Why do I find old TV sit-com reruns silly?

Anybody here remember "Foodini the Great" and Pinhead ? No? "Kukla, Fran and Ollie"? Anyone? Am I off topic? Where the Hell am I anyway? :eek:ld:

I have no idea why I just sat through two episodes of The Andy Griffith show. I was channel surfing was surprised to see it pop up though I would take a quick peek for old times sake, and there I am. Two full episodes later. :D

Addictive, in a Quaalude-ish way, isn't it? :p
 
Hey- Andy, Barney and Gomer have all(at one time or another) sat down at Aunt Bee's kitchen table together, said "grace" and had fried chicken on Sundays for supper.

Andy can kick anybody's butt...Barney and Gomer, maybe together can fight their way out of a wet paper bag. :D
 
Any Griffith not my go to place when feeling the need for some comfort TV. Of course it was there alongside other sit coms available in the 60s and 70s that I might watch if there was nothing else on. My mom liked the show though. I was, however, a very loyal fan of Laugh In and The Smothers Brother Show later on and never missed it. Now those were some excellent laughs.
 
I still LOVE M.A.S.H! I had forgotten about WKRP in Cincinnati -- that one had some great episodes.

And yes, I remember Topper. I especially liked the martini-drinking St. Bernard.

Green Acres was so absurd it was funny. Lisa Douglas always plugging in too many electric things and blowing the electricity and finally Oliver putting numbers on everything so she didn't do that really struck a chord with us. When we were in Germany not long after that, we had to use (220 to 110) transformers for our electric stuff and kept plugging in too much and blowing transformers (expensive to replace) -- so we also put numbers on things so we didn't plug in too much -- "You can't plug that in -- it's an 8 and I'm using a 6 in the kitchen!"

Smothers Brothers were great. I recently watched some of them on YouTube and still enjoyed them immensely.
 
Mash is on a different dimension, that was a great show as a young girl I watched it regularly and will watch if I it pops up during my surfing channel moments. I pretty much didn't choose most of what we would watch when the other shows were on I was the middle sibling and like between Ages five and eight when some of those shows was first airing. I watched a lot of TV including I love Lucy, petticoat junction and most of what has been mentioned. Some shows were more annoying than others, but, at times I still enjoyed even the irksome ones,what else was I to do in the evening at such an age besides get picked on by my older siblings. :D. I couldn't stand that military comedy show of which I recall the name at the moment, the one with the German or Russian officers, but, sometimes got stuck watching that too. I think that military show was my parents watching pleasure
 
My parents bought our first TV in 1953, I was 8. The first show on was Howdy Doody. I think we could have fried eggs on top of the TV afterwards, I remember getting up turning on the cartoons on Sat. watching 'Buster Brown'. One of my favorites was 'The Millionaire' had a smooth talking gent giving out $1M checks to unsuspecting recipients from John Beresford Tipton. Kept watching for him to show up, never happened.
