Where To Watch
Pick: What would you watch on TV in 1978?
So many superheroes and super sitcoms!
Are you ready to groove back to 1978? Well, we have a remote control that happens to be a time machine, too. It's was the disco era — which meant seeing ABBA perform live. It was also an era of superheroes, much like today, with Wonder Woman and the big green guy. Space was hot, thanks to Star Wars. Charlie's Angels and Hawaii Five-O were fighting crime.
All of this sounds a lot like today, honestly.
So let's see what you would watch in this popular era of pop culture. How do your tastes compare to others?

I was a little kid then and remember the Super hero shows Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk. Happy Days and the Fonz appealed to a seven year old.
So quaint - we seldom had all three networks available at a given time. We had to use a motor to turn the antenna on our 40 ft tower to get a given staation.
51% similar. Fun. :D

I got 62%. Hmmm. not sure if these shows were really on at the same time, I remember watching so many of them and not having to make such a tough choice back then!
Hulk beats Rockford Files - gimme a break -Plus, I liked WKRP ,but I highly doubt It beats Little House-this must be skewed a little for MeTv , if not outright rigged

68% I remember tuning into Mork & Mindy just to watch Robin Williams do the dance!
* But jumped the shark with the Mearth episodes. ♣

I know what each of these shows are. Growing up however some I liked some I did not. If you want to watch classic cartoons Cartoon Network shows them just need to check their schedule to find out when they are on. Me-TV does have a good line up. I do wish however they would bring back Emergency, Adam-12 and CHiPs I miss them. I heard another network is starting to show them. I will check that out.
I don't know about "CHiPS", but "Adam-12" and "Emergency" are on Monday through Friday on COZI-TV which is a subsidiary of NBC.
I had Cozi , but It went off my lineup
A better analysis would be to ask what older shows people would watch NOW. 1978 was 40 years ago and the majority of us have changed, or at least SHOULD have grown over that period of time.
That's not to say MeTV's content isn't desirable, it's excellent!
But our tastes have changed since 1978. Keep up the good work. Cable TV is going down the tubes. I get MeTV off the airwaves.

For me which show I watched depended on what season the episode was in. I didn't like some seasons in some of the shows
68%. I think we've had this one before now. I don't think I ever watched most of these shows aside from the cop shows or procedurals. I never liked Happy Days after the 1st season. After that, it was like watching a play on TV.
