    Saturday mornings were great.

    Anything Goes,followed by
    The Monkees,
    & Dusty's Trail.
    Then Sports Stadium which was hit and miss depending on the time of year.
    Saturday evenings,we'd all gather around to watch Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice.


    At a younger age,I would've watched Wanderly Wagon,Bosco,Sesame Street & The Electric Company.

    Mid teens loved MTUSA &TOTP & Alf

    Dallas,Dynasty,Falcon Crest and Flamingo Road were strictly off limits as a teenager,because,to quote my parents,"of all the hopping in and out of bed!" ;)


    My school friends watched "V" and The Incredible Hulk but we weren't allowed .
    Probably a good thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 740 ✭✭✭steveone


    yes saturday morning tv was worth getting out of bed for..
    whats on saturdays now? probably nothing...

    I have to say at least 90 % of the shows listed here I watched regularly....didn't think I watched that much tv.. where did we get the time to go out and play at all?
