Every Saturday night was an event when the whole family tuned-in together to watch a fantastic line-up of television. I bet you remember those nights fondly:
All in the Family – The Jeffersons – Mary Tyler Moore – The Bob Newhart Show – and The Carol Burnett Show. That was the icing on the cake and the cherry on top! It’s hard to believe we were ever spoiled with these riches.
