Capt. Kangaroo was my favorite show, growing up. Thanks to the internet, you can still watch some old clips. :)

My dad liked watching Daktari.
 
What counts as "old"?

When I was a kid, there wasn't a whole lot on tv except PBS, Discovery Channel, and anything else nature-related. Every night, we did watch the evening news, and the prime time stuff. Cosby Show, Family Ties, etc. I don't have any particular fondness or dislikefor any of them. They were on. *shrug* (Well,maybeMagnum PI, LOL!) I do recall really liking The Wonder Years, but I can't remember much of it now. I never did like cartoons, still don't, but I did love to watch The Muppet Show.

Now. If we're talking shows that are no longer on the air that I miss, there are a few. Don't know if they count as "old" though.

Norther Exposure, Quantum Leap, The X-Files were all excellent shows. I still watch them on dvd now and again.

I grew up in the Walter Cronkite days of the 1970's, and the 6:30 news was the de-facto standard. Everybody watched it. Everybody got a newspaper back then, too. I still get a daily newspaper, but I must admit, I don't watch the network news anymore. The main reason I still subscribe to a daily local paper is because I hate it's website, and I'm a terrible romantic about print publications, and most old things, in general. :p
 
some of my favorite cartoons were:
He-man and She-ra
My Little Ponies(yes I know!)
Gummi Bears(we did a theme song day at BARD once, I was singing that one!)
Rescue Rangers
The Littles (I think that's the name)
The Mario Brothers/Legend of Zelda- had to watch those with my little brother after school
Lion Voltron
Thundercats
Johnny Quest
Sailor Moon(only season 1-3 i think)

For non Cartoon:
Providence- dead sucker for Melinda K loved that actress
Dukes of Hazzard (reruns in the 90's on TNT started it)
 
OMG My Little Ponies...Yes that was great!!!

One of my fav movies Is "The Odd Couple" and the original "Parent Trap"
 
Hey, what about "Green Acres"? Used the opening song for the "caption contest" as it reminded me of the show a little. Lot's of others, but most are already mentioned by others here. Going way back, there was "You bet your life" with Groucho, "One Step Beyond", "Science Fiction Theatre" and on Saturday Morning, "The Andy Devine Show". All on that little, round, bland and white cathode ray tube. (50's)

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

As time goes by with Judi Dench... It always makes me ccry.

Yes! Me too. And Little House on the Prarie.

We also liked our detective dramas: Quincy, Cannon, Columbo, Kojak, and the Rockford Files.

Does anybody remember Dark Shadows? Ick, NOT my favorite. Too scary!! All of you vampire show fans...this was the forerunner!

I LOVE LUCY!!!

Hazel, Andy Griffith, and Hogan's Heroes...

And alittle British humor here...Are you Being Served?

I helped restore the shutters in the mansion that was used to film Dark Shadows - Lockwood Matthews Mansion in Norwalk, CT. Very cool old building that the city almost ruined by not taking care of it.

Loved the Little House on the Prairie series and Sunday Disney movies...and Flipper, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch (campy but silly), Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, The Dukes of Hazzard, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, Family Affair, Benny Hill, Carol Burnett, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Land of the Lost, the Banana Splits and H.R. Pufnstuf and my all time favorite, Mr. Ed!

That's a good show. My mother just recently turned me on to it. Eloise, from Lost, reminds me of Judi Dench.
