  1. All in the Family- Meathead and fat Sally still around
    Bridget Loves Birney – Meredith Baxter went full lesbian.
    Newhart still alive but recently lost his wife.
    Mary Tyler Moore – I think entire cast is dead.

  2. 1973, I was a two-stripe Airman going through electronics and radar schools at Keesler AFB, MS. My wife and I lived in a one room studio apartment and poor as dirt. Watched all those shows regularly on a 12” B&W TV.

  3. Those were the days, my friend
    We thought they’d never end
    We’d sing and dance forever and a day
    We’d live the life we choose
    We’d fight and never lose
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    (I love how people here remind me of music! Thanks Richard.)

  4. A 2023 Saturday night schedule is a some lame programs aired between the numerous ads for prescription drugs.

    Every night’s schedule is constant ads for Rx drugs.

  5. 1973.
    At least you got SOME EXERCISE Turning the TV ON/OFF/CHANEL CHANGING.

    Then, for over 40 years it Became a THUMB WORKOUT.

    Now, it is VERBAL COMMAND.

    You can JUST FEEL YOUR ASS GROW!

    Happy Sunday! (AKA – Anybody but Lewis Hamilton Day!)

    Dish Network sent me their voice remote, I pulled the batteries, boxed it up and stuffed it into a cabinet. I routinely turn off the microphone on every device that has one, doubt that helps much but it’s a start.

    I didn’t watch TV from 1974 to about the 90s, a look back tells me I didn’t miss much then either.

  7. Carol Burnett impersonating Charro is still etched in my head. I think my fist crush might have been Dolly Parton appearing on Hee Haw. I was a weird kid.

  8. 1973 – in college, lived off campus for $9 per week, bought 10 pot pies and box of potatoes for $2, kept me for a whole week. Walked to school, grocery store, laundry and part time job. Made enough money to pay $23 per week tuition. Ate a dozen Crispy Creams with Schlitz while watching Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. Boy sure miss those days

  9. I didn’t watch much TV in ’73. I was either busy working or was in Air Force basic training where there was no TV. I don’t think I missed a thing. In ’74/’75, I watched a fair amount of TV while stationed in the UK because it was either too cold or wet to be outside very much. Today, I watch YouTube videos about history and fixing things.

  10. Thank you so, so much for this. I was a senior in high school in 1973 and have many fond memories of watching these programs during my hundreds of babysitting evenings. Fifty cents an hour, but I thought it was a fortune.

  11. Old Coot,
    and they wouldn’t dare offend us by talking about hemorrhoids or vaginal itching or burying your AIDS carrier status so you could still pollinate the other mariposas in your ‘hood!
