All those shows and you missed two of my favorites:

Mannix

Judd for the Defense

The theme song for Mannix Rocked!



It's interesting how they completely changed Mannix from the original premise.


Got to agree with you on Mannix which was around for a long time. Judd for the Defense, don't remember ever watching it, was short lived.

The Rat Patrol

which is one show I vaguely remember that has not been mentioned.

Given the number of comments about watching these shows today, I will observe that not all of them age well.

I also was still very young to watch this show often, but I do remember as a kid watching the Van Dyke Show with my parents.
I was old enough to think Mary Tyler Moore was beautiful.

oh, and:

Barney Miller
Mary Tyler Moore show
Laverne & Shirley
Happy Days
Shanana
Saturday Night Fever

Most of the shows listed so far are familiar. I didn't watch TV much. It was on, my dad watched a lot, but I was usually doing some sort of arts and crafts project, playing board or card games, or putting together a jigsaw puzzle. The shows I was interested in watching were:

Batman
The Monkees
Laugh-In
Emergency (had quite the crush on Johnny Gage)
Dark Shadows (watched that every day after school)

oh gosh, i thought i was the only one who thought this too.
I liked her in earlier roles in movies, but her character on "Lucy" reminded me of kids in my kindergarten class. Had there only been a "Mertzes" spinoff--that I would have loved...!

I loved Galloping Gourmet! Maybe that's part ofthe reason I love cooking so much. He made it fun, and showed us that recipes were made to be improvised.
