When I was very little, my favorite shows were The Lone Ranger and both the weekly primetime Disney show which showed episodes of Zorro and Davy Crockett (I even had a coonskin cap ... "King of the wild frontier ...") and the Mickey Mouse Club, and (I think their names were) Karen and Corky. The TV I remember most from back then, however, were afternon movies (was Dialing For Dollars way back then?) and the movies I remember loving the most were Judy Garland musicals and Ginger Rogers comedies. As a teenager I loved Bewitched. I named my cat "Sammi," which was what Paul Lynde always called Samantha.

There are many, but at the top of mind was Saturday night's "Love Boat" then "Fantasy Island" shows. "Baretta" was great too. "SNL" when Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, and Jane Curtain did Weekend Update. Other consistent favorites were Macmillan & Wife, Rockford Files, Knight Rider, and 21 Jump Street. Good times...

I agree with Carla (even though I'm too young to have seen it on tv when I was a kid)... Scarecrow and Mrs. King is the best!

Warner Brothers (Looney Tunes) with Bugs Bunny, etc., Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Hanna-Barbera (Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones!! I was born in the early 1950's!!!
