Yes, and didn't watch a fraction of the TV/online streaming that teens watch today. I recognized names of actors and show titles in above video, but never watched one episode of these shows.

Same here. The facts of life was the show for me. I could recite half the dialogue to this day. The golden girls intro here is definitely different than what originally was shown. Loved 227 as well.

Briar Bear that was my childhood right there. Good times back then.

NBC was dominating the 80s. Thurdays and Saturdays were owned by NBC. Them other networks could only go for second place.

@@kingovharts You got that right, hey, abc Thursday Nights couldn't compete with CBS during the early 80's nor could it compete with NBC during the 2nd half of the 80's and abc and CBS definitely couldn't couldn't compete with NBC Saturday Nights in the 80's with The Facts of Life, 227, Amen, The Golden Girls, Empty Nest or HUNTER NBC was Da Bomb and it was OUR Saturday Night in the 80's

Karen from Will and Grace was on the Ellen Burstyn Show, which was another surprise.

Yup! NBC had Saturday night on lockdown, I barely remember most of those shows on other networks.

I was about to say the same damn thing, NBC had that on lock, nothing but classics

Yasmin88 Saturdays and Thursdays belonged to NBC by far!

Mostly the same for me. I watched Twilight Zone, not Hunter, but the rest of it was that killer NBC sitcom block.

Same here, but I worked at Ross.

True. He was excellent

Sure it is

That was a good show. Robert Urich was the best.

You might want to take note that Warner archive released all three seasons of Spenser For Hire on DVD a few years ago. The original pressing was glassmaster, because they got enough call for it, though whether currently ordered discs would be that or custom manufactured I couldn't tell you. Worth noting, too, of course, that this was not the 86 show open, because Barbara Stock is back on it, this had to be the 87 - which I also believed because of the choice of theme music. I cannot think right now of the name of the redheaded actress who played lawyer Rita Fiore in 86 when she replaced Barbara for a year.

lol!

It *was* a disappointing show. Ball's sense of humor/slapstick, which had worked for her in her three previous series, was sorrowfully dated by this fourth show.

Yeah, yeah, and back then parents whined about shows not being as wholesome as the 50s. "Parental discretion" has never really done anything anyway. My parents wouldn't let me watch Three's Company because it was "too sexual" back in the late 70s/early 80s, but a TV in my room and afternoon syndication meant I could watch it all I wanted.

Chris Hinnant I watched it every week. I remember I was 12 going on 13. So it’s pretty much the rollerskating rink or stay home and watch the lineup.

Gripit L I live in a small town it wasn't much to do on Saturday night's so I stayed home and just watch the lineup. The only show I didn't watch was Hunter. 227 and Amen were my favorites. But I definitely watched all four of the comedies.

S.S. MUZE Projects I was 12 at the time I remember it was either the rollerskating rink or stay home and watch the lineup. While calling the radio station to dedicate songs to our crushes 😂😂

Yea, good times. I was 11 as well.

bodybuilder slave I thought I was the only one doing that lol

I thought I was the only one that done this. Currently on FOX 1ST FALL PRIME TIME TV LINEUP 1987

+birdmantd RIP Harry Anderson.

No it doesn’t ☹️

Me too, NBC all the way that year. I don't even remember any of the others except for Spencer for Hire. I think that show moved to another night possibly. I remember my mom watching that sometimes but I was into facts of life, etc.

jason3fc I’d watch it on the phone with my best friend. The good old days.

i did too.even though i watched Spenser For Hire sometimes and The New Twilight Zone also

We would have got some of these shows a little bit later in Ireland, maybe 6 months after the US. I loved Spenser for hire, Twilight Zone, the golden girls and the new Mike Hammer.

Rather obvious in the first season... but it found it's own 'legs' thereafter... But the timing (Sudden Impact ; the 4th Dirty Harry hit theaters December 83... Hunter was Fall of 84) is fairly obvious as well

I love HUNTER

Fred Dryer was actually considered for the role of Sam Malone on Cheers!

Me too. I was in college and we would watch those shows before hitting the clubs lol

What about Family Matters

Lol we had all 3 but our tv stayed on nbc. My grandma watched days of our lives, another world and Santa Barbara during the day, so we just never changed the channel at night 😁

you and i must be the same age because i was 11 back then too and i also watched most of these shows

even though thursdays i watched Knots Landing on CBS

Yep. At 16 I was not home watching TV on a Saturday night. lol

Me too lol

So what is your old ass doing now lmao

john coctoasten I was 13. My best friend and I would watch on the phone together. Good old days.

This is what me and my friend would watch while my parents were out having a good time. I was in 8th Grade.

I couldn't help but notice how pretty she is when I watched that Hunter intro.

And her beauty is still hot today, although reprised by others.

I LOVED Hunter.

When I was little, I would always get her and Susan Lucci confused with each other.

@@EvansSt83 lol!

she's still classy today trust me

Outside The Golden Girls, numbers-wise, had the most talented cast. The writing must have been dreadful with a cast like Downtown.

you mean ABC

Jason Windrow Makes me a little bit sad. That was my childhood

The majority of the intros are from other KZfaq uploaders. All a matter of searching them out (using precise keywords helps), collecting them and then piecing them all together into videos.

John Krolczyk I loved it.

It was the 80s

IKR...was anyone watching anything other than NBC on Saturday nights back then Golden Girls is a classic and the other shows were pretty solid.

NBC was the best from mid to late 80s.

She also hitchhiked with Fred Savage and his brother in The Wizard. Also, is that the same Johnathan Ward who played Douglas on the first season of Charles in Charge?

@@BrianRetro Johnathan was also Beans Baxter.

you dont remember Spenser For Hire on ABC?

H&I has a 3? hour block of Hunter on Saturdays now

If I had to guess this show was either granted out of Pity or Obligation... 1986 was well past the point that Lucy should have been allowed/encouraged to do her old 'Lucy-shtick'... so my guess is it was stuck as Saturday Opener to get it done with... that said Saturday did not equal 'death' (like it does today) until the mid-late 90s

It was on for 5 years

It was a full-fledged second hit series starring Sherman Hemsley. I love “Amen.”

have you ever seen Invitation to hell with him & susan Lucci? crazy abc movie he was in everything RIP

S1500 He was so hot even at 12 years old had the biggest crush on him.
