Shining God's Light for a Lost World.
Seeing my childhood and teen years spanned basically from the late '70s, the entire '80s decade, and the early '90s, I can give a basic rundown of what was playing on TV at that time. Primetime was filled with comedies such as The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, and Mr. Belvedere, as well as dramas such as Little House on the Prairie, The Young Riders, and Highway to Heaven. I also enjoyed a lot of the game shows: Press Your Luck (remember the whammies?), Card Sharks, and The $25,000 Pyramid. Saturday mornings consisted of The Smurfs, Shirt Tales, The Snorks, The Bugs Bunny Show, Tom and Jerry, and even an animated version of The Little Rascals. Before heading off to school on weekday mornings, there were a lot of older cartoons such as Underdog, Bullwinkle, and The Flintstones. Daytime programming (during summer vacation, holidays, schoolbreaks, and sick days) was a variety of syndicated programming, including syndicated reruns of The Brady Bunch, I Dream of Jeannie, the old Our Gang comedies and such, The Price Is Right (when Bob Barker was the host and before he had white hair!), and occasionally the Schoolbreak Specials. The TV programming was basically good with a few exceptions, in contrast with now when it's pretty much the other way around.
I don't know... with a few exceptions, TV just isn't the same anymore.
