What were your favorite TV shows growing up
Forums:
I really liked the black shows growing up. Though I watched Happy Days and stuff but the stuff that really was it for me was shows like the Jefferson's or Good Times or What's Happening. Still watch them today. Saw Rerun in a Saveon Drugstore on the corner of Ventura and Topanga in the 80's. Went in and he was asking for a ice cream cone and they didn't have any.

One day I was watching an episode of Batman where they were racing across a field in the Batmobile.
Suddenly the screen flashed with an urgent "News Flash" alert. Looked just like part of the show.
Reagan had just been shot by Hinkley. Never saw the end of that episode....

Hey Judit. Vaguely. I didn't look it up on IMDb. Was it an American show or English? I know Disney made a lot of series back then like The Swamp Fox and I think Zorro. I certainly remember the movie with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland and Claude Rains (who was one of the greatest character actors of all time) better. That's one of my all time favorites.

That's one the whole family would watch together every Saturday night. Funny, I had a wedding up in Big Fork, Montana at a property owned by one of the guys from Emergency. Dude's name was Mike Stoker and he was a real life LA fireman who happened to have a SAG card so he was hired on as a consultant and played one of the guys at the station house.

From Wikipedia: The
From Wikipedia: The Adventures of Robin Hood is a British television series comprising 143 half-hour, black and white episodes broadcast weekly between 1955 and 1959 on ITV. It starred Richard Greene as the outlaw Robin Hood, and Alan Wheatley as his nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
It was English but played well in L.A. It was the show everybody was talking about the next morning when we got to school.

My earliest memories of television are of the Mickey Mouse Club, The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy.
I enjoyed many of the above shows through the yrs. I was brought up on TV. Still can't shake the addiction today.
Then locally, there was Webster Webfoot and The 49er. 2 shows I was actually on when very very young. When the 49er ask me how old I was, I said I'm 3, but I'm tough. At least that's what they told me. That would have been 1957.

The main character was test driver?/stunt driver?, so every episode had a decent car chase. It was like that episode of The Simpsons where Monty Burns thrives on Bart's blood. If Bart knew how to hot-wire a car.

When I was a wee lad on Saturday nights the street lights came on and it meant to get my ass home because EMERGENCY was on!!
Showered, in PJ's with my pillow and blanket laying on the floor watching every second of this fine fine medical drama.
What fond memories.
Many years pass and I am in mid 20's and I was visiting a friends house with a TV with cable. Flippin channels I find on the New Jersey station reruns of EMERGENCY
It was so cheesy, I was so sad that I even saw it again, it was so much better as a memorie.
