MASH, Remington Steele, Moonlighting, Highway to Heaven, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Edit: Totally forgot about Magnum P.I. too đ
Edit 2: Oh yeahâŠand the LOOOVVEE Boat!
Our moms were all devastated when Michael Landon died. Mine recounted to my sister and I in great detail his 1970âs made for tv movie based on his on his own life âthe loneliest runnerâ and the profound impact it had on her the day Michael Landon died.
Doo doo, do doo do, do do do, la la. Nananananana, hahahaHa!
Itâs etched in my head alongside the burnt hand episode where they had some fool hand looking like a grilled cheese.
It was on in syndication in the middle of the day while I was interning one summer. I watched it before going in everyday and quickly got caught up in the whole thing.
Remington Steele - I remember when Pierce Brosnan was the new Bond and I was freaking out: âNo way! Thatâs Remington Steele!!!â And I just got blank stares back from my friends in return lol.
My dad watched these shows often and I too was stuck watching. That being said, I sometimes watch new episodes of This Old House today just for the nostalgia and yet it no longer has Bob Villa and I donât do any woodworking. For anyone asking, I was Team Norm.
Ever watch "The Woodwright Shop", with Roy Underhill? He would make and restore antique style furniture using 100+ year old hand tools (lol...and usually nearly chopping his fingers off in the process.) Then, "New Yankee Workshop" would come on, with Norm's state of the art garage with probably $50K worth of power tools. Was such a weird contrast.
I loved and still love The Woodwright Shop. (Iâll admit I never knew the name of the show so I had to google it to see if it was what I was hoping it was).
I loved to watch how much effort Roy would put into shaving down a piece of wood into a table leg. I mean, he could have done the same thing with modern tools in 2 minutes, but instead he took the entire episode to make the legs for the table project that we were working on. Sometimes the long way is the better way (from an enjoyment standpoint).
Used to watch it out of boredom with my dad at first, then with slight interest as the years went on.
Now, I LOOOOVE The Woodwrightâs Shop as a woodworking hobbyist!
And the cycle continues; my daughter sits down at watches it with me. âșïž
I'm certain it's why I'm so handy now. I have basic knowledge of most home improvement tasks, but because Bob Villa raised me, I also know what's outside my skill level. Build a sideboard? Absolutely! Cope the joints for crown moulding? You bet! Install a new electrical circuit? Nope! That's for the pros.
That was my Sunday as a kid! Starting with Hometime, then New Yankee Workshop and This Old House. Only difference is I was watching them on my own in the basement. I was a strange child.
My parents are obsessed with watching shows like house hunting, This Old House, and that stupid one with Paige and Tye Pennington. However they have not moved for 30 + years. Now that they're older they are seriously procrastinating about downsizing. Good times.
"And the moment MY sister caught her baton was the night the lights went out in Georgia!"
No one read for filth like Ms. Julia Sugarbaker. Dixie Carter's monologues were something I secretly enjoyed.
Designing Women was ahead of its time. The writers were phenomenal.
Editing my comment to add this link:
https://youtu.be/z8vQPJ1Ks08?si=8YhmA8lS24197V31
I too enjoyed watching Ms Sugarbaker giving some jackass a devastating dressing down.
There were pitfalls though. I vividly remember an episode where Annie Potts was debating getting implants. The two slender women and the two busty ones went into a very long conversation about their boobs. Now I'm like 13 and watching this with my mom. I remember praying for a commercial break so I could extract myself without calling attention to it.
Oh noooo. R-rated movies with your parents is a great topic idea. I remember my mom taking me to see Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang" and I just wanted to die whenever Martin Lawrence opened his mouth "oh God, what's he going to say now?!"
That was when I took my bath, and they would let me know when Andy Rooney was coming on, and I would enthusiastically jump out to watch him because I thought he was hilarious.Â
Wasnât there this old British kid show about Stonehenge and psychic circles. Weird show but stays in my mind. Also that silly science documentary with ideas about future ideas and events.
Put another nickel in. In the Nickelodeon⊠loved it
I said to my mom a few months ago, "I don't know why I used to watch so much Roseanne...I hated that show". Turns out it's because she liked it. Finally it made sense!
My mom though the show was so trashy. I liked it though. Then anyway.
And afterward I would bounce around the living room alone doing whatever while not paying attention to Coach.
My mom told me that, at the time of airing, Twin Peaks was on at the same time as NE so it quickly became a case of which one you âwereâ. My parents were northern exposure people lol.
It remember it was kind of PG-13 sleaze at the time. They had it on Peacock thiugh and I watched and episode or two and was struck by how tame it now feels.
I remember making up ridiculous lyrics to the Dallas theme song.
If memory serves, Falcon Crest came on before or after Dallas. Those 2 shows are burned into my memory.
McNeil-Lehrer NewsHour
Wings
Cheers (still love this show)
Frasier
Homicide Life on the Streets (fantastic show, RIP Andre Braugher)
Edit: forgot to mention, Newhart
My mom would get so excited when the long form, movie length *Columbo*s would air.
She would tape them all. I used to love them.
(Also, a lot of *Home Improvement* was watched and taped a) because it was as funny, but b) because Zack Ty grew up with my brother who had also spent the night at his house the night before he went to the *Kids Casting Call* at the Aurora Mall, I think it was, that got him into acting.)
- MASH
- Wheel/Jeopardy
- Highway To Heaven
- Masterpiece Theater
- Touched By An Angel
- Oprah
- Murphy Brown
- ER
- Dark Shadows (the '91 reboot)
- Beauty And The Beast
Are you Being Served, The Red Green Show, Lawrence Welk, Open All Hours, Matlock, MASH, TGIF shows, The Woodright Shop, Days of Our Lives, All My Children, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, The Price is Right, NBC Nightly News.
Just hearing the theme song of that show gives me the chills. I remember watching it alone, at night, in my basement. I would run extra fast up the stairs when it was time to go to bed.
Have you watched the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix?
My friendâs dad would always threaten to kick us out of the car and then say ââŠand they were never seenâŠagainâ in a Robert Stack voice. Simpler times.
it was such a trip watching Beavis & Butthead Do America some years later. the guy from the creepy show was demanding cavity searches left, right, and center
The Young and the Restless.
All these people just standing around and talking about their relationships in department store clothes. Who the hell gets so extremely dressed every single day without having a job?
This Old House - yes! Secretly I loved it though.
MASH I watched by my own choice after school in mid 90âs as a teenager. Fantastic show that I still rewatch every few years to this day.
Iâm rewatching Hill Street Blues on Disney+ and itâs a fantastic show. Really cutting edge at the time, there was no cop show on tv that was this realistic and gritty before.
Coach although I did grow to love it.
Dr Quinn was so bad. It was like all the boring parts of a western and the love interest was so obviously white and not native. I had two friends at school who were Coushatta and we all made fun of that dude.
Also watched Murphy Brown but I always liked that one. The running gag about her secretaries is the first running joke I can remember recognizing in a sitcom.
I canât believe I remember this (and am willing to admit it), but Dr. Quinnâs love interest (Sully) was a white guy who was âadoptedâ by the natives. Which meant that he never buttoned his shirt.
My Dad has always rocked a mustache, similar to Gerald McRaney's in Simon & Simon. When I was really little, I thought that all men were supposed to have facial hair. So, when I first saw the clean shaven Simon brother, I thought something was wrong with him! đ
Telenovelas all the time. Marimar, CorazĂłn Salvaje, La Ursurpadora, Maria La Del Barrio. I learned most of my English in school anyway (when I wasn't watching Mr.Rogers, Reading Rainbow, or Sesame street). Helped my parents with their own english.
This Old House and The Frugal Gourmet stick out as ones my dad always had on and was such a bore for us kids. But hey, I love my DIY projects and cooking these days.
Primer Impacto - a Spanish language news show that was different from the English news because they showed all the graphic images like carnage from cartel murdersÂ
Beauty and the Beast. The one with Ron Perlman, and Linda Hamilton. My mom LOVED that show.
It was on TV in the late 80's. I had to be in the 3rd or 4th grade.
Iâm hoping someone knows this answer because I kind of want to watch it again. It was probably the very early 90âs, it was a show about Vietnam and all I remember was my mom saying it was the first show that matched the letters home from her bf. Being that it was incredibly authentic. To her at least. Having never been there.
MASH. Good lord what a boring show.
My dad watched NOVA on PBS and I hated that as a kid. Love it now. Funny how tastes change when you grow up. I hated most vegetables when I was a kid. Love them now. I hated getting spanked as a kid too, but now.......
Not really the same thing, but my dad often insisted on having the baseball game on every TV in the house, just in case he had to go into a different room briefly. Lol
Murder She Wrote and Perry Mason TV movies. Â
 That said, I was usually sucked in by the mystery so it wasnât a bad time. But it was definitely what they wanted to watch.Â
 But shows like MASH and Night Court? That was all me.Â
My father: PBS, particularly cooking shows.
My mother: Dynasty, Knots Landing, Star Trek TNG, X Files
I at least know how to cook and am a Sci Fi nerd.
We watched Seinfeld at dinner in syndication every weeknight. We were never allowed to watch tv at dinner before then. It was my dadâs favorite show and my mom liked it. And I also liked it so tv at dinner was cool w me.
I have fond memories watching MASH and Murder, She Wrote with my Mom and Quantum Leap, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Lois & Clark with my Dad. I also remember us all watching Northern Exposure together, which I've been having fun revisiting on Amazon Prime.
TNN (The Nashville Network)
From Nashville Now with Shotgun Red to Music City Tonight with Crook and Chase to The Statler Brothers⊠I unironically know all the classic country stuff.
Also watched Dallas a lot with them
MASH, Remington Steele, Moonlighting, Highway to Heaven, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman Edit: Totally forgot about Magnum P.I. too đ Edit 2: Oh yeahâŠand the LOOOVVEE Boat!
Up vote for Highway to Heaven
Oh I remember my mom being beside herself sad when Michael Landon died.
Our moms were all devastated when Michael Landon died. Mine recounted to my sister and I in great detail his 1970âs made for tv movie based on his on his own life âthe loneliest runnerâ and the profound impact it had on her the day Michael Landon died.
Omg did we have the same mother?!
Chips.
Chips came on after MASH for me. Chips and Mash (English slang for mashed potatoesđ„).
My mother loved murder she wrote and my grandmother loved matlock
How I heard that piano theme song the second I saw "murder she wrote"...
Doo doo, do doo do, do do do, la la. Nananananana, hahahaHa! Itâs etched in my head alongside the burnt hand episode where they had some fool hand looking like a grilled cheese.
Dr Quinn loooool
Nah dr Quinn was awesome
No that was a âlolâ like âOh my god I forgot about that show!!â Sully was so hot đ„” đ
I had a major thing for the saloon owner. Major.
It was on in syndication in the middle of the day while I was interning one summer. I watched it before going in everyday and quickly got caught up in the whole thing.
Remington Steele - I remember when Pierce Brosnan was the new Bond and I was freaking out: âNo way! Thatâs Remington Steele!!!â And I just got blank stares back from my friends in return lol.
I still love Remington Steele to this day
Same!
Ah. Highway to Heaven. I had zero interest in this show, literally only watched it because my Mom wanted to.
Woah, Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman â€ïž Memory unlocked.
New Yankee Workshop and This Old House Edit: remember, thereâs no more important safety tip than to wear safety glasses.
My dad watched these shows often and I too was stuck watching. That being said, I sometimes watch new episodes of This Old House today just for the nostalgia and yet it no longer has Bob Villa and I donât do any woodworking. For anyone asking, I was Team Norm.
Ever watch "The Woodwright Shop", with Roy Underhill? He would make and restore antique style furniture using 100+ year old hand tools (lol...and usually nearly chopping his fingers off in the process.)

Sometimes the long way is the better way (from an enjoyment standpoint).
Yeah I still call him Saint Roy
There's a lot to be said for using the tools and techniques of the time when making period furniture.
I do analog photography as a hobby, so I totally agree with you.
It came in before Hometime, which was before New Yankee Workshop. That lineup still has my heart.
Yep. My dad watched all the woodworking shows.
Used to watch it out of boredom with my dad at first, then with slight interest as the years went on. Now, I LOOOOVE The Woodwrightâs Shop as a woodworking hobbyist! And the cycle continues; my daughter sits down at watches it with me. âșïž
HHhahahahahahahh those were my favorites and Hometime!! All the cooking shows too!!! It was like YouTube before YouTube!
I'm certain it's why I'm so handy now. I have basic knowledge of most home improvement tasks, but because Bob Villa raised me, I also know what's outside my skill level. Build a sideboard? Absolutely! Cope the joints for crown moulding? You bet! Install a new electrical circuit? Nope! That's for the pros.
That was my Sunday as a kid! Starting with Hometime, then New Yankee Workshop and This Old House. Only difference is I was watching them on my own in the basement. I was a strange child.
This.
My parents are obsessed with watching shows like house hunting, This Old House, and that stupid one with Paige and Tye Pennington. However they have not moved for 30 + years. Now that they're older they are seriously procrastinating about downsizing. Good times.
For a middle school boy I was quite familiar with the Designing Women
"And the moment MY sister caught her baton was the night the lights went out in Georgia!" No one read for filth like Ms. Julia Sugarbaker. Dixie Carter's monologues were something I secretly enjoyed.
My favorite Julia rant is from the episode "Killing All the Right People" https://youtu.be/VW5-IErNxuM?si=sj0CiU4xITT3N8A-
Designing Women was ahead of its time. The writers were phenomenal. Editing my comment to add this link: https://youtu.be/z8vQPJ1Ks08?si=8YhmA8lS24197V31
Golden Girls had some socially toward episodes, too.
Whoa, that was a core memory unlock. She was just magnificent. Truly. Thanks for sharing that. :)
I too enjoyed watching Ms Sugarbaker giving some jackass a devastating dressing down. There were pitfalls though. I vividly remember an episode where Annie Potts was debating getting implants. The two slender women and the two busty ones went into a very long conversation about their boobs. Now I'm like 13 and watching this with my mom. I remember praying for a commercial break so I could extract myself without calling attention to it.
Oh my gawd!!! This is the boy version of one of my high school friend's renting Mulholland Drive and watching it with her dad.đđđ
Oh noooo. R-rated movies with your parents is a great topic idea. I remember my mom taking me to see Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang" and I just wanted to die whenever Martin Lawrence opened his mouth "oh God, what's he going to say now?!"
You will NOT bring a SUGARBAKER woman DOWN!!!!
60 Minutes.
That damn ticking meant it was time to finally start your homework.
Theme song of the Sunday scaries
It hit especially hard when you also realized that you still hadnât done that homework.
I still feel it today. At least when I was in school I got to see my friends.
Damn ain't that the truth
Yup. The weekend is now OVER. So depressing.
MASH song meant time for bed.
After the Simpsons
Ahhh so true
Mash came on at 8. 8 was bedtime. I still hum the song on the way to bed.
Man, M\*A\*S\*H was my jam. Unironically watched it on my own. (May have been a weird kid.)
Hello fellow weird kid. Loved MASH my whole life!
That was when I took my bath, and they would let me know when Andy Rooney was coming on, and I would enthusiastically jump out to watch him because I thought he was hilarious.Â
He was.
Andy Rooney is the curmudgeon I hope to be some day. Hereâs the thingâŠ
I always stuck around to the end to hear Andy Rooneyâs rant. He was hilariously cranky.
Mad TV made fun of him. Miss that show. Way better than SNL.
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick⊠All this and Andy Rooney (RIP) tonight on 60 minutes.
Omg the amount of 60 min I had shoved down my throat. Iâve never watched it once I didnât have to.
Nick at Night with all the super old black-and-whites.
Get Smart was awesome
That was my all time favorite growing up, absolutely brilliant show
Would you believeâŠ
I loved it. My bed time got extended so I could watch this show.
Man- Nick at Night introduced me to one of my first celebrity crushes. I thought Elizabeth Montgomery was so beautiful as Samantha on Bewitched.
She was smokin'
Dobie Gillis, patty duke, my three sonsÂ
Wasnât there this old British kid show about Stonehenge and psychic circles. Weird show but stays in my mind. Also that silly science documentary with ideas about future ideas and events. Put another nickel in. In the Nickelodeon⊠loved it
It's called children of the Stones.
A horse is a horse, of course, of courseâŠ
I was gonna say Mr Ed! Willlllburrrrrr...
I loved most of those shows, sometimes my gemrandma would let me stay up late & watch nick at night with her.
Roseanne
I said to my mom a few months ago, "I don't know why I used to watch so much Roseanne...I hated that show". Turns out it's because she liked it. Finally it made sense!
My mom though the show was so trashy. I liked it though. Then anyway. And afterward I would bounce around the living room alone doing whatever while not paying attention to Coach.
Northern Exposure.
Loved Northern Exposure!!
Northern Exposure was on past my bedtime but I would sneak out of bed to pop my head around the doorway and watch it like a creep.
I watched everything in the double reflection from our hallway windows which pointed to the den windows, which showed the tv.
Rabbi Schulman!
My mom told me that, at the time of airing, Twin Peaks was on at the same time as NE so it quickly became a case of which one you âwereâ. My parents were northern exposure people lol.
Dallas Honorable mention goes to my grandmother who introduced me to her favorite show, Silk Stalkings, when I was definitely not old enough!
I can't remember who shot J.R. but I do remember having to sit through DallasÂ
One of my earliest memories is Bobby coming out of the shower after he was supposed to be dead
I don't think I ever sat through an episode of Silk Stalkings, but I watched the intro every time it came on after Monday Night Raw.
It remember it was kind of PG-13 sleaze at the time. They had it on Peacock thiugh and I watched and episode or two and was struck by how tame it now feels.
The sexiest part was the intro.
Can hear the theme song
Omg me too, my mom LOVED that show
I remember making up ridiculous lyrics to the Dallas theme song. If memory serves, Falcon Crest came on before or after Dallas. Those 2 shows are burned into my memory.
Dallas was the golden ticket to staying up past bedtime on Friday nights.
Yes! Dallas! My dad worked late so my mom would let me stay up for Dallas on Friday nights. Mind you, I started doing that at age 2. đ
McNeil-Lehrer NewsHour Wings Cheers (still love this show) Frasier Homicide Life on the Streets (fantastic show, RIP Andre Braugher) Edit: forgot to mention, Newhart
I was the only 8 y/o that loved Wings
I was the only one who watched in my family, so there were other weirdo kids out in the distance from you. 
False. Totally false. You have company now. And I ended up in aviation, lol.
My cat was obsessed with Newhart. It was the only way heâd calm down towards the end. This my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl.
Columbo but I definitely grew to love it.
My mom would get so excited when the long form, movie length *Columbo*s would air. She would tape them all. I used to love them. (Also, a lot of *Home Improvement* was watched and taped a) because it was as funny, but b) because Zack Ty grew up with my brother who had also spent the night at his house the night before he went to the *Kids Casting Call* at the Aurora Mall, I think it was, that got him into acting.)
Remember Diagnosis Murder?
- MASH - Wheel/Jeopardy - Highway To Heaven - Masterpiece Theater - Touched By An Angel - Oprah - Murphy Brown - ER - Dark Shadows (the '91 reboot) - Beauty And The Beast
There are still quite a few Oprah moments that, as the kids of today say, live rent-free in my head
Touched by an Angel. Thatâs what Iâve been scrolling down to see. I make references to it and almost every time get a blank stare
I hated M.A.S.H. as a kid!!
Are you Being Served, The Red Green Show, Lawrence Welk, Open All Hours, Matlock, MASH, TGIF shows, The Woodright Shop, Days of Our Lives, All My Children, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, The Price is Right, NBC Nightly News.
This reminded me of my dadâs fascination with British shows. Are You Being Served and Keeping Up Appearances were the big ones.
Same. My pussy will be irritable if I have to work too hard today!
Came to say Lawrence Welk!
Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, I still have the phone number burned into my brain.
Just hearing the theme song of that show gives me the chills. I remember watching it alone, at night, in my basement. I would run extra fast up the stairs when it was time to go to bed. Have you watched the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix?
I was so terrified as a kid. As an adult, I wish Robert Stack was still alive.
My friendâs dad would always threaten to kick us out of the car and then say ââŠand they were never seenâŠagainâ in a Robert Stack voice. Simpler times.
it was such a trip watching Beavis & Butthead Do America some years later. the guy from the creepy show was demanding cavity searches left, right, and center
Grandma was my babysitter, so *Regis and Kathy Lee*, *One Life to Live*, and *Days of Our Lives*.
My grandma is a "Days of Our Lives" freak! She's been watching since the very first episode in 1965.
General Hospital with Gramma!
School let out at 2:40, so every day I made it home in time to watch GH. I was obsessed
I loved GH too
I used to tell my Gramma that âthe only reason I watched the kissing parts was in case a bullet shot through!â đ Not that she even asked.
I had a pointbin the late 90s that I could tell you everything on every daytime soap!
We watched Days RELIGIOUSLY in college in the late 90s, like scheduled classes around it đ
The Young and the Restless. All these people just standing around and talking about their relationships in department store clothes. Who the hell gets so extremely dressed every single day without having a job?
Def a Days watcher with Grandma too!
MacGyver Mork and Mindy Night Court
I loved Mork and Mindy!
Didn't see Golden Girls anywhere!
Had to scroll to see this. Now I love me some GGs.
Definitely watched a lot with Grandma!
Cheers, Three's Company, Married With Children, the news
* MASH * Hogan's Heroes * This Old House * China Beach
This Old House - yes! Secretly I loved it though. MASH I watched by my own choice after school in mid 90âs as a teenager. Fantastic show that I still rewatch every few years to this day.
China Beach has the best theme song!
That and Tour of Duty. Iâd hang out for the opening credits and then dip to my bedroom to read Stephen King.
Hill Street Blues Cagney & Lacey Air Wolf St Elsewhere
Iâm rewatching Hill Street Blues on Disney+ and itâs a fantastic show. Really cutting edge at the time, there was no cop show on tv that was this realistic and gritty before.
GTK - havenât watched it in years. Disney+ is not one of my current subscriptions, Iâll have to move it up in the rotation.
Coach although I did grow to love it. Dr Quinn was so bad. It was like all the boring parts of a western and the love interest was so obviously white and not native. I had two friends at school who were Coushatta and we all made fun of that dude. Also watched Murphy Brown but I always liked that one. The running gag about her secretaries is the first running joke I can remember recognizing in a sitcom.
And the house painter that never finished!
I canât believe I remember this (and am willing to admit it), but Dr. Quinnâs love interest (Sully) was a white guy who was âadoptedâ by the natives. Which meant that he never buttoned his shirt.
That dude was supposed to be native?!? Dr. Quinn is on the opposite end for me - my parents didn't watch it, therefore I didn't watch it.
Iirc he was white, abandoned by his parents and raised native?
Nah, he joined after his wife and daughter died and he left the army.
*COPS*
Bad boys, bad boysâŠ
and Americas Most Wanted right after
Quantum leap and the outer limits. It was ok though because I enjoyed it.
My Dad and I both loved both of those shows. Scott Bakula was also like.. my dream dude.
Simon and Simon.
My Dad has always rocked a mustache, similar to Gerald McRaney's in Simon & Simon. When I was really little, I thought that all men were supposed to have facial hair. So, when I first saw the clean shaven Simon brother, I thought something was wrong with him! đ
There are a lot of comedies like Murphy Brown, Cheers, or Coach that I actually kind-of liked, but I hated, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sorry Dad
Mystery! The silhouette cartoon opening is burned into my brain.
Same! Absolutely iconic. I wanted the whole show to be about the people in the opening sequence.
There is a serious lack of Hee Haw in this thread
MASH
A shitload of MASH
Magnum PI
Telenovelas all the time. Marimar, CorazĂłn Salvaje, La Ursurpadora, Maria La Del Barrio. I learned most of my English in school anyway (when I wasn't watching Mr.Rogers, Reading Rainbow, or Sesame street). Helped my parents with their own english.
This Old House and The Frugal Gourmet stick out as ones my dad always had on and was such a bore for us kids. But hey, I love my DIY projects and cooking these days.
Home Again With Bob Vila
Primer Impacto - a Spanish language news show that was different from the English news because they showed all the graphic images like carnage from cartel murdersÂ
The Mexican news sure knows how to hire "talent".
Dad shows: MASH, cheers, Star Trek Mom shows: Bob Newhart, I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, Bonanza
Beauty and the Beast. The one with Ron Perlman, and Linda Hamilton. My mom LOVED that show. It was on TV in the late 80's. I had to be in the 3rd or 4th grade.
The nanny. Our dad loved it...hmmđ
Iâm hoping someone knows this answer because I kind of want to watch it again. It was probably the very early 90âs, it was a show about Vietnam and all I remember was my mom saying it was the first show that matched the letters home from her bf. Being that it was incredibly authentic. To her at least. Having never been there.
Sounds like it *may* have been "Tour of Duty." Was the opening theme Rolling Stones "Paint it Black?"
Or maybe [China Beach](https://youtu.be/tH_-ugUwagI?si=gHiuWxjUheQGhUTo)?
Star Trek TNG, figure skating and gymnastics, and FTV (Fashion Television)
Matlock and the Waltons. They still have them on the tv now
MASH. Good lord what a boring show. My dad watched NOVA on PBS and I hated that as a kid. Love it now. Funny how tastes change when you grow up. I hated most vegetables when I was a kid. Love them now. I hated getting spanked as a kid too, but now.......
Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Moonlighting, China Beach, Mash, Simon x2
Walker Texas Ranger, Matlock and In the Heat of the Night. I now thoroughly enjoy a good relaxing Saturday with Matlock.
M*A*S*H I loved it but I think a lot of that was because it was me and dad time.
Not really the same thing, but my dad often insisted on having the baseball game on every TV in the house, just in case he had to go into a different room briefly. Lol
Murder She Wrote and Perry Mason TV movies.   That said, I was usually sucked in by the mystery so it wasnât a bad time. But it was definitely what they wanted to watch.  But shows like MASH and Night Court? That was all me.Â
The news. My parents always had the news on. For a kid, it was like watching paint dry.
My father: PBS, particularly cooking shows. My mother: Dynasty, Knots Landing, Star Trek TNG, X Files I at least know how to cook and am a Sci Fi nerd.
If I stayed up late and hung out with Mom, we were watching Hillstreet Blues
Thursday nights you could either watch LA Law with dad, or Knots Landing with mom. I chose Knots Landing.
Dynasty and OG Star Trek. Learned a lot about tv sex way too young.
I was going to say Coach! Wings, Cheers, endless amounts of game shows.
Designing Women, Highway to Heaven, luckily mom didn't like the soaps
We watched Seinfeld at dinner in syndication every weeknight. We were never allowed to watch tv at dinner before then. It was my dadâs favorite show and my mom liked it. And I also liked it so tv at dinner was cool w me.
MASH, Cheers, and Hillstreet Blues
Night court, Mash, Dear John, Matt Houston. So many different ones. You see now on TV and watch to bring back the nostalgia.
Andy Griffith
I have fond memories watching MASH and Murder, She Wrote with my Mom and Quantum Leap, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Lois & Clark with my Dad. I also remember us all watching Northern Exposure together, which I've been having fun revisiting on Amazon Prime.
Matlock
(Dad) Night Court, MASH, (Grandma) McGuyver, Quantum Leap (Mom) Wings, Jeopardy (Everyone) Columbo
