@eyemom, take heart; you were not alone. Miss Barbara (or whoever it was) never saw me either. She saw my brother and sister, but never me. I don’t have a common name for the time and I took it personally.

Did anyone mention the Addams Family? I preferred it to the Munsters. I also like a show called Camp Runamuck about the madcap adventures at a summer camp. I don’t think it was on for more than a season or two.

Not exactly sitcoms, but I loved Love American Style.

I Love Lucy. Classic slapstick. Love it.

@eyemamom Same here. I waited every time thinking that Miss MaryAnn would call my name but never happened. I think she just called out the most popular names of the era and mine was definitely not one of them.

Sisters.

I had a fairly common name for the time. When my daughter was little she was the one yelling out the answers for blues clues.

I also like That Girl and of course Mary Tyler Moore. I wanted a big letter on my wall.

I LOVED Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow when my boys were little. Truly. I loved watching with them.

I remember watching I Spy with my brother after my parents had gone to bed. I think it came on at 10 PM on the east coast.

since it has expanded from just sitcoms, why has no one mentioned Mannix? Hawaii 5-0 was right at my bedtime, but I often got to listen to the opening theme song.

I liked Columbo, Rockford Files and Brian Keith in “Little People.” My sibs got to be extras because his relatives were our neighbors.

I loved Sesame Street, which taught S to read at age 3 and Reading Rainbow that reinforced our kids love of reading.

Another old favorite of mine is Get Smart.

Love American Style. I remember sneaking to watch that show thinking my parents would not approve!

I Dream of Jeannie
I Love Lucy
Get Smart
F Troop
Brady Bunch (especially the Hawaii episode with Vincent Price)

my all time favorite tho is Mission Impossible

As long as we are moving past sitcoms: Magnum,PI

Never heard of Wondeama. Was it regional?

McMillan & Wife opening theme always got me going. Not a sitcom but it had some comedy element.

Wonderama was a kids program, here in NYC I remember it when I was growing up having Bob McAllister as the host…I never really watched it, kind of reminded me of the kids program parodied on the Weird Al Movie “UHF”:slight_smile:

My wife and I had some favorites from when my son was little, we liked Arthur on PBS, loved Little Bear on Nick, and I loved Thomas the Tank engine when George Carlin was doing the voices:)

I will sheepishly admit to watching “David the Gnome” when there were no children present.

I completely had forgotten about McMillan & Wife. Loved that show - wasn’t that Susan St. James who played the wife?
