How about Columbo, McMillan & Wife, and McCloud. I looked forward every Sunday to these shows.

I just googled 70's tv shows, and I'm ashamed to admit that I must have spent that entire decade in front of the television. I think it's entirely possible that I may also have spent the 80's and 90's in the same position.

Note to self: Better get a life before it's too late.

If anyone wants a real dose of flashback, go to TV Tunes Online and reminisce over lyrics to some of your favorite TV shows! :O

Edit to add: PS: Don't hate me when one of those themes gets stuck in your head for the day!

readonly, don't forget the 4th show in that sunday line-up: richard boone as "heck ramsey"...i loved mcmillan and wife and thought alice walker as their maid was very funny.
for a while, there was also a show called 'the cowboys', and i remember that A Martinez was in it at maybe 20 years of age. i was shocked to flip through the tv several years later and see him on a soap! ick!

i loved 'all in the family' and 'saturday night live' (with the earliest cast members, sigh....)

Soap is on my cable Sat. nites at 930pm (I think on Comedy Central)It is still funny, but not as good as I remember the first time around, probably cuz the funny shock value is gone. It is not like Seinfeld or Lucy which I could watch over and over and lol every time!!
SBG..for me, Soap 'jumped the shark' when Burt had those martian encounters.

i have tvland - love to watch soap again. remember the dummy that (i think) billie crystal had. one time they blind folded the dummy and had him guess what items they were holding up. the dumb brother was completly amazed that the dummy kept getting it right. i couldn't stop laughing.

Wasn't there a show called "Cell Block H?" About a women's prison. I think I used to watch it late night after Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I think I'm like readonly...I watched too much TV in the 70's! :)

Read & Tabby,
Mac & Wife is one of my all time favorites and now I love watching reruns on Sunday...btw, I think it was Nancy Walker, Tabby. And, though I really didn't watch it much then, I love when Love Boat is on but it hasn't been for months and months. When I catch Soap, it still cracks me up and nearly pee my britches.

I could never appreciate Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. It seemed so dark and, I have to admit, way over my head. Maybe it was because I was really young when it aired.

Can someone explain the "genuis" behind this show? (I remember reading it is considered one of the most innovative TV shows that aired at the time.)
