I was introduced to the Jeffersons because of my mom because she watched it every week while she was pregnant with me and after I was born.

What is your ONE show your mom or dad got you into?

My mom got me into Highway Patrol. When the show was on in 1955-1959, she would watch when I was a baby. Decades later I see it on This Tv network .

The F.B.I. My Father would watch this on Sunday Evenings, and I liked how they told what happened to "The Bad Guys" at the end of the show.

My dad got me watching Gilligan which in turn got me into other classic shows.

There's been a lot.heres 3 though 1) Hee Haw, i was 6 in 1975 and thats around the time i can start remembering seeing it on tv, i think saturday nights. With only one tv and no vcr to tape it and watch something else, had to watch what they watched sometimes. 2) Guiding Light, i remember can remember epsiodes going back to 1979, i was 10.Got home from school and my mom would be watching it so i couldnt watch anything til it was over. so i started getting into that. Watched it from 1979 til it ended its run 2009, any chance i got. In 1983 when we got a vcr and a few months after for my 14th birthday my mom and dad got me a vcr too, by then i had a small tv in my room. so taped guiding light when when ever i wasnt going to be home. And 3) Wrestling, they would watch it, i seen it the first time in 1978, i was 9 and started watching it with the, 34 yrs later i still watch it. thanks to them watching it and me happening to sit and watch. some 34yrs later and over 2000 VHS tapes of wrestling and most likely about 2000 DVDS of wrestling im still hooked lol...Me being into wrestling, i met a girl in a wrestling chat room and married her. so by far wrestling, getting hooked from my mom and dad watching was the best

My dad got me to liking Mannix.

My stepmother got me into watching Days of our Lives. She watched it when I was in high school. I would watch it with her because it was either that or nothing. After she and my dad divorced, I got into watching it and now I'm hooked.

My mom got me into watching Frasier. When she started watching it, I would watch it with her but not really pay much attention. Only recently did I really get into it. I just love the show now and own every season on DVD. My mom also got me into watching The Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. I really enjoy the classic shows.

My aunt got me into watching The Golden Girls. When I would be watching Full House, she would change it to The Golden Girls. I would throw a fit of course but I finally got into the show and now I love it. My husband owns every season on DVD.

My husband recently got me into watching several shows that he watches regularly. The Wonder Years, 227, and Living Single. I did watch The Wonder Years periodically before that but now I watch it with him everyday.

Not a tv show but--
The Blondie movies were playing in the summer of 1978 and I didnt think much of it until my dad says I should watch it. That is what got me seriously interested in 30s-70s movies.

The Honeymooners. My dad loved this show and I remember watching it with him back in the 50's.

boechsner · 08-26-2012, 12:15 PM

Only one? Well in that case, my mom got me into watching Dallas.

UMFaninMD · 08-26-2012, 01:48 PM

Definitely soaps. I lived with my grandparents and when I was home during the day, I watched them with my grandmother. She was an NBC soap fan, but the one that we really enjoyed above them all was Days of Our Lives. My grandfather would come home on his lunch break to watch it.

Fleet · 08-27-2012, 01:43 AM

"I Love Lucy," for sure.

Also, "All in the Family."

And "Laugh-In."

Ihavealife2uknow · 08-27-2012, 03:57 AM

The Andy Griffith Show

Schmoopie · 08-27-2012, 05:37 AM

My dad got me into "Barney Miller" and my mom got me into "Little House on the Prairie"
