Most of us grew up in the '70s, so I figured this might be a fun thing to share:

How Many Of These Forgotten Shows From The '70s Do You Remember?

I only remember 16, have no clue about the other 13. But of the ones I remember, I only watched Get Christie Love! - I loved the TV Movie and because of that tuned in for the series. I wish I would have known about Highcliffe Manor because I think I might have enjoyed that. Though I probably would have been disappointed when it was canceled so soon.

I remember Holmes and Yoyo and have rewatched some episodes on youtube. Prolly should have been called Get Stupid..lol. I just recently watched Supertrain also on youtube. Started off with some promise but the more they messed with it, the worse it got. Last episode they even tacked on a laugh track. Ugh. I have the dvd set of Bearcats.. It's actually better than it looks but it was ignored against Alias Smith and Jones.

I loved "All That Glitters."  In those days gender roles were still very traditionally defined and this show reversed them, with the women as the executives and the men as the house-husbands, etc.  And each gender acted with the stereotypical way of the real life opposite gender.  It was quite fun.  And a lot of the actors have been in so many other things, but this was my introduction to many of them.  One that stands out to me is Lois Nettleton - I've always liked her and this was where I "met" her.

Some good 70s shows that are probably forgotten:

Toma, with Tony Musante, based on Serpico
Hot L Baltimore, notable for first gay regular characters, though awfully cliched...
The Tony Randall Show, a very funny show, he and Diana Muldaur were  dating judges...
Lotsa Luck, with Dom Deluise
Adam's Rib, with Blythe Danner
Nichols, with James Garner

Some of the best shows got cancelled early, and were on ABC before Fred Silverman got hold of it...
