What did we do before cable?

It was Clarkston, Michigan, about 30 years ago. Channel 20 out of Detroit showed the best TV in syndication every afternoon. I would walk home from school and plop down in front of the television and watch Batman, Ultraman or Johnny Sacco and His Flying Robot, The Brady Bunch, Superman, Emergency, etc. I don't remember what else I would watch, but that was a good two hours of TV.

Later, great shows (at the time not yet in syndication) on prime time television included:

CHiPs
The Dukes of Hazzard
Hulk
Miami Vice
Family Ties
The Greatest American Hero

And on Sunday mornings when we would visit Grandma and Grandpa Morgan after we moved up to Kingsley: The Hardy Boys.

Great Saturday afternoon TV when you had to subscribe to The Sporting News, Baseball Digest, and read The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, and Traverse City Record–Eagle to keep up on the Tigers: TWIB.

And just for fun, you can drink a Pepsi Light.

Time flies. Fast. What's your favorite old TV show? Is it?
