Does that make you (a much younger version) of Uncle Jesse?? Don't be bringing out no moonshine now.
We used to love that show. A lot of reruns of many shows we loved back in the day look a little cheesy now (affectionately).... but when they came out back then, nothing else like them had ever been seen before. Those were the days !
I'm more a Luke Duke sort of dude to be honest but if @mrbonkers wants me to be Uncle Jesse than Uncle Jesse I'll be! Moonshine? Well now, it's a must!
I know what you mean about "cheesy" but they're still good. Remember Knight Rider and The A-Team as well? I also used to watch Buck Rogers in the 21st Century and a few others like Hogan's Heroes and stuff. So many good shows back then. I wasn't allowed to watch much TV as a kid, was outside doing other things mostly anyway, but had to pick my shows carefully due to having limited access.
We also watched and loved Knight Rider & The A-Team & Hogan's Heroes. I never watched Buck Rogers though. I think for a lot of shows, although they were nearly cutting edge for their day, the special affects & etc have gone so much past that now. I still like seeing a rerun now and then.
We were not so much limited, but we too stayed out till dark playing most of the time and we had a nearly set bedtime too, so maybe we saw more in the winter months than the summer, except for when real young, there were always cartoons on Saturday morning.
