The Waltons, IMO.

Very good quality programming. Lots of actors/actresses which lends itself to multiple plots. We have seasons 1 & 2 on DVD and are looking forward to the rest.

I vote for The Sopranos, Oz, or Real Sex. We're an odd bunch, however.

I like Ozzie and Harriet.  It was hard not to want to grow up in a family like Ricky and Dave's.  Father Knows Best, no way.

ETA, considering this ran 14 years (435 episodes) from 1952-1966 I can see MANY, if not most of ar15.com did not see one episode.

First thing I thought of when I read the thread title.
Hated it as a kid, loved it in my mid-late 30s.
Very good show and the original retro-show.

John Boy would be a cross-dresser and Ralph Waite would be growing weed up on Walton's Mountain if it were made today.

James Evans, Sr. was one of the best fathers on television (Good Times, 1974-1979) and CBS never should have killed him off.  Cosby was LAME.

The first three seasons (early 70s) were some outstanding television.  As the Walton children grew and other characters were introduced, IMO the storylines became convoluted and the new characters and situations were just not as interesting.

When the Walton grandparents died, the show jumped the shark.

The key word there is  Family. I may be old fashioned but don't think most shows today  are family oriented. The ones I like are....

Little house on the praire
Andy Griffith
The Waltons
Bonanza
The rifleman
Gentle Ben

Newer shows
Malcolm in the middle
Stargate SG1
Stargate Atlantis
Star Trek TNG (there are life lessons to be learned if you pay attention)

Most people these days have never seen it but the best one I ever saw was Turn Off the TV and Go Outside And Use Your Imagination.

It's amazing that our children today can't go from their room to the school without a DVD.  I truly believe that the greatest loss of current generations has been their imagination.  They are force-fed their imagination for them.  Very sad.

While the series aired on television, only Grandpa died. Grandma was around for one or two of the TV movie reunions that were made in the '90s.

You're right.  IIRC, Grandma left the show due to an extended illness. (stroke?)

Regardless, when Grandma and Grandpa left the show, much of the show's original chemistry was gone.

I can't believe nobody's said it yet: I Love Lucy

Followed (IMHO) by Andy Griffith. I also vote for Star Trek:TNG (just 'cause I grew up with it) and "The Wonder Years", but there's some material in those programs that make them not-quite-suitable for the entire family spectrum.

And thanks to Tomislav for that snake eyed pic of Barney.
