And, of course, me being girlie...I loved Lassie and Black Beauty...and there was another about a horse called My Friend Flicka, and another called Fury! I didn't like Zorro much, but I loved Tonto...I'm part American Indian, so Tonto got my love. I hated the Brady Bunch...just remembered that one...ick.

My Three Sons
Walt Disney

The Flashing Blade.It was on shown on UK TV during the six week summer holiday in the 70's and I still remember the great theme song!
It was dubbed, the story was about French musketeers fighting the Spanish--but we didn't care.We loved it

Grown Ups TV I Loved to Watch:

Kojak
Quincy

I'll add, Knight Rider, The A Team, Cagney and Lacey, Dallas, Space: 1999, Vega$, The Return of the Saint, CHIPS, The Professionals, Minder, Bullseye, Coronation Street, Taxi, Dick Turpin, The Muppet Show, Only Fools and Horses, The Love Boat, Auf Weidersehen, Pet + lots more.

I recall there were a lot of great theme tunes in those days even for shows I didn't watch much.

When I was a kid Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrane were probably my favourite comedic double act on Television.

I loved The Dukes of Hazzard, Emergency, Scarecrow and Mrs King, St. Elsewhere, Fame, the Donnie and Marie show

Grew up on Bugs Bunny and all the Looney Tunes gang. Learned my English watching that, and also Sesame Street.

When I got a little older, Three’s Company was the hit show for me on anglophone TV.

English lessons in school were useless. I really learned from watching TV.

So basically you speak American English.  Growing up you should have watched Brideshead Revisited.

Sorry, but I speak Canadian English, which sounds exactly the same as American English, but more polite.
