Childhood TV I loved – anything with a motor

[DocParticipant]

Dukes of Hazzard
Fall Guy
Chips
Knight Rider
Street Hawk
Air Wolf
Hardcastle and McCormick
BJ and the Bear

Some not so motor related
Kojak
The Streets of San Francisco
The Six Million Dollar Man

Does anyone remember a show call The Kids of Degrassi Street?

Simpler times. A world before the Matrix plugged us all in. Or maybe we were always plugged in and just didn’t know it.

The only show from your list I ever seen is Knight Rider. Every June during my town’s festival is a parade that has a KITT car reproduction.

That makes me feel old.

It’s 8 O’clock, do you know what your kids are watching… Just the good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm.

I grew up watching all of the same stuff Doc.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

That was just a different world back when I lived in a very different country.

Now, I’m just a stranger living in a foreign country, and I don’t bother having TV as I couldn’t begin to relate to it even if I wanted to.

I feel better knowing some of you guys know what I am talking about.

The whole world feels more and more foreign now. Or to paraphrase Rustin Cohle ‘it’s just one big ghetto in out space’
The older I get the less I relate to everyday people.

I see it like a giant platform game but devoid of missions or interesting characters and bosses.

the Orville Season 2 finale was meh.. sort of blue-pill in my view but creative non-the-less. The thing about that show I love is the comic relief.

LOL loved that part

I remember watching all those shows as well as the banana splits. I even had one of those 6 wheel drive atv’s like the banana splits. Unbelievable fun those things.

The worlds a different place today. Certainly not what it used to be.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

You are welcome End. Glad you liked it.

I watched all those things too. Loved the Dukes of Hazard. Now what exists I their place?

Well there is a lot more kids tv, specifically aimed at kids. As far as I can recall from being in the same room as my children when they have been watching TV, there has not been a single program that involves a motor or science that does not have a woman presenting it. The indoctrination plan runs deep now. Children have their own special dumbed down programs and all male interests are presented by a woman.

Personally I liked anything with guns in it or swords would do but weapons were important and some danger. I had lots of cap guns (it was OK to buy them and give them to your son back then and him carry them about and fire them in the garden, no one was going to be shot as a terrorist for having a toy gun) and used to make swords, spears, bows and mini cannons from scrap metal and saplings I inexpertly murdered in the woods. Everything I liked and valued would now be regarded as toxic and dangerous I think.

I am sick of planet snow flake. Back then I didn’t even know there was anything bad about confederate flags or driving without a seat belt or that black people hated white people because of stuff their ancestors might have done. I am still not convinced that any of the s~~~ that has later been imposed on us by political correctness or health and safety is helpful or necessary.

A woman is like fire -fun to play with, can warm you through and cook your food, needs constant feeding, can burn you and consume all you own

I liked Airwolf. Watched the others cause they were on.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

Reckon I’m as old as you then, because I watched all of those too. I remember all of us kids at school would talk about what happened on the Six Million Dollar Man the night before, as well as the Incredible Hulk.

I still watch Knight Rider reruns when they show them. My most favorite episodes were the ones with K.A.R.R., the prototype.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

I expected more from the Orville, but I still like it enough to watch it every Thursday. Another show I watch every Thursday is Supernatural. I really like it, but next season will be it’s last.

About the only other modern TV show I watch is the Walking Dead. Other than that, I watch a lot of Family Guy and South Park. No other show on TV has ever made me laugh as much as those shows.
