Need help on bringing my kids up in the 70s
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.

Jump to unread Post a CommentI 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.

Loved Open All Hours - still do TBH.
Yes it is excellent, been watched already fairly recently though. The Sweeney is a hoot to watch now, so unPC too, but not sure if it is for the kids just yet.
Is Roots more of a teens + programme?
