Do you sometimes come across something that reminds you of long ago? Something you may have totally forgotten about until one photo brings it all back? As a child, I enjoyed television in our family room, watching a huge console tv with a remote we called a clicker. We waited all summer for the new seasons of our favorite shows to begin. And favorites I had! Which got me thinking: how many of you have the same favorites as I do?
First up, two classics.
Little House on the Prarie
or
The Waltons?
I Dream of Jeannie
or
Bewitched?
The Love Boat
or
Fantasy Island?
And finally, an easy one.
The Brady Bunch
or
The Partridge Family?
Which did you prefer?
And did I miss any of your favorites?
I'd love to know!
Have a cozy Wednesday, my friends.

P.S. My answers are as follows:
1. Little House on the Prarie. Massive crush on Albert!
2. I Dream of Jeanie. Loved her evil sister!
3. The Love Boat. Every Saturday night.
4. The Brady Bunch. No contest.
I grew up watching both Little House and The Walton's. I loved them both! But, I would probably have to say Little House if I HAD to choose.
ReplyDeleteAnd Brady Bunch, no contest!! <3
LOL. Well now...The Waltons, Bewitched, Fantasy Island and the Partridge Family. But I do remember watching all those. smiles --I hope you have a beautiful day friend.
ReplyDeleteHello. Definitely Little House (have all the books!) and I just finished watching "The Waltons" for the ? time!
ReplyDeleteI loved them all. I have of course read all of the Little House books, which are way better than the show, but the early episodes of the show were good, loved them as a kid. I had a major crush on Michael Landon, yes, Pa. Bewitched, loved it... sometimes I say, "I'd like to just wiggle my nose and get it done...", and my kids have no idea what I'm talking about...
ReplyDeleteWe still find a lot of these shows & watch them. Brings back all the wholesome memories
ReplyDeleteI watched Brady Bunch reruns every day after school. Loved that show. The Love Boat was a Saturday night tradition at our house too. I hardly ever watched I dream of Jeannie but I hardly ever missed an episode of Bewitched.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes!! Loved all of these! I especially loved Little House and made my Mom put my hair in braids every day for a time. Lol I also loved Laverne & Shirley & Happy Days. Lol But I think I Dream of Jeannie was my favorite - I wanted to hang out inside her bottle. And I never missed the Love Boat and had a crush on Gopher. 😂
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shows were Little House on the Prairie, I Dream of Jeannie and The Brady bunch and the Love Boat. When we went on a Tor Line cruise ship from England 🇬🇧 to Gutenberg, Sweden 🇸🇪 I called it our love ❤ Our 1st anniversary We went with a group so it was cheaper . Good shows you shared.

For me it was The Waltons, Bewitched, and The Brady Bunch. I can't choose between The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, I loved both and watched both on Saturday nights. I found the old Fantasy Island shows on Tubi last year and watched all of them again. They were still good.
ReplyDeleteLittle House on the Prairie, (Carrie falling down the hill still cracks me up every time.) Bewitched, though this was the hardest one for me in this game, The Love Boat and Brady Bunch, obviously.
ReplyDeleteWe still call it a clicker in our house. Never was a fan of the Waltons. I can count the times on one hand I've seen it. We loved the Brady Bunch. Every Friday night my siblings and I got our pillows and blankets, claimed our spots and watched the entire Friday night lineup. But my #1 favorite show was The Partridge Family. That show beat them all hands down. It was so funny, and my crush on Keith Partridge was epic.
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, those first two shows are my favorites. In fact, I just watched a Little House episode before coming over here. Isn't that funny? It is a beloved show for me, and I can so relate to that era and everything about it. I loved the Brady Bunch also, and know most of the episodes of that program as well. I watch The Walton's (The Homecoming) every Christmas. It's so nice that you remember these wonderful shows too. A much simpler time for sure. Thanks for the memories of these special shows that I believe will be classics for a long time. : )

Well I watched all of those but I have to say Bewitched was MY favorite. Oh how I wished I could wiggle my nose and make things happen haha! To this day I still love watching reruns of it. AND, we called ours a "clicker" as well! Isn't that funny!??
ReplyDeleteWatched them all over time. And the clicker/remote was called 2 feet watching to the TV and changing the channel by hand.
ReplyDeleteloved watching the old comedies like red skeleton, jackie gleason, and how about mccales navy
ReplyDeleteI never saw The Waltons but I loved all the other shows. And since I was an 80s kid/90s teen I liked Full House and all the shows on TGIFridays.
ReplyDeleteThe Waltons! One of my favorite shows. I had/have the biggest crush on John Boy (which I'm still made fun of for! :)
ReplyDeleteI Dream of Jeannie! I wanted to live in her bottle!
Saturday nights were always about The Love Boat!
Need I even answer this?! Have a sunshine day! xx
