Wonderful World of Disney, especially the Davey Crockett series

 

[Agoodnap]

Mission Impossible
Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom

 

[WestSideLion]

And the good Voltron too. I asked to the complete toy one Christmas. My dad bought the version with the 52 cars rather than the one with the 5 cats. This is a first-world problem, but I was disappointed.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Dukes of Hazzard
BJ McKay and Bear
Diff'rent Strokes
Silver Spoons
The Facts of Life

Half the show was them fighting as cats against a Robeast, losing and when all was lost they would form Voltron, form the blazing sword then cut the Robeast into three sections.

How can you do that without the cats?

If you want to undersrand how the '60s happened, check out YouTubes of Froggie the Gremlin on the show Andy's Gang.

LOL, I understand about limited viewing. We got 3 stations and in the summer the 2 from Pittsburgh would try to override the other making both unwatchable.

LOL, I think I had one like that as well.
The other ones I had were The Munsters, A Speed Racer and then a Peanuts one.
Wasn't it awesome that if you knocked the thermos too hard the inside shattered into a million shards. LOL.
