What are your "Pre VCR event reruns?"

[Earth 2 Chris]

Legends of the Super Heroes specials and the Captain America TV movies first come to mind.

Gilligan's Island: vampire episode
Star Trek: "Amok Time" and "The City on the Edge of Forever" (even as a kid, I loved this one!)
Super Friends: "Super Friends, Rest in Peace" and "Universe of Evil". Also the Dracula episode!
Happy Days: The Undertaker storyline where the garage blows up, and the ep where Arnold burns down
Amazing Spider-Man: The clone episode.

Also, I remember-- at least for a couple of year-- there was a big promotion where they showed classic horror movies in 3d. I believe it was one week with a different movie every night, and you could pick up the red and blue glasses at the grocery store.

I remember around here, a local independent TV station aired the 3-d movie 'Gorilla at Large'. I only recall that one time, as they never did it again, and I do not remember any other station doing anything like that either. You mentioned that you'd get your 3-D glasses at a grocery store, now this is over 40 years ago, so I may be mis-remembering things, but it seems like they had a tie-in with the local Hardee's restaurants and you could get the glasses from them...

Not quite the same as what you were asking, but it made me think of when they would show the "Wizard of Oz" every Easter.

I believe it was one week with a different movie every night, and you could pick up the red and blue glasses at the grocery store. It felt like such an event. It really got me interested in classic Universal horror (that and checking out the Crestwood House books from the library).

the Incredible Hulk 2 part movies. 1) The Pilot. 2) The Meteor one where he is stuck as the hulk mid metamorphosis(the most fun word I learned at that age lol) and 3) The evil old Hulk with Dick Durock. 66 Batman of course with the cliffhanger episodes. The haunted house episode of greatest American hero. A bunch more that I can't think of right now. I remember when CBS first aired Star Wars and that was a big deal back then.

Growing up I was lucky that a channel would rerun Adventures of Superman 52 & Batman 66 during the week. On Saturday afternoons a local station would run old Kung Fu movies or Godzilla movies. When the weather was bad, my brother and I would spend the day watching them. I wish we had a VCR back then but we didn't.

Those are the only shows I have memory of watching in the 70's (my single digit years). I do remember watching Wonder Woman, Shazam/Isis, Spider-Man & Hulk when they came on. I also remember watching Legends Of Super-Heroes, Star Wars Holiday Special and Kiss Phantom Of The Park and wondered why they never reaired them.

What are your "Pre VCR event reruns?"
I'm talking about TV shows that you really got to know as a kid and couldn't wait to see again as they reran. These are the "Oh no, I missed it!" episodes; here are a stack of mine:
Battle of the Planets: The bigfoot one where Zoltar is unmasked
Star Trek: Arena
Love Boat: Vincent Price Halloween episode
Muppet Show: Star Wars One (duh)
Happy Days: The Headless lady episode
Let's keep going. I'm sure I have many more but I can't think of them right now.
