The all-time greatest "ancient TV show" after the first two seasons of STAR TREK is COLUMBO and those two are leagues above the rest (WKRP is a dark horse third). Columbo was a formula, sure, but what a damn satisfying formula. Peter Falk lives in TV Valhalla.https://twitter.com/AliceFromQueens/status/1435752581997936644 …

I refuse to define shows I saw in their original run as "ancient," at least so long as I'm still in my forties.

I've got a month of my forties left and I am not ready for the old age home. In related news, I watched Matlock and Murder, She Wrote when they were new on the air.

I can remember watching Little House, the Odd Couple, Benson, the Muppet Show, and my mom watching The Waltons & Lou Grant. I remember when every kid in school but me had a Happy Days lunchbox.

I’ll never forget the first time Robin Williams was on Happy Days (as Mork). The world changed a little bit that night.

I remember sitting through commercial breaks waiting to see where the General Lee would land.

I hated that show. Even as a kid it came off as “what a bunch of Hollywood dweebs think about the South.”

I wasn't a huge fan, but then, I'd never been further South than the Jersey Shore at that age. We sometimes watched Barney Miller. My NYPD dad always said it was the most realistic cop show.
