high school and STRAIGHT TO THE US NAVY......I COMPLETELY missed ALL OF THIS.

Guys Like Us was created by Dan Schenider? 😮 No thanks 😢

Horrendous vomit tossed out between commercials.

I was 5 and remember a lot of them. I especially liked Follow the Sun

My god the theme songs. We were deep in the center of the 1990s here.

Family man is a weird vibe. He’s so good to stay with his family and do the right thing. I’m sure his wife feels stuck sometimes too. 😂😂

CBS's animated "The Alvin Show" -- without a doubt -- had the lengthiest main title, over a minute and a half; 94 seconds to be exact. . . . Repeats airing in primetime, customarily, home of original programming: "Father Knows Best" was still running on CBS two years after the Anderson family filmed and aired their last original, spring of '60. Robert Young did not repeat his stellar success on radio and television with "FKB" when he launched "Window on Main Street" that exited after a solo season. He made up for the misfire at decade's end with his monster hit, "Marcus Welby, M.D." ['69 - '76], debuting. Also on CBS -- while its perennial western "Gunsmoke" expanded to an hour format this season the network repeated select half-hours from '55 - '61, slapping a new title, "Marshal Dillon" on the prints. . . . . We see cigarette advertising that would remain a mainstay and financial bonanza for the networks until the federal government banned cigarette advertising on television starting in 1971. "Thank you, 'RwDt09,' for assembling this nostalgia fest -- 'a REALLY good show' -- as Ed Sullivan was known for saying on his variety hour."

I love how the rip off cliche sitcom used poor man’s Randy Newman to record their theme song

Too bad they can't put these on DVD or have Tubi or Shout TV show them

Back when we had real entertainment ❤

why are most of the comments are just people yapping and arguing about their fanmade tv channels and things that are not even true, like the hell?

The helicopter pilots sure were gainfully employed in 1979.

72 rocked. Jesus...

The Phoenix! Judson Scott. I ran into him at some sci-fi convention and got his autograph decades ago. He was in the Star Trek movie Wrath of Khan. But he doesn’t get any credit because supposedly his agent got into some kind of fight with the producers about money so the people running the Star Trek production purposefully didn’t give Judson any credit even though he played a major character on Khan’s ship.

McCloud, night gallery, the partridge family, the odd couple, Monday Night Football, are the ones I remember. But more from syndication. I was 4 in 1970. :)
