We had ONE Black and White TV when I was growing up. Someone had to get up and go over and change the channel when we wanted to watch something different. If I can remember we only got 3 or 4 channels. Most of the time growing up we didn't have cable we had an outside antenna. Sometimes we could get better reception with some tinfoil on the tv's antenna inside the house. My parents didn't let us watch a lot of TV but some of the shows that we did watch and that I still love today, I've listed below. Now they call it Classic TV. I guess I'm an old classic.
I Love Lucy
My Three Sons
The Flying Nun
Mr. Ed (the talking horse)
Andy Griffith Show
Gomer Pyle
Lassie
Lost In Space
Hogan's Heroes
Green Acres
Petty Coat Junction
Beverly Hillbillies
Bonanza
Captain Kangaroo
I Dream Of Jeannie
Bewitched
Ed Sullivan Show
Gunsmoke
Wagon Train
Leave It To Beaver
The Wonderful World of Disney

I remember the tin foil and black and white. I also remember having to get up to change the channel.
About 1976 or so my parents bought a used color tv and then my dad who loves gadgets, bought some kind of thing that attached to the tv, had a long cord and he could lay on the couch and push this remote thingy and change the four channels we had and even turn it off. Pretty wild!
I can relate to all of that! I don't think I ever watched "Wagon Train" but I LOVE the rest of those "classics"!!
I totally remember them all. I was in love with Little Joe and Heath. So many fond memories wrapped up in those shows. Great post.
Not only was the TV black and white, but it had to "warm up" for a minute before we could see the picture!
Every TV show you listed, I watched. I still love Andy of Mayberry. The Wonderful World of Disney was on Sunday nights, if I remember right, and my mom would make fudge during that time.
Good memories.
I have to admit, I never watch any of these shows now. I loved Little House on the Prairie.
i still love to watch bewitched! I came across an old show that I had forgotten about.....Alf...it was a pretty funny episode. Also, I remember watching Full House and The Cosby Show. I love old TV it's much better than the trash that is on TV today! See you this weekend!
I so remember all of that...and the big tubes in the TV. I used to help my dad when he worked on the TV by holding a mirror in front so he could see what was happening on the screen. Blessings, SusanD
My faves were Laugh in, Smothers brothers, Monty Python, then Saturday night live (early years) all are 30 plus years ago..:-)
That's back in the days when people did more things with their hands like change TV channels and went outside to play. I watched most of those shows too.
I also remember a siren or whistle would go off at noon. That's when we knew it was time to go home and eat lunch.
CGMan and I were just talking about that the other day! My favorite is the Dick Van Dyke Show. I thought Luara was so pretty and Rob so handsome!
I remember that you used to get to stay up and watch Gunsmoke! I remember all of those shows. I used to like to watch the Munsters on Saturday mornings ... it was around 6:00/6:30, way before cartoons came on. I used to love me some Saturday morning cartoon. We didn't get a color TV in the house until 1981, a few months before I went to Ricks.
