Do Old Shows Make You Feel Nostalgic - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was wondering if anyone feels nostalgic for their childhood
when they watch old TV shows,I sure do !

Depends on the show. If it was on when I was little and I watched it, then I sometimes feel a little nostalgic. But if it's just an old show that was on before I was born, I don't usually feel that way.

old tv shows make me feel good, (like Gilligan's Island, Gidget, Leave It To Beaver). They're so unrealistic ("gidget has a problem! she has no teen angst!") and when i am feeling depressed, i just watch TV Land and it's like medicine for me.

Nostalgic? No, I don't think so. Mostly they are just "feel good" type of shows, with few stresses, and that is why I watch them. But for the most part, they do not make me think back to my past.

Yeah shows that I used to watch when I was little like Full House, Rugrats, Jem, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all that good stuff.

I mostly watch stuff from before I was born, so I feel sort of nostalgic for a time I never lived in.

Well *sigh* No not really because none of the shows I watch were on when I was born. But whenever I watch old shows I wish they made shows like they used to. Today, imo, TV isn't as well written or well acted. There are some old TV shows that aren't on TV but I like reading about them because they sound so great. I've read about other current shows and they make me envison them as being great.

Tuesday Weld · 04-09-2003, 06:57 PM

Yes,the old shows definately make me wish for the good old days.

Mijada · 04-09-2003, 07:05 PM

Some shows do. Like Magnum PI or the Love Boat because I always used to watch those 2 shows with my siblings and cousins. Whenever I see those shows it always brings back memories.
Dawsongirl mentioned watching shows that came out before she was born and feeling nostalgic for that time. I feel like that whenever I watch Leave it to Beaver.

Pitooey · 04-09-2003, 07:46 PM

Not really...... When I look at Leave it to Beaver or older shows I just look at it for the sake of looking at it.

I do however feel nostalgic whenever I see Chico and the Man and I see Freddie Prinze. I was so in love with him back then........ As for Good times, Sanford and Son, All in the Family (Shows from the 70's) I do feel nostalgic only because I use to wear those clothes back then.

Krystal Lake · 04-09-2003, 08:53 PM

Yeah. They make me feel old.

It sends a chill up my spine when I hear Nick at Nite refer to shows from my childhood as "Modern TV classics "

They're classics? Damn. When the hell did that happen? When I think of Classic TV I think of 'I love Lucy' and 'Bewitched.' You know...real old shows.

I do! I feel nolstagic watching any of my shows, or if I hear a certain song.

Not really unless I can watch it the same way I did then (VHS tape) -- Watching digitally does nothing for me........
