of?
For me there are a few
Snoop Sisters, this show from the 70's starred the Great Helen Hayes.
Feather and Father this was from the 70's about a lawyer and her con man father, with Harry Gould and Stephanie Powers
Tenspeed and Brownshoe another 70's show with Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum
the Hat Squad from the early 90's it was campy, but sweet and if taken for fun it was a great show, if taken to seriously then of course it was schlock.
The Bugaloos, I loved this when I was 5,
The Dumplings was a sitcom in 1976 lasted only one season with James Coco

I remember Tenspeed and Brownshoe :) But I do know of many shows that most don't seem to remember.
Tucker's Witch: Staring Chathrine Hicks as Amanda Tucker, a witch who was married to Rick Hunter played by Tim Matheson who was a private detective. It was a funny show but it didn't last very long. I liked it though.
Automan: Starred Dezi Arnez Jr as a cop who is a computer expert and creates a computer generated superhero called Automan. Another one I liked but didn't last very long:
Outlaws: Dealt with a group of cowboy outlaws and the sheriff chasing them who due to a freak storm go from the 1800's to the 1980's. It was really funny and well done as a detective show.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Richard Dean Anderson starred in this show based off the play/movie musical and yes it had singing and dancing in it. It was cute.
Not sure if you remember any of these but hope so.

I loved those shows, I remember Tucker's Witch, I was so disapointed when it was cancelled.
I watched automan a few times, never got into it though. I think because it wasn't on enough.
Outlaws was great with Rod Taylor, and Richard Roundtree, they had the double eagles.
and I loved Seven Brides for Seven Brothers I was very disappoitned when that went off the air, I loved the movie it was based on as well. In the movie Hannah was not the wife's name it was the name of the first child. it was only on for one season around 86
I also liked a sit com called Hot L Baltimore, it was another one season show it was ahead of its time I think. It was funny though.
If you ever remember a show but can't quite remember something about it you can check out a site www.tv.com
it lists so many shows, that I remember but no one else seems to, because it lists everything.
Another show I liked but only ever saw it in reruns and not can't find anywhere was the Rat Patrol
Thanks for the reminders of some good shows, it is appreciated.

I vaguely remember Hot L Baltimore. I remember the name anyways.
Yeah they changed the name of the bride in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I have the original movie with Howard Keel. I love the songs in it :)
Do you remember the show Stingray? It was on usually late at night. Dealt with a guy who drove a 68 black stingray and went around helping people. He didn't get paid but they would then owe him favors and he'd collect them later on. I loved that show but they kept bouncing it around make it hard to find.
I also liked the 100 lives of Captain Black Jack Savage. Dealt with a ghost of a pirate who had to repay the 100 lives he'd killed. It was a cute show.

Yes I remember stingray, though the 100 lives of Captain sounds familiar I am not sure I remember it.
I also remember that about Stingray, it was almost as if they were extending prime time, they would have some shows on after the news. The one about the judge I mentioned was one of them, Stingray was another, the other shows for the other nights were not that great I don't really remember them.
If you are a Kramer fan from Seinfeld {I never watch seinfeld] do you remember Marblehead Manor?
It was when the Fox network first started up, they had a different show on every day at 7:30 pm sitcoms that were half hour prior to prime time.
I was so upset when they cancelled that show, there just are not to many shows when you laugh for every episode. Come to think of it as far as I can remember that one and Hot L Baltimore were the only two I did laugh every episode.

The Bugaloos was just so much fun, and I still smile when I think about it, and with Martha Raye's natural features exagerated she was the perfect villan.
This was just fun, not a half hour comercial about merchandising, lol of course it had its good moral points to make about friendship and doing the right thing, but it was the time I suppose.
Caroline Ellis aka Joy did a series called the Freewheelers after the Bugaloos, but I don't think she really did anything after that.
I liked I.Q, my sister liked Courage, lol poor Harmony doesn't seem to have been a fav.
