I mostly remember watching shows that my mom and grandmother disapproved of. I was never that fond of shows aimed at my age group. I liked Hawaii Five-O and Star Trek and Starsky and Hutch while I was being encouraged to watch Friendly Giant and Mr Dressup. Puppets creep me out so those last two were a hard no.

Also remember shows like All In The Family (a lot of it went over my head), Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Rockford Files, Little House on the Prairie (gaak), The Waltons (GAAK!), etc.

I watched a lot of old shows with my dad when I was little. This one is from 1955, which means it’s 70 years old!

I remember this intro to the show Get Smart, which used to come on TVLand (a channel that airs retro shows), right before Dragnet.

Must of been about 4 or 5 years old at the time, and the show completely went above my head, haha. Think the main character had a secret phone in his shoe or something which was cool, lol.

…I also used to think that the detective guy’s name was actually “Get Smart” :sweat_smile:.
