  1. A lot of great shows there and a lot of good memories to go with them.

    I absolutely loved The Quest and have been trying to find it on DVD for years....literally. I also, vaguely, remember Gavilan.

    My mom was a huge fan of Partners in Crime, as well.

    Great stuff!

  2. Wow, I'd forgotten all about so many of these shows. I think I'll head to Youtube for a bit of nostalgic searching.

  3. Great list. I'd forgotten over half of them.

  4. I remember a lot of those, like Tales of the Green Monkey. And have you seen Mark Singer lately? Not good.
    Funny video! When it first came out, it was Green Jello and they had to change the name.

  5. I was a baby in those days, but I did love the later part of the 80's with GOLDEN GIRLS, HOME IMPROVEMENT, COSBY SHOW, BLOSSOM and all the soaps :)

  6. I really miss Bret Maverick. Guess that kinda dates me AND James Garner.

  8. That's quite the list. Yup, Three's Company, V, and so many others. ER for pete's sake. Though I'd run out of time to watch it long before they cancelled it. So many shows, so little time...

  12. I don't remember the name of the show that had Jason Bateman in it, but I do remember that it was my favorite show on TV for the few months I recall seeing it. I've thought about it since, I'm not sure if I'd feel that way now.

  13. For someone who watched a lot of TV back in those days, it's amazing how many of these shows I don't remember.

    Bring ‘Em Back Alive, The Quest, Tales Of The Gold Monkey, and V were definite must-see-TV for me.

  14. I loved Brett Maverick and TALES OF THE GOLD MONKEY -- some surprise, huh? A Western with a sense of humor and a serial based adventure in the islands pre-WWII! Great post. V of course. Ah, my imagination always made alternate adventures of those shows!

  15. Well, now you're just cheating...E/R!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow, that's such a long list! Even when I was younger, I was a sci-fi/fantasy fan, so I really only remember those, such as V, which I loved. :)

  17. Bring 'Em Back Alive was an interesting exciting series. I always wondered why they axed that show.

  18. E/R (1984–1985) was a sitcom...

[Retro] Love the Comments, not so much the Spam... so I have enough man-pills, fake gold watches and link-back options that I need. Thank you!

No More Anonymous Monkeys to much of the above mentioned, sorry sometimes I get some nice things.
