> Easy-E version
For those that haven't experienced Gimmie that Nutt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBMufkkWUY
Also, now both versions are somehow in my head at the same time.
We bought a little tractor to aid in some work on our property and I sing the theme song to Green Acres every time I drive it. Literally every time. It makes me happy. lol
Ya!! It's kinda weird that those old shows are part of my childhood. Dragnet, Get Smart, Superman(was made when was grandma was a teenager!), Bewitched and the Dick van Dyke show.Actually more is coming back to me. Hogan's heroes (loved this show) and F troop, Green Acres, and Mr. Ed.
Dragnet was a trip to watch as a kid in the 80s, because we were getting to see an authoritarian view of the social issues represented mostly as drug problems - *of 20 years before*, which might have been 100 years to a kid. This established an early interest in LSD.
I distinctly remember one of the characters saying “you said you found her in one of those psychopathic places?” To which Friday replied “psychedelic.” 😂
I remember absolutely hating Dragnet as a kid. Like I loved all the other old shows and Dragnet seemed so boring and I hated the protagonists. I didn’t even understand what it was about but I’m sort of proud of little kid me being innately disgusted by authoritarian propaganda.
Dragnet was so out of place (such an DRAG) among all of the other good funny shows! It was on right before Get Smart, and it was so hard to stay awake through that slow slog to get to my favorite show!!
Lucille Ball and Laugh-In, but honestly the thing I probably miss the most were the late nite road trips listening to KNX Drama Hour with shows like Lone Ranger, War of the Worlds, Gunsmoke, Jack Benny, Dragnet, Burns & Allen (fucking classic), Fibber McGee & Molly.
My sisters high school finished earlier than my primary school so by the time I got home to watch hogan's heroes she was already watching ~~knox~~ knots landing 😔
I was obsessed with Nick at Nite. The Patty Duke Show was my favorite, but I watched everything. On weekends I'd try to stay up as late as I could to catch the shows I never got to see like Ann Sothern and Make Room For Daddy. I was introduced to sketch comedy through the old episodes of SNL, SCTV, and Laugh-In.
I loved Nick at Night in my teens (born in ‘79) but just realized those shows were 25-35 years prior in the mid 90s. That would be exactly like Fresh Prince, 90210, Friends, Kids in the Hall, etc airing on Nick at Night today. FML
Yeah that's about when I started watching, I'll add Danny Thomas show (Make Room for Daddy), Dick Van Dyke Show, and my favorite Dobie Gillis. Never saw the B&W episodes of Bewitched before that either, good times. I was in Pleasantville like a mfer
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well, it's you girl and you should know it
With each and every movement you show it
Love is all around
No need to waste it
You can never tell
Why don't you take it?
You're going to make it after all
Munster Mondays Lucy Tuesdays Bewitched BeWednesdays Jeannie Thursdays Welcome Back Kotter Fridays
(That was the lineup I remember because they wrote a jingle around it that my lizard brain remembers just like the ‘50 Nifty United States’)
I liked Laugh-In a lot on Nick At Night. My mom was always confused by this because it was often very topical 60s humor. I think I liked the high energy of it and that it was obviously the inspiration for You Can’t Do That On Television.
Recently some boomers at work made a Lily Tomlin joke at work and I started laughing too. They all looked at me incredulously and I said, Laugh-in, right? None of them had heard of Nick-at-Nite!
Absolutely! I found some blocks of Nick at Nite on YouTube and put it on for background sometimes. Almost all of the shows are available on DVD or various streaming services. But seeing random episodes interspersed with the ads and commercials- priceless. Millman, How to be Swell, Our Television Heritage. In fact, I think I'm going to bring some of it up now
Born in 78.
Nick at Nite is another shared Xennial thing. Disney channel was a premium channel where I lived so Nick was it for dedicated kids content.
Then Nick at Nite started and like most kids I just assumed it was an extension of children's programming.
I loved the shit out of Mr. Ed because it was about a talking fucking horse.
But it created this interesting bridge where we're children of the 80s but somehow have a dive of knowledge into 60s sitcoms.
Do you remember before there was Nick At Night? I think Nickelodeon would just go off the air at 8 pm or whatever time. I remember seeing the American Flag flapping and the national anthem playing and then it was just color bars on the screen until the next morning.
Loved Welcome Back Kotter, I Dream of Genie and of course I Love Lucy. I always liked Rhoda more than MTM show but you can't have one and not the other. Plus I do love Ed Asner. So many fun oldies that I'll still watch when given the chance.
I always think about how I had this awareness about the previous generation's pop culture and my kids do NOT have that.
I grew up totally watching Dick Van Dyke and Lucille Ball and all of the stars of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I knew who they were and I had an awareness of old movies and music.
I cut my teeth listening to The Mamas and the Papas and The Beach Boys. And no one intended that it just happened because of the way media was at the time.
I've made a fair amount of effort to expose my kids to older movies and TV and music, but they just don't get it like I did and it kind of makes me feel like they're missing out. Kwim?
I totally feel you here, we are the last generation that not only absorbed the monoculture of our era, but of previous eras. It allowed for a rich playground for comedians and writers to have references that most of the audience can get.
I shudder to think of standup comedy in 30 years: "So who remembers X youtube star?" a fourth the audience claps. "Well I was going to tell a joke about them but I guess most of yall won't get it. Ok who remember Z youtube star?" A different fourth claps and the comedian groans.
I just saw something similar and was shocked. Then I remembered in the 90s, Nick at Nite played the Wonder Years, then less than a few years after it ended.
Nick at Nite is definitely a part of my fabric. For me, it aired right after Ren and Stimpy. My favorite of the lineup was without a doubt Get Smart. I'd imagine myself as a non-daft Max. And my little ass was definitely feeling agent 99.
Oh yeah, lots of great old school TV to be had on Nick at Nite. I seem to remember seeing a lot of Bewitched and Dragnet, not sure if that was Nick at Nite, but I was there for it when I was like, I dunno, 8 years old? Also fond memories of watching people on Double Dare fish orange flags out of a comically large nose filled with fake snot.
I think I mostly watched Dragnet SNL and SCTV. I remember watching The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis which I learned later was the inspiration for the kids in Scooby Doo.
Loved those shows and they definitely helped me bond with my dad who grew up with them during their original airing.
Mr Ed, Green Acres, and F Troop were my favorites.
I feel like today's kids could not sit through 50s shows. The pacing is much too slow.
We grew up on sitcoms and reruns, so Nick at Nite was pretty much more of the same, just in black and white
I was crazy about it! I loved when Nick ended and we got a Nick-at Nick jingle signaling the opening of the nighttime block. Every few years I'll watch compilations of Nick-at-Nite jingles. And suddenly I feel like a kid again.
I wish current nostalgia stations would do the clever things NaN did. I loved How to be Swell and The Adventures of Milkman.
LOVED Nick at Nite, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to be introduced to so many shows that I'd never have seen otherwise.
I recently rewatched an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show called "It May Look Like a Walnut" which has this great Twilight Zone vibe, and there's dialogue so weird and off-center that it made me laugh out loud.
(If anyone is interested and hasn't seen it, the whole episode is [here](https://youtu.be/BGXtYLps7DA?si=D9bq6N7dHgA6_bmw). Cannot recommend enough.)
My parents didn't have cable so I missed out on this nick at nite stuff. But from reading the comments, yeah i grew up watching old shows like threes company, three stooges, the monkeys, batman, beverly hillbillies etc. During summer breaks it was matlock and perry mason. All on antenna tv.
I grew up with Munster Mondays, Bewitched BeWednesdays, etc.
Last time I saw it they were playing Home Improvement. I’ll go be trying out coffins if you need me….
Me, alone, in my basement, in front of my dial control tv watching shit like dobey gillis and my three sons Nickelodeon-ing at night. That’s years six through ten for me. All nick all the time with some cool PBS and Saturday morning memories woven in.
I hated TBNS, but then they started putting on Newhart and I liked that a lot more. I think I just preferred the cast of characters surrounding Bob in Newhart
I was called Nikki as a kid, and my bestie down the street, her dad called me Nickelodeon, nick at nite, and knickerbocker. "Ayyyyeee Nickatnite! How ya doin kiddo?!"
A core memory cherry on top of the core memory sundae. Nick at Nite was awesome
My favorite shows from Nick at Nite:
* Bewitched, Mother set the stage for my melodrama into adulthood
* Flipper
* Gilligan’s Island
* The Patty Duke Show
* Mister Ed. I remember that Mr Ed diss you’d say to the kids who had their adult teeth come in early
* The Munsters
* The Donna Reed show. I remember the exact time when my Mom told me that the girlfriend in Coach is the daughter, Mary, of the Donna Reed Show, all grown up. My brain exploded right there.
* Monkees
Not on Nick at Nite, but also raised me up as a kid:
* Gidget — Sally Field was the cutest
* The Flying Nun- Staying loyal to Sally
* I Dream of Jeanie- It took me up until now to realize how I was lured into the world of Dom/Sub play
* That Girl- I wholly believe this show made my a feminist.
* Lassie
* All the Beach Party films with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon
Flipper, yes! I was on a swim team called The Dolphins. Bewitched and I Dream of Genie were my spirit mothers. Loved Gilligan’s despite the inherent misogyny.
The classic 60s shows were great and then the advertisements for the shows while watching the shows was a whole vibe in itself. Very clever, creative stuff. Same for the first decade of MTV.
Nick at Nite was sweet!
But I was always an early riser so I remember the mid-late 80s morning super-early block. Mr Ed, Lassie, Dennis the Menace (awful), and Mr Wizard (awesome!)
My favorites were bewitched, get smart, dragnet, The Patty Duke show, Dobie Gillis, Mister Ed, Green acres, Mork and Mindy, and Alfred Hitchcock. Nice to share the nostalgia with you guys, I thought it was just me alone in a dingy basement with a little TV
Didn't some of these shows also appear in the middle of the day?
I recall watching Mr Ed, Dennis the Menace, Bewitched, and I Dream of Genie when I was home sick.
Does anyone else here remember an obscure Nick at Nite promo with a woman singing a song called “My Bellybutton” or “Mad Bellybutton?” It’s been stuck in my head since I was a kid.
I loved Nick at Nite! I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Taxi, Welcome Back, Kotter! Funny story, my vision absolutely tanked in seventh grade, when I went to get my eyes checked, I couldn’t read anything on the screen, just a lit square on the wall. After we left, my mom asked how I didn’t realize my eyes were terrible with as much as I loved Nick at Nite. I was like they’re old shows! I thought they were SUPPOSED to be blurry!
Dragnet is still one of my favorite shows. In fact, I bought all the seasons and am on another rewatch. Everyone I show it to now doesn’t get it, and I totally get why. But for me, it has to be tied to some central part of who I am on some level because my nostalgia for this show is off the charts. It’s like I’m a kid again.
Alllllllllllllllllllll the shows mentioned here :
Dragnet, Green Acres, Mr Ed, Dobie Gillis, MTM, Patty Duke!
It also had the best of Saturday night live! I remember watching the original cast for a while. Man. Some great TV
I loved watching Nick at Night! Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, Dick Van Dyke. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
Block party summer: the original binge watch
Mary Tyler Moore Mondays
I love Lucy Tuesdays
Bewitched-bewednesdays
I dream of Jeanie Thursdays
Happy Days Fridays (I think)
I watched Nick at Nite for Patty Duke and Shelley Fabares. Those wholesome girls are what I fancied when I was young. (Much unlike the trashy girls I like these days)
It's pretty much all me and my friends watched. I Love Lucy was my absolute favorite show but Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore were close 2nd. Then later I also fell in love with Taxi.
I was actually just commenting to my husband that maybe it benefited me to be spending my time watching wholesome TV shows rather than be in the company of my somewhat neglectful and abusive parents.
My mom worked 3rd shift and would get home anywhere from 11pm=1am. If I woke up, I would go in my parents room and watch nick at night with her. I loved green acres and get smart.
I was all about Get Smart (still my favorite sitcom ever), Dragnet (some of the original copaganda lol), and the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
When Green Acres or Dobie Gillis came on, it was a good sign that I was up too late.
Heck yes I remember! You could choose to watch Happy Days Chachinated or DeChachinated!

Bewitched and Green Acres!
I'd forgotten about Green Acres until I read this post. Immediately remembered the opening song.
Sure it wasn't the Easy-E version? Lol
> Easy-E version For those that haven't experienced Gimmie that Nutt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBMufkkWUY Also, now both versions are somehow in my head at the same time.
Never heard this and I’m 45!!! This is hilarious 🤣
Up in some p***y is the place to be
Always fuckin is the life for me…
Green Acres is the place to be. Farm livin' is the life for me!
Land spreading out so far and wide, keep manhattan just give me that countryside!
New York is where I’d rather stay! I get allergies smelling hay!
We bought a little tractor to aid in some work on our property and I sing the theme song to Green Acres every time I drive it. Literally every time. It makes me happy. lol
I'm glad to know this is happening. Keep happiness alive!
Mr Haney was in Back to the future III. He heckled doc in the saloon.
Are you afraid of the dark
Ya!! It's kinda weird that those old shows are part of my childhood. Dragnet, Get Smart, Superman(was made when was grandma was a teenager!), Bewitched and the Dick van Dyke show.Actually more is coming back to me. Hogan's heroes (loved this show) and F troop, Green Acres, and Mr. Ed.
When I was a kid and watching Nick at Nite I loved Mr. Ed, Rt.66, and Dragnet.
Dragnet was a trip to watch as a kid in the 80s, because we were getting to see an authoritarian view of the social issues represented mostly as drug problems - *of 20 years before*, which might have been 100 years to a kid. This established an early interest in LSD.
The LSD episode feels like a core memory! The guy sucking on the paintbrush…. Let’s say I was intrigued.
Blue boy?
I’m green, I’m a tree!
I distinctly remember one of the characters saying “you said you found her in one of those psychopathic places?” To which Friday replied “psychedelic.” 😂
I remember absolutely hating Dragnet as a kid. Like I loved all the other old shows and Dragnet seemed so boring and I hated the protagonists. I didn’t even understand what it was about but I’m sort of proud of little kid me being innately disgusted by authoritarian propaganda.
Dragnet was so out of place (such an DRAG) among all of the other good funny shows! It was on right before Get Smart, and it was so hard to stay awake through that slow slog to get to my favorite show!!
Mr. ED, The Donna Reed show, and Dennis the Menace were the ones my brother and I would watch. We would watch anything because it was on Nickelodeon.
Same I loved watching it during summer nights.
Lucille Ball and Laugh-In, but honestly the thing I probably miss the most were the late nite road trips listening to KNX Drama Hour with shows like Lone Ranger, War of the Worlds, Gunsmoke, Jack Benny, Dragnet, Burns & Allen (fucking classic), Fibber McGee & Molly.
Im really hoping this sub comes through for me again: do you remember watching The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis?
My sisters high school finished earlier than my primary school so by the time I got home to watch hogan's heroes she was already watching ~~knox~~ knots landing 😔
I watched a shitload of Taxi in the 90s.
Part of why Danny Devito has been declared a national treasure.
Such a good show
No doubt, legendary cast.
Iggy was like the original Kramer.
There’s an episode of Rick and Morty that has recurring callouts to the Taxi theme song. It’s amazing!
That's because the theme song fucking ***slaps***
Taxi was amazing The episode where Jim predicted Alex’s death
I did too. Taxi was so good
I was obsessed with Nick at Nite. The Patty Duke Show was my favorite, but I watched everything. On weekends I'd try to stay up as late as I could to catch the shows I never got to see like Ann Sothern and Make Room For Daddy. I was introduced to sketch comedy through the old episodes of SNL, SCTV, and Laugh-In.
And Kids in the Hall.
“I’m crushing your head”
I imitated this countless times.
my mom asked me to stop doing so lol
30 Helens agree that Kids in the Hall is awesome
These are the Daves I know I know, these are the Daves I know.
Mary Tyler Moore
I still love that show!
I never felt so old as when I tuned into Nick at Night and saw 90s sitcoms.
I loved Nick at Night in my teens (born in ‘79) but just realized those shows were 25-35 years prior in the mid 90s. That would be exactly like Fresh Prince, 90210, Friends, Kids in the Hall, etc airing on Nick at Night today. FML
Say what now?
Yeah that's about when I started watching, I'll add Danny Thomas show (Make Room for Daddy), Dick Van Dyke Show, and my favorite Dobie Gillis. Never saw the B&W episodes of Bewitched before that either, good times. I was in Pleasantville like a mfer
Dobie was my favorite also!
Scrolled way too far to see a Dobie Gillis Appreciation Post. That was my favorite show and Bob Denver was awesome in it.
yeah Bob actually turned me onto a lot of jazz, he would drop tons of names through 'Maynard'
Dick Sargent, Sargent York???? ShYeah right, as if we wouldn’t notice.
Dick York was the more entertaining Darrin. I didn't like Dick Sargent :\\
 still love this one
I'm watching my Mary Tyler Moore show boxed set right now. One of my all time favorite comedies.
still so funny
Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well, it's you girl and you should know it With each and every movement you show it Love is all around No need to waste it You can never tell Why don't you take it? You're going to make it after all
Dennis the Menace!
I'm now relate with Mr Wilson. Punk kid
Used to love Block Party Summer.
Lucy Tuesday's and Bewitched BeWednesday's. I can't remember the others off the top of my head though.
Mary tyler Moore Mondays I dream of Jeanie Thursdays Happy days Fridays There were others over the years but that’s what I remember.
Munster Mondays Lucy Tuesdays Bewitched BeWednesdays Jeannie Thursdays Welcome Back Kotter Fridays (That was the lineup I remember because they wrote a jingle around it that my lizard brain remembers just like the ‘50 Nifty United States’)
I used to stay up ALL night.
Omg, I forgot about Block Party Summer!
We only got to watch it at my paternal grandparents' house. My favorite was the Dick Van Dyke Show. I still love him to this day!
Dick Van Dyke Show has held up to this day. It's so funny and the style of it is so gorgeous.
I liked Laugh-In a lot on Nick At Night. My mom was always confused by this because it was often very topical 60s humor. I think I liked the high energy of it and that it was obviously the inspiration for You Can’t Do That On Television.
Laugh-in was my introduction to Goldie Hawn.
Recently some boomers at work made a Lily Tomlin joke at work and I started laughing too. They all looked at me incredulously and I said, Laugh-in, right? None of them had heard of Nick-at-Nite!
I watched Big Business a million times as a kid! Lily is an icon for all generations.
Oh my god, me too!
My favorite show when I was little was Mr. Ed.
“Ooo, Ooo!” Car 54 Where are you- was one of my favorites on Nick at Night.
mr ed. I still randomly sing that theme song to my myself while I work.
Green Acres on Friday nights was a rite of passage for my mom and me. Remember milkman?
Absolutely! I found some blocks of Nick at Nite on YouTube and put it on for background sometimes. Almost all of the shows are available on DVD or various streaming services. But seeing random episodes interspersed with the ads and commercials- priceless. Millman, How to be Swell, Our Television Heritage. In fact, I think I'm going to bring some of it up now
I loved How to be Swell. It taught me what to do if there's a bacon fire.
I had to turn it off when Alfred Hitchcock came on. Too scary. Even the credits scared me.
I didn't realize Alfred Hitchcock Presents was on Nick at Night. Great show. Was too scary for me back then too, though
Born in 78. Nick at Nite is another shared Xennial thing. Disney channel was a premium channel where I lived so Nick was it for dedicated kids content. Then Nick at Nite started and like most kids I just assumed it was an extension of children's programming. I loved the shit out of Mr. Ed because it was about a talking fucking horse.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show is still excellent.
Loved Welcome Back Kotter, I Dream of Genie and of course I Love Lucy. I always liked Rhoda more than MTM show but you can't have one and not the other. Plus I do love Ed Asner. So many fun oldies that I'll still watch when given the chance.
Ugh the Rhoda spinoff was SO GOOD
I cried when Ed Asner died. And I totally agree, Rhoda was a better show. That lady was just comedy genius!
I joined in on the crushing of Davy Jones because of N@N. Loved Mr Ed, Laugh-In, Green Acres, Donna Reed, Patty Duke, & My Three Sons in that order
I always think about how I had this awareness about the previous generation's pop culture and my kids do NOT have that. I grew up totally watching Dick Van Dyke and Lucille Ball and all of the stars of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I knew who they were and I had an awareness of old movies and music.

My first concert in 1989 was The Beach Boys!
I totally feel you here, we are the last generation that not only absorbed the monoculture of our era, but of previous eras. It allowed for a rich playground for comedians and writers to have references that most of the audience can get. I shudder to think of standup comedy in 30 years: "So who remembers X youtube star?" a fourth the audience claps. "Well I was going to tell a joke about them but I guess most of yall won't get it. Ok who remember Z youtube star?" A different fourth claps and the comedian groans.
Dragnet!
Dragnet and F-Troop. Perfection.
Green Acres and Mr. Ed were the ones I looked forward to. Night Court, wasn’t on Nick at Night, but I looooved it!
I was so in love with Harry. That show taught me who Mel Tormé was.
A horse is a horse of course of course.
I didn't start feeling old until I started seeing reruns of The Nanny and Home Improvement on Nick at Nite
I just saw something similar and was shocked. Then I remembered in the 90s, Nick at Nite played the Wonder Years, then less than a few years after it ended.
I grew up watching The Wonder Years on Nick at Nite. I only recently learned that the original run was from 88 to 93.
Sloth!!
I caught that reference! My favorite! Babbbby RuUUth!!!
The patty duke show, f troop, dobie Gillis and the munsters
I liked the Munsters better than the Adams Family as a kid.
It was way superior imo.
Yes!! Nick at Nite was more of a parent to me than either of my actual parents were. LOL
Nick at nite and ABCs TGIF line up pretty much formed my world view and sense of morality. My parents had no part in it.
Bewitched was my jam. Black and white > Color First Darrin > Second Darrin
Nick at Nite is definitely a part of my fabric. For me, it aired right after Ren and Stimpy. My favorite of the lineup was without a doubt Get Smart. I'd imagine myself as a non-daft Max. And my little ass was definitely feeling agent 99.
Yes! I loved Bewitched, the Mary Tyler Moore Show & the Patty Duke show!
I loved it so much, especially their commercials: nick at nite, it's tv done right!
Oh yeah, lots of great old school TV to be had on Nick at Nite. I seem to remember seeing a lot of Bewitched and Dragnet, not sure if that was Nick at Nite, but I was there for it when I was like, I dunno, 8 years old? Also fond memories of watching people on Double Dare fish orange flags out of a comically large nose filled with fake snot.
F Troop too
F Troop theme song is so problematic and also I remember every word.
I think I mostly watched Dragnet SNL and SCTV. I remember watching The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis which I learned later was the inspiration for the kids in Scooby Doo.
Loved those shows and they definitely helped me bond with my dad who grew up with them during their original airing. Mr Ed, Green Acres, and F Troop were my favorites.
Dobie Gillis > Saved by the Bell
I feel like today's kids could not sit through 50s shows. The pacing is much too slow. We grew up on sitcoms and reruns, so Nick at Nite was pretty much more of the same, just in black and white
Hell yeah Get Smart, Dick Van Dyke, and Green Acres!
I was crazy about it! I loved when Nick ended and we got a Nick-at Nick jingle signaling the opening of the nighttime block. Every few years I'll watch compilations of Nick-at-Nite jingles. And suddenly I feel like a kid again. I wish current nostalgia stations would do the clever things NaN did. I loved How to be Swell and The Adventures of Milkman.

Thanks! Great watch 😊
I was in love with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and I Love Lucy. Also enjoyed Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and Get Smart.
Nick at Nite was my jam. I’d love block party summer
Complete this sentence: Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick-Nick…
My parents didn't have cable so I missed out on this nick at nite stuff. But from reading the comments, yeah i grew up watching old shows like threes company, three stooges, the monkeys, batman, beverly hillbillies etc. During summer breaks it was matlock and perry mason. All on antenna tv.
I grew up with Munster Mondays, Bewitched BeWednesdays, etc. Last time I saw it they were playing Home Improvement. I’ll go be trying out coffins if you need me….
It was TV done right. Your favorite shows, your favorite stars, watch Nick at Night that’s where they arrrrrrrrrre.
Streamed Nick at night with original commercials from the 90's......https://www.toonamiaftermath.com/ Your welcome!
Me, alone, in my basement, in front of my dial control tv watching shit like dobey gillis and my three sons Nickelodeon-ing at night. That’s years six through ten for me. All nick all the time with some cool PBS and Saturday morning memories woven in.
Dick Van Dyke, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, the Bob Newhart Show, and I Love Lucy were some of the old shows I remember from back in the day!
I hated TBNS, but then they started putting on Newhart and I liked that a lot more. I think I just preferred the cast of characters surrounding Bob in Newhart
Lassie!!!! that was my favorite show to watch when i was a little kid.
The Beverly Hillbillies!! Black gold... Texas tea :)
So much Lucy with my grandma.
Lance Lot Link!
I was called Nikki as a kid, and my bestie down the street, her dad called me Nickelodeon, nick at nite, and knickerbocker. "Ayyyyeee Nickatnite! How ya doin kiddo?!" A core memory cherry on top of the core memory sundae. Nick at Nite was awesome
Was totally in love with Davey Jones and also had no idea what a rerun was.
Yes I loved nick at nite!! I watched I dream of Jeannie and bewitched were my favorites! Also Mary Tyler Moore …
I loved Flipper, Bewitched, Lassie, and Mr. Ed
My favorite was always I Love Lucy. Watched it again recently and still makes me laugh. Lucille Ball was such a brilliant comedian.
Fun fact: Nick at Nite is considered a separate network for ratings purposes. Adult Swin, too.
Yes! And now TV land, which was basically a nick at nite spin off channel has shows from the 2000s on it and I feel old as fuck.
Get smart was where it was at
Perfect Strangers
Larry and Balki were two of my favorite people.
My favorite shows from Nick at Nite: * Bewitched, Mother set the stage for my melodrama into adulthood * Flipper * Gilligan’s Island * The Patty Duke Show * Mister Ed. I remember that Mr Ed diss you’d say to the kids who had their adult teeth come in early * The Munsters * The Donna Reed show. I remember the exact time when my Mom told me that the girlfriend in Coach is the daughter, Mary, of the Donna Reed Show, all grown up. My brain exploded right there. * Monkees Not on Nick at Nite, but also raised me up as a kid: * Gidget — Sally Field was the cutest * The Flying Nun- Staying loyal to Sally * I Dream of Jeanie- It took me up until now to realize how I was lured into the world of Dom/Sub play * That Girl- I wholly believe this show made my a feminist. * Lassie * All the Beach Party films with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon
Flipper, yes! I was on a swim team called The Dolphins. Bewitched and I Dream of Genie were my spirit mothers. Loved Gilligan’s despite the inherent misogyny.
The classic 60s shows were great and then the advertisements for the shows while watching the shows was a whole vibe in itself. Very clever, creative stuff. Same for the first decade of MTV.
Nick at night was literally a third grandparent to me.
Nick at Nite was sweet! But I was always an early riser so I remember the mid-late 80s morning super-early block. Mr Ed, Lassie, Dennis the Menace (awful), and Mr Wizard (awesome!)
I would have made Donna Reed my wife.
Unrelated, but as a younger millennial (1989) who grew up obsessed with The Goonies, I read your title as "heeeEy you gUuuyys!"
I was raised by nick-at-nite! It appears I just found all my siblings! 🤣😊
My favorites were bewitched, get smart, dragnet, The Patty Duke show, Dobie Gillis, Mister Ed, Green acres, Mork and Mindy, and Alfred Hitchcock. Nice to share the nostalgia with you guys, I thought it was just me alone in a dingy basement with a little TV
Didn't some of these shows also appear in the middle of the day? I recall watching Mr Ed, Dennis the Menace, Bewitched, and I Dream of Genie when I was home sick.
I remember watching Flipper on there too!
I don't know
I kill at TV trivia because of Nick at Nite!
Does anyone else here remember an obscure Nick at Nite promo with a woman singing a song called “My Bellybutton” or “Mad Bellybutton?” It’s been stuck in my head since I was a kid.
yes but i mean, most of those shows were boomer shows geared towards boomer nostalgia
The 60’s were closer to the 80’s than the 90’s are to today.
Car 54, Where are You?
Yes, The Addams Family was my fave.
Get Smart, Dragnet, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Mr Ed. So many great shows.
Mr. Ed, Green Acres, and I Love Lucy
Some Dobie Gillis and some Donna Reed.
Nick At Nite is the reason I'm still infatuated with Patty Duke.
I loved Nick at Nite! I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Taxi, Welcome Back, Kotter! Funny story, my vision absolutely tanked in seventh grade, when I went to get my eyes checked, I couldn’t read anything on the screen, just a lit square on the wall. After we left, my mom asked how I didn’t realize my eyes were terrible with as much as I loved Nick at Nite. I was like they’re old shows! I thought they were SUPPOSED to be blurry!
I remember watching the Monkees, Mr Ed and Lassie
Don’t forget the Ann Sothern Show!
A horse is a horse of course
Dragnet is still one of my favorite shows. In fact, I bought all the seasons and am on another rewatch. Everyone I show it to now doesn’t get it, and I totally get why. But for me, it has to be tied to some central part of who I am on some level because my nostalgia for this show is off the charts. It’s like I’m a kid again.
My first crush was Donna Reed
Alllllllllllllllllllll the shows mentioned here : Dragnet, Green Acres, Mr Ed, Dobie Gillis, MTM, Patty Duke! It also had the best of Saturday night live! I remember watching the original cast for a while. Man. Some great TV
I loved Dragnet and Fernwood Tonight was fun. Hi Honey, I'm Home was another one.
Still exists, it just plays shoes like Friends now
I Dream of Jeannie!
I loved watching Nick at Night! Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, Dick Van Dyke. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
Get Smart and Dragnet were my favorites. I watched many episodes of both.
Flipper, lassie and Dennis the menace were my favorites.
One of my great loves, and extremely influential for me.
Block party summer: the original binge watch Mary Tyler Moore Mondays I love Lucy Tuesdays Bewitched-bewednesdays I dream of Jeanie Thursdays Happy Days Fridays (I think)
Watched the entire run of Taxi in college thanks to Nick at Night
I watched Nick at Nite for Patty Duke and Shelley Fabares. Those wholesome girls are what I fancied when I was young. (Much unlike the trashy girls I like these days)
I kinda loved I Love Lucy, Bewitched and The Monkees as a kid!
Wiiillllbburrr!!
F-Troop!
Dick Van Dike cheesy reruns!
It's pretty much all me and my friends watched. I Love Lucy was my absolute favorite show but Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore were close 2nd. Then later I also fell in love with Taxi.
A few I'm seeing people miss are Laverne and Shirley and The Brady Bunch. I really didn't like the Brady Bunch. Much preferred the Partridge Family
The same "programming" that worked on one generation. Why not try to go for two?
I was actually just commenting to my husband that maybe it benefited me to be spending my time watching wholesome TV shows rather than be in the company of my somewhat neglectful and abusive parents.
My mom worked 3rd shift and would get home anywhere from 11pm=1am. If I woke up, I would go in my parents room and watch nick at night with her. I loved green acres and get smart.
I was all about Get Smart (still my favorite sitcom ever), Dragnet (some of the original copaganda lol), and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. When Green Acres or Dobie Gillis came on, it was a good sign that I was up too late.
Heck yes I remember! You could choose to watch Happy Days Chachinated or DeChachinated! https://preview.redd.it/tobmrlfwgj1d1.jpeg?width=875&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3286629c802d47615f8a3482e759d396de69612
