Any old timers remember this? It was on from 1974-1975. I was born in 1974. I figure I remember watching these on syndication in the late seventies/early eighties..
Anybody watch these?

Yep. Reading Wikipedia now. First came two teevee movies and then the series. I loved these as a kid. I need to watch 'em again. Can only kinda remember one plot with a vampire. Youtubing the movies this weekend. I hope I find them.

I loved these as a kid, I was born in 67 but it was on after bed time so I only saw a few episodes during the first run. There's a station up here that runs all the old classic shows, Quincey, Magnum, Kojak, The Rockford files, etc... They were running these on weekends so I got to re-watch them all. I think Chiller still shows them too.

I think I briefly got that station last year. if its the same they also showed the old Hulk teevee series. I need those on DVD. Loved 'em growing up. Teevee in the seventies was more interesting to me than all this reality shiite and American Idol clones. Like The Six-Million Dollar Man with Andre the Giant playing Bigfoot or Buck Rogers. Just blurs of memories for me now. Got some searching to do.....

I was in second grade when the 6 million dollar man was first on, we had to be in bed right after bewitched, at 7:30 and that was on at 8:00 so I didn't see much until it was on in repeats. It's funny that the first thing I remember about that show is my friends at school talking about how cool it was but I couldn't watch it.

That's how my neices are being raised. They read constantly for fun. But they are taken to the movie theater very often. Probably better that way. Teevee raised me into the freak I am today.
My parents were kind of ancient when they had me, and were too tired to parent the way they had with my older brothers. Teevee served as a surrogate parent.
That is how I discovered SOAP at an early age on syndication broadcast late at night from Channel 5 in LA I think.
I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by the age of eight and my first porn at age ten. And by twelve I had seen Eraserhead a half dozen times as well as TCM and Pink Flamingoes. THAT is a scary movie. Divine still disturbs me.
