Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army for me over here in the UK. All classic comedy programs that I wish were still on air.
 
Me and my daughter watched Sylvester and Tweety this morning on Cartoon network. It was so much fun. I'd forgotten how funny those cartoons are.
 
Some of the most memorable for me are...

Classic Quantum Leap
Classic Doctor Who
Star Trek Next Generation
The Third Eye
The Greatest American Hero
Alf
Voltron
 
  • Tom & Jerry
  • Courage the Cowardly Dog
  • The earlier seasons of Pokemon
  • Basically everything that aired on Toonami and Adult Swim late at night in the early 2000s
  • Not necessarily a TV show, but I remember enjoying a lot of the older James Bond movies
  • Looney Tunes
  • All in the Family

I'm way behind on most TV shows anyway. So all the shows I watch are old schoo. Currently watching the second season of Breaking Bad as well as third season of Batlestar Gallactica. The episodes I'm watching now are very old. Can't wait to get to newer episodes (or even spin offs such as Caprica).

Same! I tend to not watch series unless they're finished because I just don't remember to watch when they air each week. Makes it easier to binge when I really get into it, and I can take my time watching it if I don't get that into it. Very rarely do I watch something that's currently releasing episodes these days. (Most recent series I watched that still had episodes coming out at the time I was watching it was Shelter during the late summer, early fall.)
 
If we’re talking really old school, I’ll go with Happy Days. I’ve watched all that show quite a few times.
 
Happy Days is my go-to but I rarely get the time to watch it on regular TV. I might have it on my internet channels for my smart TV though. Adam West Batman is fun. I didn't get to see a lot of older cartoons as a kid. I grew up with 2000s stuff and sometimes my parents wouldn't let me watch stuff so I was lucky if they didn't get up at 7:00 am.
