OT/ Older TV Show You Miss?

[Judy Haffner]

Do you have an older TV show from the past that you use to watch all the
time, and miss seeing? Some of the older ones, like "Sanford & Sons"
they still show on syndicated TV, and are every bit as funny as they
were when on the air live. My hubby prefers watching those shows, over
the newer shows, that are on TV now, and will still laugh his head off.
He thinks there is far too many Reality shows on the channels, and he
refuses to watch any of them.

I always liked the Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, Jackie Gleason Show,
Name That Tune, Roseanne, Friends, Seinfeld show, Home Improvement, ER,
Chicago Hope and Fresh Prince Of Bellaire, and Party Of Five...to name
a few.

My husband was on Name that Tune in 1976. He won, but didn't get the
big money - missed it by one song!

I forgot about The Ed Sullivan Show...that was the show where I first
saw Elvis, and never was the same after that! ;-) I also watched King Of
Queens, and Green Acres.

Some others I remembered later, after I made the original post, were
Luverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple, Three's Company (loved John Ritter
and The Ropers in there, and now all 3 have passed on) Also My So Called
Life with Claire Danes and Birds Of Paradise, that had Seth Green in it,
also First Edition. I think that was the name of it...it was about this
guy getting the newspaper the day before, and knew what was going to
happen before it actually did.

I hated most of those old variety shows, but I did like "Hit Parade" and
"Sing Along with Mitch." For weekly shows I liked the westerns like "Have
Gun Will Travel" "The Rebel" and shows like that. Then "Streets of San
Francisco" and "Mod Squad" took over.

Yep! It was an experience that he'd never do again (too much time spent
waiting to get on stage, not even knowing if he would or not), even
though they asked him to appear again several years later when the show
was revived.

He got a bunch of prizes, including two Schwinn bikes, a Honda CT70
motorcycle, cash, and other things. He actually guessed two songs on
one note only! He was quite impressive. I can't even remember all the

I miss some of the precursors to

A few more I also miss are

It was hilarious preparing for the show. We had all kinds of old sheet
music, and I'd play them on the piano and he'd guess, just like that old
Honeymooners show when Norton was playing the piano for Ralph Kramden,
preparing for a game show. My husband has always had that kind of
memory. He remembers every song he's ever heard and every joke he's
ever heard. I've never seen anything like it.

Carol Burnett was best for sheer comedy, IMO, with her fantastic cast of
players and characters. Remember the dentist (Tim Conway) who
accidentally injected himself with novacaine? I laugh just thinking
about it.

Yeah, that happens. I used to have a great memory, but it has been
slipping the past few years. It's kinda scary and sad, but that's life

I think this is one of these threads where our memories are going to
be triggered as we read what everyone puts down. I also watched the
first three comedies you mentioned (tho now I couldn't sit and watch
them)
A few dramas I really liked was called "Family" with Sada Thompson and
a very young Kristy McNichol. One I really liked was called "A Year in
the Life" with Richard Kiley and a very young Sarah Jessica Parker. I
think that only lasted a few seasons and I was so bummed when it went
off.
I was also a HUGE fan of the old documentary (I think it was
considered the first reality show) called "An American Family" about
the Louds. It followed them thru the parent's marrital troubles,
divorce, the typical stuff teens go thru and the sagas of their gay
son Lance. I was addicted to that one.

"Ed" brings back so many memories for me. I attended
a number of concerts in that big white church they show
in the intro, and one of my alternate routes to work was
through that town. I so wanted to catch one of their

I remember feeling a bit, almost embarrassed, or perhaps more as if I were a
'peeping tom' watching the Louds. It was well before the time of reality
TV, and it was a family 'coming apart at the seams.' I recall a movie
quite awhile ago, IIRC it was called 'Shoot The Moon.' A good movie, almost
too real. Like the first time I saw 'An Unmarried Woman.' Like you, I was
hooked on the Louds, even though I did feel a bit like I was snooping on a
neighbors privacy. IIRC, didn't they do an update some time after the show
had ended?

Again, IIRC, and it's been a long time ago, the Loud family update I was
thinking of was shown shortly after the original. Like maybe the next
season, in the old time spot or something. I seem to recall seeing it by
chance.

Yeah, I was never a big Diane Keaton fan either, but for some reason I did
like that movie. Again, IIRC, I thought one of my favorite Bob Seeger songs
was in that movie, 'Still The Same'. For some reason I relate that song to
the movie.

I loved it too, especially the first number of seasons. I loved the Ruth
Ann character. She was a hoot! I remember her describing her sons to
someone. Her younger son did all these crazy things, she listed off a whole
bunch of *stuff* he did, like hitch-hike across somewhere, join the peace
corps, worked in a village somewhere, etc. The person she was talking to
asked 'what about your other son?" And Ruth Ann says 'oh, he's an
investment banker in NYC' in a voice as if she was 'not too proud' of
*him*. Like he was something to be embarrassed by. I loved the way
everything was 'ass-end backwards' on Northern Exposure. All my kind of
people, my kind of stuff. :-) I didn't know it was on USA. Wish I'd
have seen it again. I saw it the first time around.

I never did watch those two shows you mentioned, but I know Northern
Exposure was a real popular show in it's day. No, I haven't seen the new
Roseanne show..is the name of it "Roseanne's Nuts", or is that you're
comment after watching it? =:-}

Yeah, it was "Rosie's Song" from some movie (can't remember the name),
and it was the only one he missed during the final countdown. Just
broke my heart! He was never good at remembering movie themes,
unfortunately, and he struggled with this one.

No. Kathy Lee came a few years after Dad was on.

On the video of the show, the most heartbreaking moment is when the clock is
ticking down on that last song (he had something like 11 seconds to spare
after he got all the other songs, so he had a LOT of time left!), and
there's a shot of Xan in the audience with her hands clasped under her chin;
she's rocking a little, her face is really distressed...almost tears in her
eyes...and she's mouthing, "Come on Jim..." It makes me a little teary-eyed
every time I watch it. (Samples of the video can be found on my FB page for
anyone who is interested.)

That final song actually had three titles: "It Was a Good Time," "Rosy's
Theme," and the Theme from "Ryan's Daughter." Several years later, when we
were watching Name That Tune one night, that song came up again...and he got
the title wrong AGAIN! (He called it "It Was a Grand Time.")
