TVFactFan · 01-10-2003, 09:35 PM

I wanted to know if anyone was born in 1980 or after, do you like these shows.

1.All in the Family
2.Sanford and Son
3.Jeffersons
4.Three's Company
5.Good Times
6.Happy Days

The reason I asked is because i fid that a lot of people who are 23 and under really don't pay attention to these 1970 Sitcoms. So i would like to know if someone was born in the 80's, do you like any of the shows above.

I don't really care for Happy Days. The others I've just seen bits and pieces of. It's not that I don't like them, its just that I've never really watched them.

So you were born in the 80's and if so-you didn't watch those shows in syndication?

DarleneIllyria · 01-10-2003, 10:04 PM

I was born in 1984. I like
1.All in the Family- Tied favorite
2.Sanford and Son- Tied favorite- I can't decide which one I like best.
3.Jeffersons- The show was okay with the first Lionel, but hated it when the second one stepped into the show.
4.Three's Company- I'd watch it if it came on earlier instead of at 3 in the morning.
5.Good Times- Never really watched it
6.Happy Days- I like it. I don't like it as much as I like AITF or S & S.

So u were born in 84? That's a first because most people born in 84 would not give those shows a second look.

Yep, I was born May 25, 1984. I don't even know if you should count me because I always loved older stuff. In middle school all my friends used to tease me because I loved 80s music. I was the only one that could probably list you a whole list of 80s musicians. I didn't know a damn thing about the current music when I was in middle school. I liked a few current musicians, but I preferred the 80s any day.

I grew up watching the older shows and I just stuck with that instead of watching newer shows. I might be stuck in the past. lol Like, I bet you five bucks if my parents liked current stuff when I was younger- I prob. wouldn't like any old show. I just grew up watching Sanford & Son, TAGS etc on TBS and N @ N. I think that's why I still like the older stuff because I was raised watching the stuff.

Anybody know what I'm getting at?

Sitcomwriter · 01-11-2003, 12:19 AM

1.All in the Family-It's a classic!
2.Sandford and Son-It's only ok.
3.Jeffersons-I'll only watch it if nothing else is on
4.Three's Company-Good show with lots of sex jokes
5.Good Times-Boring
6.Happy Days-It's only ok.

Brian · 01-11-2003, 12:33 AM

I've never seen a full episode of either "Good Times" or "Three's Company" but I like the other shows listed. If only I had enough time to watch them. I was born in '85.

SBTB Geek · 01-11-2003, 01:04 AM

I was born in '85.

1. All In The Family- I DEFINATELY enjoy watching this. I try to catch it every night, as well as "Archie Bunker's Place."
2. Sanford & Son- I like it, but it's not a favorite.
3. The Jeffersons- I like it. I watch it whenever I have time.
4. Three's Company- It's in the top 3 of my favorite shows of all time. I grew up w/ "Three's Company."
5. Good Times- I never got into it.
6. Happy Days- I grew up with this show. It's on my top 10 list of favorite shows.

"Happy Days," and "Three's Company," are my favorite shows from that list. Throughout my childhood I watched their re-runs on KTTV. (L.A. FOX affiliate.)

Those two bring some good memories.

Well I was born in the latter half of 1979 but I'm 23, so I'll still answer the question. I love All in the Family but I never cared for Three's Company. I'm pretty neutral about Happy Days and I haven't seen quite enough of the others to judge them. As for other shows from the '70s, I like MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Soap, and I love Barney Miller.

Three'sCompanyrules · 01-11-2003, 03:46 AM

I was born on February 1st 1984 and I wasn't much into sitcoms until they came on N@N such as Gilligans Island, AITF and Three's Company. As far as the shows you mentioned.

1. All in the family- is my second favorite sitcom of all time. Archie is so funny and his arguments with meathead are just classic. I give AITF a 9/10!

2. SAS- There are a few episodes I can watch,but other than that it dosen't appeal to me. I give SAS a 5/10.

3. Jeffersons- is funny, its watchable for me. I give the Jeffersons a 8/10. (interesting note I have the same birthday as Mr. Jefferson)

4. Three's Company- The best show ever past present and future IMO . Every season of the show was hilarious

I can never miss an episode I'm recording every episode more than once! I give Three's Company a 10/10!

5. Good Times- I honestly never heared of this show so I won't give it a rating.

6. Happy Days- I can watch it if there is nothing else on. I give HD a 7/10.

This could be a shock to some people around my age,but I love the older sitcoms and I hate the newer ones except for Home Improvement and 8 SPR. There are two shows I just can't stand and that is Cheers and the one I hate the most is Roseanne.

Yeah, it's quite surprising for some people to realize that teenagers our age actually like old stuff. I mean, most teenagers prob. don't even know the above shows Solomon listed. Like he said about people being born in 84 prob. wouldn't give the shows a second look. That's how it is with my town. Only a few actually care about old shows. Most of them just watch the current stuff.

Actually, I was kind of thinking the same thing Solomon was. Before I came to this site, I thought most teenagers didn't like old shows. I come on here and I see 12, 13, 14 year olds talking about old shows. The old boards get more hits than the current boards. Yeah, that was a definite wake up call.

LucyFan · 01-11-2003, 06:24 AM

I was born in the 1980's.

1. "All In The Family"- This show has never really appealed to me that much due to the racist remarks Archie makes as well as all the yelling and screaming that goes on. I give it a 5.5/10 rating.

2. "Sanford and Son"- Despite the racism, I really enjoy this show and the kind the comedy it provides. I give it a 7.5/10 rating.

3. "The Jeffersons"- This show is crossed between "I Love Lucy" and "All In The Family". Naturally, the comedy part (ILL) always outwieghs the racism and yelling (AITF) in my opinion. I give it a 8.5/10 rating

4. "Three's Company"- I absolutely LOVE and adore this show. It features actors that I like as well as the comedy that is very similiar to that of Lucille Ball's. I give it a 10/10 rating.

5. "Good Times"- I have seen a few episodes of this show but it never really sparked any interest. I give it a 6/10 rating.

6. "Happy Days"- This is the most coolest sitcom in my opinion. The Fonz and the Cunninghams always rocked my world as well as touched my heart. I give it a 9.5/10 rating.

Ratings Order:
#1. 10/10- Three's Company
#2. 9.5/10- Happy Days
#3. 8.5/10- The Jeffersons
#4. 7.5/10- Sanford & Son
#5. 6.0/10- Good Times
#6. 5.5/10- All In The Family

I was born in 1983, and I have watched and enjoyed all the shows you listed at one time or another. In fact, thanks to TV Land bringing it back after the new year, I've been catching Sanford and Son as much as possible recently.

I've been watching old TV Shows hardcore since 1995, but actually, my taste skews towards slightly older stuff, such as the Dick Van Dyke Show, and I Love Lucy.

And, to show you how much of an old TV Geek I am, Nick At Nite's 1997 Block Party summer made me a Monkees fan. Yes, because of the 5 weeks of Monkee Mondays, I eventually acquired every Monkee CD that has been released... and I like 'em!

'zat answer your question?
