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

[spacecaps]

Compared to todays TV, which is like watching a 12 hour movie, most of the older shows are really bad. The stuff I've been watching on TV for a few years now is better that 99% of the movies I go see. I recently tried to watch Columbo on Netflix (a show that I loved as a kid) and couldn't believe how slow it was. Knight Rider had the same effect on me too but the one I couldn't watch at all was Fraggle Rock. After the them song, it's all down hill.

I bought it too. I just couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

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

I only have a few episodes on DVD, but they are still funny for me. I think the "Spewey" episode is as hilarious as it was for me when it first aired. Elliot has a different kind of humor though, so I can understand that many people don't get it. Maybe you "grew out" of his type of comedy?

Dukes of hazzard , good times , Charles in charge, Different world, facts of life,and way too many more

Most of the Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch are completely unwatchable for me now. I haven't watched shows like Dukes of Hazzard, Little House, etc in years, but I really doubt that they'd hold up for me today. On the other hand, some SF shows like Star Trek TOS and the POTA live action series are still enjoyable to watch for me.

I still love them all, not as much, but still.....

I can't take the 70's cartoons I grew up on at all anymore, SUper Friends, Speed Buggy, Hong Kong Phooey, etc. But I love stuff from the 50's and 60s like Clutch Cargo, Jonny Quest, DC and Marvel 60's stuff, Yogi Bear Looney Tunes, etc.

I used to love The Hilarious House of Frightenstein but found it impossible to watch when I discovered some clips from it on youtube.

WOW!!!!

I bought it too. I just couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

HAHAHAHA

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

I totally agree. They play it on at least 3 channels in my area.

For some reason my unconditional nostalgia sort of wanes with later 70's and 1980's stuff (unless it is good beyond nostalgia). But with the 60's early 70's things I watched as a kid I can still watch and love how my younger self took the limited animation and the limited effects and sometimes even the limited acting and directing and made it real regardless.

Sadly for me I have to point out "The Greatest American Hero". The pacing is so slow I just can't stand it...

Y'know Jim, I don't have that problem until the 3rd season. I sort'a feel the writing is so good in the first 2 seasons I can sit and enjoy the Ralph-Bill-Pam banter for a bit before some action happens.
