Without a crossword puzzle to complete, I've been working my way through a book of Word Searches I received as a white elephant prize a while back. The book was published by TV Guide Magazine in 2015, but the puzzles reference material ranges from the 1960s up to the publication date. So far, this has been one of my favorites:

About a dozen of the 'top' shows were unfamiliar to me. When I searched for them on the internet I found out that most were short-lived, only lasting for one or two seasons.
If you were watching television in 1979, how familiar are you with these shows? Which ones don't you know?

Tracking Down Trolls
Hmmm... Happy Days, Barney Miller, Fantasy Island, The Jeffersons, MASH, Mork and Mindy, 60 Minutes, The Waltons. :-)
ReplyDeleteSome good choices here :-)
DeleteI know quite a few -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteM*A*S*H was a great show. I liked Hart to Hart. Stefanie Powers was a fine looking lady. She played April Dancer in "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E."
ReplyDeleteM*A*S*H was a great show, and still holds up.
DeleteI forgot about Lou Grant. Was it a Mary Tyler Moore spinoff? MASH was one of my favorite shows when young for a long time. Barney Miller too.
ReplyDeleteLou Grant was a MTM spinoff. We've been watching Barney Miller the past few months. Other than the fact the video isn't great on our high definition television it's a lot of fun.
DeleteI only saw a handful of these, but I remember my grandmother watching almost all of them and talking about them.
ReplyDeleteI started to feel old, but then realized I was barely out of my teens in 1979.
DeleteI enjoyed MASH, but most of the rest are unfamiliar.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many of them didn't make it out of the US distribution network?
DeleteCharlie's Angels (the original), five seasons though only the first three were the best, still, LOVE that show. I also love how you have a break for the day where you enjoy some quiet like this. Very cool. LOVE IT! I'm an outside quiet break taker. Same idea though. Just that little bit of quiet in the day.
ReplyDeleteSometimes that break is the only 'me' time I get all day.
DeleteFun post! Even though I was still a kid in 1979, I recognized 32 of them! Further proof that, as a gen X kid, I was raised by the television!
ReplyDeleteMork & Mindy, sigh...I still miss Robin Williams.
Robin was a comedic genius.
DeleteI didn't recognize 10 of them. So 34 are me.
ReplyDeleteThat's about where I was.
DeleteI recognize 17 of them. A lot of good shows on the list
ReplyDeleteAnd a lot of them are still running on cable and streaming channels
