I have seen every single episode of Scarecrow & Mrs. King, starring Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson. And I am fairly certain I have seen every episode of both Remington Steele, with Pierce Brosnan and La Femme Nikita, with Peta Wilson. I'm not gonna list the cartoons I loved, because the list would be just too extensive.


What were your favorite shows growing up?

I watched a lot of Cheers, Cosby Show, Family Ties, Moonlighting, Miama Vice....of course these are all 80's shows. My teen years started in the 80's so that's what I put.


Brain is slow tonight....perhaps I'll think of more later!

I am a big, big fan of adventure, law and westerns. Probably no one on these boards will remember a show called, "Adventures in Paradise", starring Gardner McKay -he was so fine! Also, loved, "The Avengers" (What's-his-face and Diana Rigg), "Perry Mason", starring Raymond Burr.


And"The Bounty Hunter", starring Steve McQueen. Richard Chamberlin was a favorite actor - enjoyed the "Shogun" series, as well as "The Thorn Birds."

This ol' lady grew up watching the Ed Sullivan show and (in junior high) the original Star Trek series. Also, The Man From Uncle, Gunsmoke, and National Geographic specials. Of course, as a kid, back when a home only had one television, most of the viewing was chosen by my parents. I didn't have my own television until I was 23 and married.

Hi-Loved a bit of Frye and Laurie, did you see the BBC series Jeeves and Wooster (starring Steven Frye and Hugh Laurie), perhaps better known in the US for House, but he's such a great comedian. siren

I grew up in the 70s and in my parents home everything stopped (first on Saturday nights and later on other nights when it switched around a bit) for All in the Family. I have never tired of the show--I have the first six season sets on DVD and watch them on TVLand too. To this dayI laugh as hard at Archie Bunker's butchering of the English language as I did from the age of 10 till Archie Bunker's Place went off the air when I was 23 and graduating college.
