Some More Of My Favourite Shows From The 70s and 80s

Hi guys, welcome back to Big Blog Theory, I hope you’re all doing well. A little while ago, I did a post, talking about all my favourite TV shows from the 70s. Since then, I have been watching some more shows from that time and I’ve got some more favourites and I’m here to share some of them. Lately, I’ve been going down a weird rabbit hole of 60s/ 70s television and I’ve been having so much fun. It’s really cool to see how different the whole TV networking thing was in those times. It was more about entertainment and creativity rather than preaching and gender politics that’s why I prefer TV programmes from the 70s, 80s and the 60s. My three favourite shows from the 60s have to be The Champions, Randall and Hopkirk and The Persuaders, I just have so much fun watching these shows. I think I might be obsessed with Randall and Hopkirk, it’s like my favourite show ever, haha. My dad recommended this show to me and now I’m obsessed.

My top seven favourite shows are Citizen Smith, The Cuckoo Waltz, Please Sir, Doctor In The House, Watching, Animal Quackers, Upstairs, Downstairs, I’m just obsessed with these seven shows, I watch them all the time. Every morning and every evening, I watch an episode of Upstairs Downstairs and I just love this show so much, I think I’m obsessed. Every morning, I put on an episode of On The Buses as well and my brother watches it all the time. I also love Citizen Smith, The Cuckoo Waltz because they just put a smile on my face. The Cuckoo Waltz will always have a special place in my heart, Lewis Collins is brilliant in this show, I love his character and he’s just so cute. I know Lewis Collins from The Professionals, playing the role of our amazing Bodie and he’s just absolutely fantastic in that and so it’s really cool to see him in more of a light hearted comedy sitcom. Please Sir is another one of my favourite shows, brilliant show, always has me in hysterics and dying of laughter every episode. Doctor in the house is another one of my favourites, so hilarious and so brilliant, just a bunch of medical students running around causing chaos, Doctor In Charge is really good too, even though Barry Evans isn’t in it, but I think it’s still just as funny.

So those are my top seven picks, these are the shows I just can’t get enough of. In the 70s, you were kind of spoilt for choice, so many great shows to choose from. I know that there were some shows that shat the bed but they’re so much better than the shit we have on the telly nowadays, I’d rather watch them than half the shit they churn out nowadays. I’m a bit of a geek, I love watching stuff, whether it’s films or TV shows. I just love good writing. When you find that one show that’s right for you, you just fall in love with it and that’s exactly what happened to me. I have completely fallen in love with the show, Upstairs Downstairs. I don’t know what it is but I just can’t get enough of this show. Normally, I can’t watch period dramas of any sort but this is the only one I can actually sit down and enjoy. I just love all the characters, I love the stories for every episode, I never thought I’d love this show that much. So yeah, that right there is my jam at the moment.

There are some other really good ones too. The Gentle Touch is one of my favourites, love a good crime detective show and I also can’t get enough of Minder, The Professionals and The Sweeney, that’s my shit. I also really love Dempsey and Makepeace, I just love so many TV shows it’s really hard to narrow it down to one.

I’ve got some other favourite shows from the 80s too. Such as The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, A Fine Romance, Home To Roost, The Liver Birds, Scully and more

So yeah, that’s all I’ve got to share with you today, Hope this gave you a little insight into my TV preferences and the kinds of shows I’m obsessed with at the moment. I’m an old soul and I’m also a hopeless romantic so I love so many old shows and sitcoms and I’m proud of that. Thank you for reading my post, I hope you all have a lovely day, love you guys
