Let us not forget a couple of imports, The Avengers and The Saint.

And The Prisoner!

And Benny Hill.

And Benny Hill.

Ah, Benny Hill. How many remember him as the toymaker in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" ?

 

[Heeler]

A local institution for many, many years was J. P. Patches

Ran M-F at 7:00 a.m. as I remember. KIRO, channel 7

 

[Heeler]

Another local/regional show was Nightmare Theater. Friday nights at 11:30, again on KIRO 7. It ran old horror flicks. By the time I was old enough to stay awake long enough to watch it was hosted by "The Count" , a cheesy vampire who was played by the man who also directed and played a few of the recurring characters on the J.P. Patches show, Joe Towey.

Monty Python's Flying Circus. Had a friend turn me on to that when I was in 6th grade, 1977 or so..

And The Prisoner!

I never saw that one. But you are welcome to add to the list.

 

[Uncle-A]

And Benny Hill.

He was funny but definitely for the adults.

I don't remember what channel it was, but one of the channels in the NYC market would switch over to Kung Fu movies late at night. Hilarious.

We had a similar show that was hosted by a strange guy that called himself Zackerly.

I didn't read the whole thread, so excuse me if this has been discussed.

Do any of the western PA folks remember "Chiller Theater" with Bill "Chilly Bllly" Cardille? I was a night owl then and now and fondly remember him.

I loved watching 'Hogan's Heroes' in syndication when I was young! Truth is, I still like that show.

According to Wikipedia October 9, 1986
I remember watching the Tracy Ullman Show when it finally made its way to Northern Michigan. The Simpson was a creation for small bits during the Tracy Ullman Show.

Fox Broadcasting Company - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Just a side note on the Tracy Ullman show, it was on her show in 1987 that the very first appearance of The Simpsons cartoon was played.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month hits home

Yay, Yay, and Thrice Yay. Let one pair of skis be sacrificed on the bonfire to the Gods (suggest old, the Gods won't mind), and may the Pugski Gorvino overfloweth! I just put some demon alchy-hol into one of my new PugSki Gorvino glasses (it was a virgin glass) to celebrate this good news. You...
