This Or That

 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.

Billie Jo

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.

  1. 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.

    And Brady Bunch, no contest!! <3

  4. I 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...

  6. I 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.

  7. Yes, 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. πŸ˜‚

  9. 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.

  10. Little 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.

  11. We 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.

  12. Billie 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. : )

  13. 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!??

  14. Watched them all over time. And the clicker/remote was called 2 feet watching to the TV and changing the channel by hand.

  16. I 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.

  17. The Waltons! One of my favorite shows. I had/have the biggest crush on John Boy (which I'm still made fun of for! :)
    I 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
