Thirteen top TV Show of 72-73.
When I was growing up, September meant the end of reruns and the
beginning of the new TV season. Let's get into the wayback machine and
look at what was on the TV landscape 50 years ago. Notice this was
before cable, so these are all network shows. Since there were no VCRs
yet, all these shows had substantial audiences watching in real time.
1. All in the Family (CBS)
2. Sanford and Son (NBC)
3. Hawaii Five-O (CBS)
4. Maude (CBS)
5. Bridget Loves Bernie (CBS)
6. The NBC Sunday Mystery Movie* (NBC)
7. The Mary Tyler Moore Show (CBS)
8. Gunsmoke (CBS)
9. The Wonderful World of Disney (NBC)
10. Ironside (NBC)
11. Adam-12 (NBC)
12. The Flip Wilson Show (NBC)
13. Marcus Welby, MD (ABC)
*This
is kind of a cheat because it was really four shows that aired
once/month: Columbo, MacMillan and Wife, McCloud and Hec Ramsey.

I watched most of those shows at my grandparents' house when we visited. They lived in the city and could receive all three channels, whereas at home on the farm I could only see whatever showed up on ABC. I guess that is why I've never been much of a TV watcher, growing up with such a limited choice most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI watched many of those shows even though they went way over my head (Maude, especially).
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've watched any of those. I do want to watch Maude, though. I loved Bea Arthur in Golden Girls.
