For a current favorite I'd have to say WGN's combination of Bewitched, Jeannie, Cosby Show and Becker, for past line-ups, I'd have to say the old school Fox line-up of Simpsons, Futurama and King of the Hill.

One of mine was NBC's Daytime Game Show Blocks of 1987.

Super Password
Scrabble
Sale of the Century
Classic Concentration (which replaced the 1987 revival of Blockbusters)
Wheel of Fortune
Wordplay (later replaced w/ Win, Lose or Draw)

Pretty much anything NBC had from the mid-to-late '80s and early-to-mid '90s.

Saturday night CBS - early 70's

The Mary Tyler Moore Show
The Bob Newhart Show
The Carol Burnett Show

[YardLion2009]

I would personally go for the Sitcom City block from WLVI-TV in 1990:

Perfect Strangers
Growing Pains
Who's the Boss
Night Court

[David Sugarbaker]

NBC 1993 - 1994

Mad About You
Wings
Seinfeld
Frasier

Four classics, two of them very underrated,

My second favorite is the Laverne & Shirley/Three's Company/Soap lineup. 3 more classics that rank amongst my very favorite shows.

[KurtfromPitts]

ABC Friday Night-1970-71; Brady Bunch [7:30], Nanny And The Professor [8:00], Partridge Family [8:30], That Girl [9:00], from January '71 through Fall: Odd Couple [9:30] and Love, American Style [10:00]. Too bad the promo whizzes at ABC didn't herald the lineup as TGIF.

This is easily my favourite as well, but with one minor change.

Take away Nanny and the Professor and add Room 222, which ABC did in Sept. '71, and the lineup becomes even stronger! Those are the shows which shaped my childhood. The great thing about all of them is that anyone of any age can watch them and you didn't have to worry about material which would be harmful to your kids. In other words, it had something for everybody. Plus they were lined up in such a way according to demographics so that, even though you might have a different group watching each hour, the ratings remained strong throughout the night. That's smart network management right there.





I also loved ABC's mid-70s Tuesday night lineup:

Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley/Three's Company/Soap

and NBC's mid-80s Thursday group:

Cosby Show/Family Ties/Cheers/Night Court.


There's another ABC lineup which I would have enjoyed immensely if I had only been alive a few years earlier. This occurred on Thursdays and the lineup was sadly only intact for one season, 1962-63. The shows were:


7:30 Ozzie and Harriet
8:00 Donna Reed
8:30 Leave It To Beaver (final season)
9:00 My Three Sons
9:30 McHale's Navy (first season)

Imagine seeing 4 of TV's legendary families from its early days on the same network on the same night, plus another great series right after them. TV viewers were sure luckier back then!

[GARFIELDKOOL]

Aw man! I actually got three of them! Good thread!

CBS Early 80s: Incredible Hulk-Dukes Of Hazzard- Dallas (Friday Nights)

ABC 1985: Webster-Mr. Belvedere-Different Strokes-Benson (Friday Nights)

NBC 1988: 227-Amen-Golden Girls-Empty Nest- Hunter (Saturday Nights)


Man, this was when TV was TV........my childhood!

Glad someone posted that. That was my favorite lineup, although I was only 5 when it was on, I remember it well.
