    Ever watched a show years ago that you can't today?

    I use to be a fan of Grizzly Adams when I was a kid. But I recently saw an episode and immediately said to myself, "What was I thinking?" These days I would need courage in a bottle to sit through more than one episode of this. That way I could at least find humor in how a man reasons having a good time by provoking a wild grizzly bear. Somehow I doubt most have experienced this in the wild and walked away to talk about it.

    Have you shared a similar experience with a television show you use to like?

      Nope, not really. I can basically push cynicsm out the window and take my brain through the way-back machine and watch through the eyes of youth.

        Probably Little House on The Prairie. Grizzly Adams would be right up there too.

          That's right! OMIGOD. Is there any episode where they didn't cry "PA" ... No wonder we were so d*mn sensitive in the 70's. Everyone was crying all the time!

              I can't watch Welcome back kotter, Happy Days, Laverne ans Shirley, or many of the 80's and some 70's dramas i cringe and say how corny.....

              I recently sat and rewatched the Walton's and I found I enjoyed that a lot because it had the morals and values i admire.....

                  Sadly for me I have to point out "The Greatest American Hero". The pacing is so slow I just can't stand it. Great FX Exclusive, wonderful memory, not so wonderful modern entertainment.

                    Strangely, for a so called "nostalga-ist" like myself, I just can't watch 99% of the shows I used to. Movies are a different story for some odd reason, but TV just doesn't do it for me. I've tried Buck Rodgers and Battlestar Gallactica and just can't do it. I can't watch a full episode to see Cylons or Twiki or Daggit or anything that I liked and remember from being a kid. I can get that feeling out of toys but just not old TV shows and it kinda sucks.

                      I watch them and die laughing all the time, even TOS Trek some of it is so funny to me now. The best one is Andy Griffith just because Barney is so funny. There isn't one show that I watched as a kid that I wouldn't watch now. I still Love em.

                              I can no longer watch the Chris Elliot show "Get a Life" that aired in the early 90's. I cannot believe just how bad and unfunny it is now as to when I somehow enjoyed it back then
