Retro TV

As of this morning I step into the shoes of Susan to bring more fun facts on Watching Retro TV.

Do you know that there are over one hundred television productions from 1970 – 1990’s? I haven’t even tried the remote for the earlier years of television.

It’s my hope to bring you news of DVD releases of great shows like Happy Days, WKRP in Cincinnati, Taxi and more.

Just because a show doesn’t go off the air doesn’t mean that the actor and actress dies. I’ll do my best to keep you tuned in about what these actors and actresses are doing currently.

There’s always a time for remakes or updated versions of our favorite classic hits. It’s television for the whole family.

Last but not least, during 2008 I hope to have several gifts and prizes. Readers will win gifts for putting things in order, answering trivia, and more.

Well Retro TV watchers, I hope I do the blog proud. If you have any suggestions or just want to chat feel free to contact me at the link provided.

This week I’m going to introduce a new regular feature. It’s called “Classic TV Spotlight” and will feature a different classic tv show each week. Sitcoms, dramas, cartoons, kid shows, variety shows-we’ll cover them all. Be sure to nominate your favorites! Think Gilligan is tops? Still have a crush on the Sweathogs? Do Lucy and Ethel still make you giggle? Or may the Waltons or Ingalls still touch your heart. Did you love cheering on your faves in Battle of the Network Stars or rocking to Schoolhouse Rock? Use the comments section to let me know what shows you’d like to see featured. 50s-80’s only please! The first Classic TV Spotlight will focus on “Barney Miller”, the classic and critically acclaimed sitcom that ran on ABC from 1975 to 1983. We’ll talk about the show, its stars, spin offs, fan sites, and more. Future “Spotlights” will feature the shows you vote for and more!

Before I go this week, I have to ask. Think you know it all about Classic TV? Want to test yourself? Try the Classic TV Trivia Quiz on AOL’s Television site. Do you know the name of Gargamel’s cat? Or how about Maggie Seaver’s profession? Take the quiz and find out-or if you’re really serious about Trivia, try FunTrivia.com where you’ll find two pages of classic tv quizzes. Categories range from Births and Marriages to Dream Sequences, Series’ That Lost Characters, and more. A must visit for any serious tv trivia fan!
