Batman!

And the Green Hornet.

And Saturday cartoons. Who wants to name some of those?

I'm in the same camp as @1STMP , having grown up with a black & white TV. I remember when Batman came out 'In living color'. I thought, 'I don't see what the big deal is'. A year later, my dad bought a color TV. "Ohhhhh, now I get it'!

Bugs Bunny
The Rat Patrol
F Troop

When I was a kid I loved shows like Adam 12 and Emergency.
I wanted to move to LA and become a cop when I grew up.
I liked Movin On when it came on. I built model trucks and decided I wanted to be an over the road trucker.
I didn’t end up becoming a cop or a trucker, though I work as an engineer for a truck manufacturer and some of the truck chassis I set up are for fire truck and police command trucks, so I guess that ties in a little with my childhood dreams.
 
The Edge of Night
Twilight Zone
McMillen and Wife
Cannon
Streets of San Fransisco
Adam 12
Emergency

Back when TV was TV and actually produced a product other than reality BS and trying to see who can say more F-bombs than the other.
 
I was a huge fan of Movin On. A few years after it was off the air, I played the role of Sonny Pruitt's co-driver Will Chandler in real life, as part of a team driving a Kenworth W900 coast to coast in the summers of 1981 and 1982, earning the money to pay for my next year of law school when I returned in the fall.

I watched Friends when it was new. It is so interesting how time changes your perspective. I've seen bits of reruns of that show and can't believe how lame and inane the show was, During it's time, the show was a ratings monster.

I've grown to really resent the laugh tracks in TV shows. It is as if they think I'm not smart enough to know what I think is funny. Once you're aware of that annoying feature of these shows, you see it everywhere.

I remember loving to watch the Six Million Dollar Man. Remember "Bionics" ??
Some shows came on after my bed time but I learned about them through Mad magazine! They would do features on TV shows in the magazine and get me curious of what shows I hadn't heard of.

That woman expands and contracts like a pufferfish. I've never seen a woman change size as often as her. One season she is cute and thin, the next...she is in the "Honey Boo Boo" fighting class.
