Sunday CBS early 80's 60 minutes ,Archie Bunker, One day at a Time, Alice and the Jeffersons. I stopped there but for true fans Trapper John

Ah yes! I remember and enjoyed all of those shows. However, all of the stars today have suddenly became political. My mommy and daddy told me to never argue religion or politics and I listened. Someone should tell them to keep the politics to themselves and maybe more people would watch. Do these so called stars think that they are smarter than the dumb people that are going gaga over them?

ER is one of the best shows on television right now!!!! It's better now then when it first came out. I also would have to say i miss the TGIF lineup on Fridays especially when Just the Ten of Us was part of the line up before abc mistakenly cancelled it after two seasons (which abc later said they made a mistake).

Not to be a stickler, but with regards to #4 (ABC Tuesday, 1978): Technically Don Knotts wasn't on "Three's Company" yet, and neither was Christopher Lloyd on "Taxi." But that actually makes your quote cooler, as someone who actually was a teen back then can testify: instead of spending the night watching Mr. Furley and Reverend Jim, we were actually watching Mr. Roper and Andy Kaufman.

How about SciFi Fridays 2005-- Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica?

Wow, every lineup down the list was fondly remembered until I got to #5. I really did not recall that lineup until I read it and said, "Oh Yeah!" It seems like a joke now but that was a really hot night and those were the shows to watch, even though none of them really stood the test of time.
I just rented TJ Hooker on Netflix and I remember how cool that show was at the time and how overboard it all seems now. I can't begin to describe what a joke the Love Boat has become and Fantasy Island was just a retooled Love Boat in the end. But we were all there on Saturday evenings to tune in.

Thank God for TiVo so we can all create our own "must see" nights of television!

The coherent line-up is dead with the advent of PVRs. Fewer people are now sitting in front a TV watching live TV and not wanting to change the channels. Also, all of those lineups were from before the cable explosion that brought us so many more choices than ABC, CBS & NBC.

I been watching tv since i were seven years old, i can say this, my taste could be wrong, but if a story did not make you think about a lot of thing in the world, then it was not a good show. Now it ok to laugh, but it the part where you have to learn real life story, because the world is not make up with just the i love lucy people this is a world where that if you make a wrong step then it over with.

You won't believe this--I thought that The Love Boat went off the air in 1982. ABC didn't air it as much that year. They didn't keep a good pattern of airing the show constantly on Saturday nights like they did from 1977-1981. They kept moving it around in their lineup. They were airing football games on Saturday nights on ABC in the fall at the 7 or 8 pm hour and I never saw Love Boat within that lineup. But I was surprised that it was on for 4 more years, because ABC moved it around their lineup about 3 to 4 times that period. They didn't support it enough the last 4 years (82-86) like they did the first 5 of '77 to '82.

Way back in 1981, I watched a local TV station in North Carolina that was known for showing sitcom reruns. They were a new station at the time. They did that similar format of airing both the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family back to back in the afternoon. Sort of the ABC 1971-1972 lineup. I noticed that both shows were produced by Paramount Television and Screen Gems, for I saw their logos at the end of the show. These two shows were even popular by kids in the early '80s. I heard so much of Marcia, Marcia, Marcia and what their favorite episode was. They were far more into Brady Bunch than Partridge Family. Almost several years since they ended their runs and they won a newer audience of more young fans who were babies when David Cassidy was a teen idol.
