Ten Totally Forgotten TV Series (Gee, I wonder why?)

[OneEyedDiva]

The only one I watched was My Favorite Martian. I remember My Mother The Car and The Hathaways, but never watched them. Never heard of the others.

I loved My Favorite Martian and My Mother The Car, and sometimes find them on streaming 'channels.'
I never heard of The Hathaways.

 

[RambleTamble]

I used to like the series The Time Tunnel and The Immortal.

Way to go ABC! Great ideas for television shows!

I don't remember the show Grindl , but I do recall a show that starred Imogene Coca.
I regularly watched My Mother The Car, it was really too far fetched to not watch it.
Never heard of Cavemen, but I always enjoyed the Geico commercials.
My Favorite Martian...what's not to love?

I hadn't heard of any of the other shows.

 

[Naturally]

During most of those years, the antenna at our rural home only received NBC.
If something good wasn't on, there was plenty to do "out in the country".

The Double Life of Henry Fife was a favorite of mine.

I remember My Favorite Martian. Loved that show. Thanks for the reminder.

Classic TV Theme: Angie (1979-1980)​

I don't remember much about this show that was on about two years before getting cancelled.
Supposedly taking place in my home town of Philadelphia.

Robert Hays of Airplane! fame.
And Donna Pescow of Saturday Night Fever fame.
Doris Roberts of Everybody Loves Raymond fame.

I don't recall this one but judging by the intro theme it looks fun.

Anyone remember Stoney Burke? (Starring Jack Lord, better known for Hawaii 5-0):

I remember Jack Lord from Hawaii 5-0. My grandmother had a bit of a crush on him.

 

[Delia]

I'll bet no one will remember this. Lucan from 1977.

You may be right. At least I don't remember it but it looks like a good adventure series.

 

[OldFeller]

We had the Stony Burke board game.

I vaguely recall this but remember it was funny.

 

[Mizmo]

The Jetsons and The Flintstones , old cartoon classics ...
My daughter loved them. We didn't miss an episode

While going through this thread again, I am reminded of a show called The Mother -In-Laws staring Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard. I don't remember much of the show but I must have liked it because I have specific memories of watching the show. I am sure most of the humor went way over my head. It only lasted two seasons (1967-1969) so I guess not too many people watched it.

I watched it on Monday nights. Warren Oates was also in it. He would call the lead character sometimes Stony Boney.

I remember watching this one.

How about Dark Shadows? It was cheesy but I watched it every weekday afternoon at 4pm after school.

The theme song says it all. I loved Phyllis Diller so watched the few episodes that aired. In a sense, it was a precursor to Schitt's Creek, where a wealthy family loses everything and can't cope.
