I haven’t heard of any of them.

I haven’t heard of any of them.

I must admit, I watched all of them now and then. Except for the stupid caveman one.

My Favorite Martian was on daily on the local independent TV station when I was a kid. That's how I got to know it.

 

[-Oy-]

Nope - they mean nothing to me.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I well remember the western, "Dirty Sally" starring Jeanette Nolan and Dack Rambo.

 

[Flarbalard]

I've actually seen 1, 2,3, & 9. I only watched one episode of My Mother the Car, only because classmates had been talking about it.

If I’m recalling properly, I liked that one. Or maybe I just watched it because there was nothing else.

My Favorite Martian is sometimes on streaming and retro channels.. the other one I remember and liked was My Mother The Car.
I'm not familiar with any of the others.

Nor me...

 

[CallMeKate]

I only recognize My Favorite Martian and My Mother the Car. For whatever reason, this list made me think of Car 54, Where Are You with Fred Gwynne.

Talking of Tv shows.. ..I was watching an old Episode tonight while eating dinner.... of The Man from U.N.C.L.E ... and there was a little boy in it with a fairly substantial part.., and I thought it might be Ron Howard.. he was just a little boy looked about 10 or 11.. so I looked the cast and it was Kurt Russell.. and he was 13 in real life... ..

Looking at Kurt today age 73..I wonder if he ever looks back at those childhood

then age 13 ...1964

Today age 73....

Well I guess I'm not the only one who remembers The Second Hundred Years.

 

[Aunt Bea]

There have been so many that it might make for a good cable television channel.

Remember Please Don’t Eat The Daisies, The Jimmy Stewart Show, Apples Way …

Okay, here's one I wonder if anyone else remembers. I loved this show from the late 60s. It was about five orphaned siblings living on the Wyoming frontier. It was called The Monroes and after many years of not finding anyone else who remembered it, I found a few episodes online... no idea where because it was 18 or 20 years ago. (Yes, that's Barbara Hershey!)
