I love Linda Carter wonder woman love Charlie's Angels abc had great shows in there lineup
Since you have an antenna check out the channels CATCHY comedy, Heroes and Icons (H&I), and MeTV.
On H&I Saturday afternoons from 12-4 they show 1980s Macgyver 12-2, Martial Law (2-3) and Lethal Weapon (3-4).
Gulf your in luck on H&I they show Wonder Woman on Saturday at 11 am and Sundays at 10 am!
nikko, thanks for the great recommendations! Of the 3 channels you recommended, I only get MeTV and have watched it sometimes. I have my own copies of OG RDA Macgyver and can watch any episode (or movie) on a whim. I think I last binge watched all the way through about 12 months ago, followed by Stargate SG-1 and all subsequent movies and TV series through Stargate Universe.
Speaking of Stargate, a new series produced by Amazon with former OG producers has already begun filming in the UK. I'm looking forward to more Stargate.
I still watch enough modern stuff that I divide my time between new and old. The massive gaps between modern TV seasons can now last as long as years unfortunately. While some of it is great, it can also be so dark that I honestly think certain shows are written by unstable psychopaths that lack all concepts of boundaries. My go-to example of such writing is always "The 100". I won't give specifics to avoid spoilers and because that would get off topic. However, those factors (gaps between modern seasons and going too dark) absolutely contributed to me seeking out a dependable source of old reruns and shows from a more "wholesome" era.

Yessir! I grew up watching Linda Carter as Wonder Woman and outfit changes every 5 minutes. Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in The Incredible Hulk too.
I added Wonder Woman to my watch list. Not sure how long it'll take me to get around to it since the list is already long and keeps growing.
I also added ALF.
I like to look stuff up on IMDb; often details on actresses. I looked up a TNG guest and found she got her start as a dancer in the Fame tv show and was later offered the chance to act.
The Wikipedia page for the Fame tv series made the strangest claim that "Despite its success, few of the actors maintained high-profile careers after the series was cancelled."
On IMDb, I scrolled through the cast for the entire series which was huge. It was practically a "Who's Who" list of Hollywood.
Two examples of actors that didn't "maintain high-profile careers":
Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson)
Don Cheadle (MCU's War Machine)
I'll only list 4 names as they relate to this topic:
Rob Morrow best known from Northern Exposure (added to my watch list)
And three big actress crushes:
Nia Peeples, Cynthia Gibb, and Jasmine Guy
Okay, I'm cheating on my own "from when you were young (no older than 18)" "rule" in my OG post, but this one is far too good to not make an exception:
American Gothic
Despite only being one season, it was an instant cult classic.
The cast included Brenda Bakke. She clearly had a gym body, but maintained herself below the threshold of the GWM galleries. Beyond any other single actress I can think of, she exuded jaw dropping sex appeal.
Both had an endless parade of swimsuit model types as "guest stars".
All the dorky "hero car" genre shows...
Hardcastle and McCormick (hero car "Coyote X")
Riptide (normal helicopter, still hero of show)
Sci-fi...
Comedy...
Reruns...
The Muppet Show
Milton Berle Vs. Statler & Waldorf (Youtube)
I'd never seen this one before. Extremely funny!
Please don't bump threads repeatedly unless someone has had a chance to reply or an adequate amount of time has passed.
I took the liberty of editing your previous comment to include your additional one (which is something that should be done in future cases).
This makes the first time I recall seeing this "rule" anyplace on the forum, and I proactively look for rules and admin preferences I've not seen periodically. I didn't consider it a thread "bump", but I get the idea. I happened across the two videos on Youtube this morning about an hour apart. Both seemed appropriate for this thread and I just posted each after viewing it myself. Thank you for preserving the post by merging it into the one above and not deleting it outright. Consider it resolved now that I'm aware of the preference as you explained it.

Which is understandable, and also why it is a rule that is enforced from time to time. This is not a "strike on your record" or anything as corporate... Just a friendly "just so you know".
I love these nostalgic synth theme remakes by KOS Music.

My first time seeing this one. Perfectamundo!
I can't believe I forgot to list The Addams Family until now! 😲🤦♂️
I was a kid when I got into pro wrestling, specifically the WWF during the tail end of the "New Generation" era. I got fully into it when the Attitude Era and Monday Night Wars were in full swing. To this date, despite some aspects of the era not aging as well, it was the most exciting time to be a wrestling fan, and I'm not sure we will ever have a similar era like that again.

I never looked into the reasons, but I've always found it strange that they were WWF when I was a kid and at some point switched to WWE because "reasons" and "World Wildlife Foundation" etc. Ever since, I've been awaiting a rematch where Bambi hoofs "The Hunter" from the top rope.
AND DOWN GOES THE HUNTER IN A BRUTAL TAKEDOWN BY BAMBI!
You know Jake, I've never seen anything like it!!
AND HE'S OUT!! THE HUNTER IS OUT! BAMBI IS THE NEW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD WILDLIFE FOUNDATION!!!
-- I guess I better add Bambi to the list now too.
I don't recall what "era" it would've been, but we still had Andre The Giant with us, and I'm talking pre Princess Bride. Isn't that "Mabulous! Just mabulous!"...
And now I better add Princess Bride.
Everything Mel Brooks, so...

I completely forgot there were two Outer Limits until you mentioned it. (They were controlling my memory transmission.)
Instead of personal stories of your exploits this one time at band camp, reminisce about your favorite tv shows, movies, actors, actresses, and (non-muscle) celebrity crushes from when you were young (no older than 18).
I'll start...
About a year ago I finally added a digital over-the-air TV antenna and discovered "Antenna TV" which airs all kinds of stuff from when I was a kid, and even stuff from before I was born. It's become my default channel where it's the first thing I see turning my TV on. I frequently discover unexpected surprises like episodes of the George and Gracie Show, guests on the Jack Benny Show like 18 year old Ann Margaret singing a very upbeat rendition of Sad and Lonely (she was always beautiful). Those were before my time, but reruns often found their way to me.
I get to rewatch Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie... Oh boy, I hadn't yet hit puberty back then so seeing a young Barbara Eden now has a whole new dimension... Yowsah!!
One Day at a Time reminding me why even before puberty I had such a crush on a young Valerie Bertinelli.
I recently binge watched Star Trek TOS, and now I'm binge watching TNG.
Sometimes I step back from the binge and watch an episode of the original Cosmos with Carl Sagan.
Who's next in line for sharing?
