OT: 70s TV Shows

[peate]

Picked Mash since its the most memorable to me but there are quite a few excellent choices. All in the family is a very close second and also really enjoyed WKRP and Taxi... those would be my top 4 on this list.

And now I feel old

I re-watched Taxi recently. Jim and Latka were great, so was Louie.

Dukes of Hazzard for me, nice Orange Challenger, police chases, fights and a fashion iconic pair of short jean's that holds the lead female character's name!

What more can a 7 year old boy ask for ?

Steve Austin is the greatest action hero of all-time. And I ain't talkin' about no God damn wrestler.

Only one of these guys was able to kick Andre the Giant's ass, and it was the one with the bionics who did it.

 

[FloJack]

I voted other as Sandford and Son is not included.

 

[FloJack]

Sanford and Son

Great minds Tyson!

Yeah, that was Furley (Don Knotts). The Mr. Roper character (Norman Fell) always struck me as the ultimate pervert, his facial expressions were fabulous. But, it’s been too long since I’ve watched the show.

His turn towards the camera and smile.

RIP.

Someone was just mentioning Tarlek in response to a post I had made about Friedman’s oversized, curly sideburns and his pink checkered suit.

That's the first show I watched with my Pops.

I went WKRP but yes SnS for me!!! Weenzie.....lol
All in the Family, Mash, Jefferson were also great

Redd Foxx was a gem

 

[Scintillating10]

I voted for Archie. But just slightly over Fonzie and Gunsmoke. Many great tv shows from the 70s

 

[habdynasty]

Too hard to pick one , I have seen every episode from all those shows except maybe welcome back kotter. Loved sitcoms back in the day.

Redd Foxx was a gem

This is it Lamond, it's the big one. I'm coming to join you 'Lizbeth.

Mr. Roper was the ultimate perv.

In the original draft his name was Willy Groper

Frank Bonner who played Herb Tarlek passed away today.

On WKRP he was the sales guy and Johnny Fever was the stoner DJ, but in reality it was totally the opposite.

 

[angusyoung]

Saw most of those shows but went with Barney Miller.It was a fairly accurate depiction of New York and actual police precinct.

Bergevin will have to find a new role model for fashion I guess.

Hey we forgot about Growing Pains , Different Strokes and Silver Spoons with a side of 6 million dollar man. Remember when Steve had to fight Sasquatch? I didn't know all these years that was Andre the Giant in that suit.

 

[Tyson]

This is it Lamond, it's the big one. I'm coming to join you 'Lizbeth.

Yeah he and Aunt Ester had some good moments together.

Julio, Grady, Roscoe, Bubba....great show all around

I loved his attacks on white people...damn funny the way Fred G. Sanford did it.

As I said in an earlier post, only one Steve Austin beat the tar out of Andre the Giant, and he wasn't a wrestler.



'Nuff said.
