chessiegal August 31 Share August 31 I liked the first 2 (?) seasons of Happy Days. I understand they went to a live audience after that because of ratings, but the feel of the overall show changed, and only got worse. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/43/#findComment-8446593

Tom Holmberg October 10 Share October 10 I as thinking today, that back in the day I'd eagerly wait for TV Guide's Fall Preview issue to see all the new programs coming up in the new season. Today Sept. has passed with only a handful of new shows (most of which probably will be gone after 13 episodes) on network TV.

Yeah No October 12 Share October 12 On 9/24/2024 at 3:55 PM, chessiegal said: Antenna TV has some fun shows. We enjoy Johnny Carson at 10 pm ET. I like Antenna TV. It has a nice mix of shows. I also like Rewind TV which specializes in shows from the '80s and '90s. @EtheltoTillie, I gave Dragnet a chance and realized why I didn't like it the first time around. Too dry and "just the facts ma'am" for me. Not enough street action. Plus no eye candy, LOL. Well, I was a pre-teen and young teen when I watched "Adam 12" the first time and I confess to having had crushes on both Kent McCord and Martin Milner. 😉 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/43/#findComment-8479086
Annber03 October 12 Share October 12 I remember seeing reruns of "Dragnet" on Nick at Nite when I was a kid - I don't remember a ton about the show, but I do remember the whole "This is the city..." thing and the basic premise and whatnot. I mainly just remember it being on early in the mornings on weekends - they would show it alongside "Dobie Gills" and "F Troop" and shows of that sort, and sometimes I'd see those shows if I was up late or got up early and was waiting for the kids' shows to start on Nickelodeon or something ;p. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61546-retro-tv-channels-%E2%80%9Dthe-good-old-days-of-television%E2%80%9D/page/43/#findComment-8479095
