Alice-nsi
All in the Family-love it Angie-nsi The Bad News Bears-nsi Barney Miller-nsi The Bob Newhart Show-didn't like it The Brady Bunch- it's okay Carter Country-nsi Chico and the Man- watched it occasionally a long time ago, can't remember much of it The Courtship of Eddie's Father- used to like it, still kind of like it, but I think it's kind of like the 70s answer to Full House or something The Doris Day Show-nsi Eight is Enough-nsi Fish-nsi Good Times-nsi Happy Days-it's okay Hello, Larry-nsi Here's Lucy-nsi The Jeffersons- it's okay Laverne & Shirley- it's okay Love, American Style-nsi The Love Boat-nsi M*A*S*H- can't sit through one ep. The storyline might be cool, but I just can't make my way through the laugh track. It's annoying, the laugh track. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman- it's okay Mary Tyler Moore-it's okay Maude- it's okay Mork and Mindy- it's okay Nanny and the Professor-nsi The New Dick Van Dyke Show-nsi The Odd Couple- it's okay One Day at a Time- nsi Operation Petticoat- nsi The Partridge Family- it's okay Phyllis- god, haven't seen it in years. I think it was a cool show, can't remember all that much about it though. Rhoda- it's okay Room 222- nsi The Ropers-nsi Sanford and Son- :rocks: Soap- it's okay Taxi- it's okay That's My Mama- nsi Three's Company- cool show The Tony Randall Show- nsi WKRP in Cincinnati- nsi Welcome Back, Kotter-nsi What's Happening? nsi |
