Since I am in a list mood, how about TV shows? Same guidelines as the movie list, but with TV, it was something that drew you in weekly and looking back, still holds up today. Some shows were trendy, some had a great intro, and some, you wonder why I watched it. Some, I barely remember, so I didn't pick them.

No, I didn't like Captain Kangaroo..
Again, I have noticed, that as I grew older I watched less TV. Life, work, family, and so on took up more time. and so it goes...
more when I think of them..

Many blasts from the past on your list that I also enjoyed. The Monkees! That was my favorite show when I was 11 or 12.
Did you ever watch Letterman's morning show from around 1979? It wasn't on very long. My kids were babies and it was a wonderful way to break up the morning. I remember thinking, man, this guy is really something.
Aren't you a little young for Burns and Allen?

Yes I did watch his show back then. It was very funny, won all kind of awards and then was canceled. Show Business.
And no, I remember the show quite well. I loved the fact he would talk to the camera during the show. Lots of laughs.
Thanks for the compliment.
Never missed the Monkees . Her we come, walking down the street..
I know a lot of these, but not all. I am afraid I hated Sesame Street and forbade my son from watching it. Awful of me I know.
Star Trek - I think I have seen every episode. I once watched eight hours of it straight. Science fiction appeals to me - if well done of course. Bad Sci Fi is very bad.
I think I saw Gilligan's Island 100 thousand times, so often it was repeated here.

You didn't like the Cookie Monster and the Count? Sigh!
