Need help on bringing my kids up in the 70s

AberdeenDadAberdeenDad

For some strange reason, my kids enjoy the dvds I select for watching.

So far we have seen ones such as
The Waltons
Incredible Hulk (TV series)
Quantum Leap
Robinson Crusoe
The A Team
Little House on the Prairie

I am after suggestions for what we can watch next, ideally something along the lines that we have seen and so is suitable for the kids but not mind-numbing for us grown-ups.

    marine boy that tune use to stick in my head

    I thought I must have imagined this cartoon as nobody else seems to remember it.
    Still remember the tune. :D

    Some great ideas here, thanks.
    I forgot about the bionic man and woman, they would go down well.

    Dukes of Hazzard, now there is a must get too.
    Mission Impossible is also one that we will try.
    Knight Rider, never seen it but sounds like a contender.

    They are not into animation at all, so cartoons are out.

    Some of the other suggestions I have never heard of!
    Cities of gold
    land of the giants
    time tunnel
    Thundercats
    marine boy
    WIll need to google them!

    Thanks

    How about "Sapphire & Steel" (1979-1982)?

    Also, some not mentioned so far...

    "Just William"
    "The Famous FIve"
    "The Goodies"
    "Worzel Gummidge" (although into the 1980s too)
    "Rentaghost" (the best years were in the 1970s)
    "Grange Hill" (ditto)

    ...and US "imports"...

    "The Red Hand Gang"
    "Big John, Little John"

    PS. I've not listed any 1970s cartoons. Are you looking for suggestion for those too?

    BFN,
