Great lineups of the past - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What day of programming, either network or cable, stands out in your mind? I'll start with these I remember from the 80s:
NBC Thursday night: Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court. Now this is how you schedule! Gentle family comedy to start off and more adult as the night goes on.
CBN weekday nights: Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, You Bet Your Life (w/Groucho) and a show of Laurel and Hardy shorts.

Off the top of my head

Friday nights on TGIF: Full House (before it's move to Tuesdays), Family Matters, Perfect Strangers.

Thursdays on FOX: The Simpsons (before it moved to Sundays), Martin, Beverly Hills 90210.

My favourite lineup ever had to be ABC's Friday lineup from the early 1970s:

Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Odd Couple, That Girl, Room 222, Love American Style

Clearly something for everyone no matter what their age or taste. This puts the ABC TGIF 1980s lineup to shame!

Others that I like and remember:

1980s: NBC Thursdays: Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court

1970s: ABC Tuesdays: Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company, Soap

CBS Saturdays: Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, All In The Family, Carol Burnett

Most underrated lineup ever: ABC Thursdays 1962-63 (before my time!

)

7:30 pm The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet
8:00 The Donna Reed Show
8:30 Leave It to Beaver
9:00 My Three Sons
9:30 McHale's Navy

It's hard to believe this group only lasted one season together. If any channel today would show this lineup I wouldn't need a remote!

I agree with ABC early 70's as both the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family are two of my favorite shows.

How about NBC's Must See TV lineup and TGIF?

mets82 · 07-06-2018, 01:39 PM

What was Real World Theater?

I'd go with TGIF or TNBC.

AMackII · 07-06-2018, 03:26 PM

mets82, Real World Theatre is the 90s MTV show that replays the early seasons of The Original Real World.
