Show42, I was happy to see someone else likes ATWT. I watched that show forever. I remember Mom used to make us sit and watch with her and the show was only 15 minutes long. I tape it everyday now, it seems like part of me.

My Mother and grandmother used to watch ATWT. When the theme music came on my brothers, sister, and I knew it was our nap time.

I'm usually a lurker, but this thread reminded me of some old favorites:

The Defenders--early 60's lawyer show, very daring for its time.
(It's where I first heard the word "abortion," and my father nearly fainted when I asked him what it meant.)
The Andy Griffith Show--my all-time favorite
Dick VanDyke--probably second favorite
Hawaiian Eye--I was a teenager and had a big crush on Robert Conrad.
Rawhide
Alfred Hitchcock
I Love Lucy
That Girl--I used to wonder how a struggling actress who never really had a job could dress as well as Marlo Thomas.
Mission Impossible
Laugh-In
Twilight Zone

In daytime TV:
Queen for a Day
Truth or Consequences

Happy memories!
