I will go with NBC because the network only had two good shows during that era. Sanford and Son and Different Strokes. All the other shows from 70-79 were Garbage.


Chico and the Man
Bonanza
Adam-12
Rockford Files
Police Woman
Little House on the Prairie
Columbo
Lawrence Welk
Quincy
Grady


The list goes on. So NBC was defintely a network to stay away from in the 70's.

NBC

I'd say NBC. I barely remeber any NBC sitcoms from the 70's aside from Sanford & Son. The 70's, especially the late 70's, belonged to ABC:

Welcome back Kotter
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
Three's Company
Soap
Mork & Mindy
Taxi
Charlie's Angels
Love Boat
Starsky & Hutch
Vegas
What's Happening
Fantasy Island

NBC, can't think of anything NBC aired besides Diff'rent Strokes, Sanford and Facts Of Life in the 1970's.

Facts of Life was more of a 80's it premeired in the summer of 1979

NBC. ABC had Three's Company, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Welcome Back, Kotter, Barney Miller, ect. It was defintely the better of the two.

NBC was dead until the mid-80s.

I meant to say "trash" instead of dead.

Because besides Sanford & Son (trash, literally) all there was was trash.

Yeah during the 70's NBC will always be known two shows, Chico and The Man and Sanford and Son.

NBC had the worst shows in the 70's easily.

NBC was in bad shape in the 70s. Besides Sanford and Son the only humor show it had in the first 1/2 of the decade that got any kind of decent rating was Flip Wilson and for a short while Laugh-In. In the second half it only had Chico and the Man and Diff'rent Strokes. Even the dramas were not all that memorable, except for Ironside, the mystery movie franchise, Little House on the Prairie, Bionic Woman and Quincy NBC had a bunch of very low rated duds on its lineups.

NBC

By the way, does anyone remember "Super Train"???

Definitely NBC. There weren't really many memorable shows from NBC during the 70's...the only ones that come to mind at the moment are Sanford & Son, Chico & the Man, The Flip Wilson Show, and Diff'rent Strokes (which I consider more of an 80's show). Oh, and the The Rockford Files and Columbo. ABC, on the other hand, had a lot of memorable shows, especially towards the end of the decade.

I never saw the show but it was considered one of the most expensive failures in TV History. Ran from Feb of 1979 to July of 1979

Since NBC ranks third on my list of best networks of the 1970s, I'll say NBC. But I have some favorite shows from that decade that aired on that channel.

Columbo
McMillan and Wife
McCloud
Sanford and Son
Chico and the Man
Adam-12
Night Gallery
Quincy, M.E.

Not much.

NBC defintely focused on dramas instead of Comedy in the 70's
