Recently I watched episodes from the first season of “The Waltons”.. What a great show! I’ve never seen any of the early shows from the first season before. I’ve watched the show sometimes when it originally aired, but I was wondering why I wasn’t watching it more often on Thursday nights, so I checked to see what was running opposite of it at that time..
I was born in 1971, and the show started airing in 1973.
In 1976 – 78 I was watching Welcome Back Kotter and What’s Happening!! (and CHiPs) .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%E2%80%9377_United_States_network_television_schedule
In 1978 / 79 it was Mork & Mindy, and What’s Happening!! (and Project UFO).
In 1979 – 81 it was Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century..
.. Tsk in retrospect other than What’s Happening!! I wish I would have watched The Waltons instead. Such are the dilemmas that people had back then before VCRs.. (ha ha)
