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.

    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


    You never heard of Thundercats THATS IT im outta here! (ps its animation as is Cities of Gold )

    Good ideas there fp, they loved the remale of Just WIlliam last year so the original may be a good one. I shall google the US ones shortly.

    csiman - thanks for those - different strokes will appeal (I think!) as will bionic man for sure.

    ...Knight Rider, never seen it but sounds like a contender...


    What?

    You'll be telling us next you have never seen "The Professionals"!
    I have seen the Professionals - it starred a neighbour of mine :) I actually stated to watch it when I was working in Romania where it was on every evening - great stuff!

    omg mate you never heard of land of the giants
    Nope, never heard of it. We did not have a TV in the house when I was young, for my parents it was a luxury we could not afford.

    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?
