Been hunting up a few fun late 60s early 70s bits on youtube since I've been nostalgic the last few days.  Anybody watch "The Ghost and Mrs Muir"

How 'bout "Nanny and the Professor"?  Stumbled across the theme the other day.

About 2.5 minutes in, the terrific theme starts; what a great little jingle.  Love it. 

What are you looking at 1960s or 1970s television?

Okay, I'll have this dialogue by myself.  Early '70s THE NIGHT STALKER... I have both of the TV movies on one DVD, and just love them and recently glutted myself on them and I'm still not satisfied.  I need THE NORLISS TAPES.  The series pales, but DARREN McGAVIN is never not interesting.  "Cheryl Hughes on route to her doom... "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2H3xuhkZuY  This is a wonderful montage that's about 7 minutes.  SUPERIOR!

At least this has the music and images, can't find much thru the sludge that youtube has become.   :bluesad:

I do rather wax nostalgic when it comes to 70s television.

My mind id blanking on a lot of shows right now; probably because I have been spending a bit of time collating resources to put together a directory of 70s television shows for one of my sites.

I've picked up a copy of Epi-log magazine dedicated to Sci-Fi shows, and includes episode guides for Gemini Man and Planet of the Apes.

Found a copy of Starlog no. 9, which has features on shows from the times including Wonder Woman, Man From Atlantis, and Logan's Run.

Also found a copy of Twilight Zone Magazine that has a complete episode guide for Night Gallery.

Can't live without episodes of Charlie's Angels. Cheryl Ladd was my favorite.

Ran across a DVD today of episodes of Beretta.

Ark II was a favorite of mine, and I'll eventually get the DVD set of it.

I'm not that big of a science fiction fan, not any more than anybody else, but it seems like science fiction television from the 70s really stands out for me.

There were also lots of great made for TV movies from that era. Even though budgets for these were pretty low, they usually ran the gamut from cheesy as hell to brilliant, and everything in-between, but were always entertaining. Seems like they can put a big budget behind made for TV movies today and create nothing better than a cure for insomnia.

What was my favorite part of 70s television which had nothing to do with the shows themselves? The late movie, and the late, late movie. TV had lots of movies back then, not everybody's and their brother's slicer and dicer for sale or how to eat rats on a deserted island.

On a typical Saturday morning, you could wake up at 7 a.m. to watch an old matinee western like Red Ryder or Roy Rogers, then on to cartoons and especially some of the live action Saturday shows, catch wrestling around noon (a regional show, not some goddam monopoly), spend time out during the day, catch several sitcoms later in the afternoon and evening, and stay up to 3 or 4 in the morning watching movies; and all of this without cable.

I don't like TV today; I don't watch it anymore.

I have Flash disabled. This old antique of a computer I am using has enough issues right now that a thread full of YouTube frames would bring it to even more of a crawl that what it's already at.

I did mention Fernwood 2Nite in another thread.  Unfortunately, not many people saw this, but those who did remembered it.  Here's another clip (sorry, the sound's not very good):

I don't really get nostalgic for 60s/70s TV.  Most of what I liked growing up was stuff like THE DUKES OF HAZARD and LOVE BOAT, which I hate today.  My favorite 60s show I liked in reruns growing up, that I still like today, was THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.

I love too many of the old shows to put You Tube clips to them all. Many are very cheesy, but wonderfully entertaining to me. A list:

Gilligan's Island
Green Acres
Get Smart
Hogan's Heroes
Fernwood 2Nite
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Bob Newhart Show
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
The Beverly Hillbillies
The Andy Griffith Show
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Gomer Pyle
Fantasy Island
Bewitched
Happy Days

TV and movies are the ONLY thing about the 70's to wax nostalgic about. 

I mean, bell bottoms, mood rings, Jimmy Carter, and triple digit inflation . . . .

when I teach my U.S. History unit on the 1970's, I call it "The Decade Without Taste."

Matter of personal taste there  . . . I prefer the music of the 80's!
