Oldies but Goodies

Talk about old tv shows you like to watch.

I’m a bit of a “oldies” junkie in that I love re-watching TV shows from when I was a kid/teenager. Recently The Young Riders was FINALLY aired. I looked into the DVDs before but had read they had gotten into music licensing issues. Now it’s played On Demand on STARZ and I’m totally hooked.

I had such a crush on Josh Brolin as “Wild Bill Hickok” and something about that time period is fascinating for me. I love the layers to the stories and the women in the show. Back then I was a huge fan of Lou and The Kid and it’s funny how much I would have preferred her with Hickok. I would have been 100% behind that pairing now. 🙂

I don’t watch much TV at all, but when I turn it on to just chill, 9 times out of 10, I watch episodes of old/classic TV. I Love Lucy is a go-to for me. I watched it a lot as a kid with my Mom. I’ve seen every episode a zillion times, and it never gets old. I love The Partridge Family from the 70s. Whenever I can catch it, I try to. I have several of the show soundtracks, so I love to pop those on too. I also still love to watch Three’s Company. Again, seen each episode a zillion times, but still love to watch when I catch it. Same with The Brady Bunch. I used to love Tom & Jerry cartoons, and now Rhett watches them, so it’s fun to watch with him. I like several 80s shows, since that’s the decade I did most of my TV watching. I still love to watch Roseanne and Married With Children and Night Court. There are some other 80s shows that I like to catch if I see them on, like Family Ties and Silver Spoons. I used to love watching Cosby Show, but that’s harder for me to watch now. I really did watch waaaay too much TV in the 80s, so love to harken back to that time and watch those old shows when I can. There are some 80s shows that we used to love, but now it’s tough to watch with the cheese factor, like A’Team, Knight Rider, Macguyver. Remember Kids Incorporated and Punky Brewster? Haha, I seriously don’t think I could watch those now. I didn’t watch a whole lot in the 90s. We love to watch That 70s Show episodes now, but actually never watched it back in the 90s. I really can’t think of anything I watched in the 90s that I would watch now.

I used to love watching The Cosby Show. Now I just can’t justify it and am glad that it’s been pulled from TV

Yeah, it’s hard to watch it at all, and I find that sad for the other actors. It’s just weird watching it, knowing while it’s being filmed and he’s on the show, that he’s doing horrible things in real life. Terrible!
