2. Flipper, Lassie, Lassie's Rescue Rangers, Captain Kangaroo, Muppets, Munsters, and Looney Toons.

Those were When I was young. I watched the Smurfs in Germany before they came to the U.S.

As I got older I watched The Love boat, Fantasy Island, Six Million Dollar man, Bionic Women, Gilligan's Island, Greatest American Hero, Little House On The Prairie, and knight Rider.

I know there is more but I can't remember them.

4. I LOVED Lassie's Rescue Rangers!

Of course, I was five or so at the time. If I had a chance to watch the show again, I probably wouldn't, fearing it hadn't held up over time...

5. OMG!!! Someone knows that show too!

I never have talked to anyone who remembered that show. I sometimes wondered if was a real memory. Well, now I have back up that it was real.

6. It was definitely real. My brother and I would always re-enact the plots after watching the show.

He always insisted on being Lassie.

The thing I remember most is the head of the team and his very 1970's neck ascot. Very fashion-forward...

7. Hey, I played Lassie also but I had to play by myself.

My brother was to many years ahead of me and he was a bookworm.

For some odd reason I always liked the fire watch towers.
