1970's Television

[kybearfuzz]

I'm finally at work for the first time in nearly a week. It took a lot of effort to drag myself in here today, but so far so good. The coughing fits have almost stopped, which is a good sign.

During the last few days, I have been watching a lot of TV Land and Hallmark Channel, finding myself enthralled by, of all things, The Waltons. This show started just before I was born and I admit I found it too dull to watch as young kid. While chatting with a local friend, I brought this up yesterday. He laughed and said it couldn't compete with Little House on the Prairie. A fun discussion ensued after that. Though I watched Little House as a kid, I thought The Waltons was actually better written and more realistic. The whole town could burn down in Walnut Grove and everyone would be smiling at the end, where everyone on Walton's Mountain may be in bed that night, but the lesson wasn't always so rosy.

So being somewhat of a fan of 1970's TV, I created a poll for fun. It's behind the cut to save space. Commentary is always welcome :)

I do remember Wonder Woman when it first came out. Not sure back that what captivated me about it.

I have always liked MASH. I can play that tune in my head forever. Radar was so cute in that show too. He was so timid, but he knew that camp and how it works like the back of his hand. Reminds of me? I dunno.

Never did take to Charlie's Angels.

I loved Wonder Woman and Charlie's Angels from the start. One of my first memories, believe it or not, was a TV Guide commercial stating there is a new angel in town with Cheryl Ladd on the cover. I was four.

M*A*S*H was one of my dad's favorite shows, but as a kid I didn't enjoy it. Then I hit puberty and the show started to make sense :D

Now, what does puberty have to do with all of this???

LOL.. the sexual humor of it started to make sense after I hit puberty :D
