[diamondfan]

I loved:

Charlie's Angels (we played and I got to be Jill or Chris because I was the blonde!)
Love Boat
Bewitched
I Love Lucy
Carol Burnett Show
Fantasy Island
Patridge Family
Brady Bunch
Miami Vice
Soap
Dynasty
Dallas
Knot's Landing
That's Incredible
Laugh In
Battle of the Network Stars when it was on
I loved soap operas too, different networks at different times.

Mash was hard, I loved it, but my dad looked exactly like Alan Alda and had been a flight surgeon in Korea so it was hard to watch, my dad died in 1981 so the show and even the reruns really got me.
