Love, American Style
This was an anthology comedy series from 1969 to 1974, and got its title from a popular film of the time Divorce, Italian Style. Each episode would contain several unrelated storiee, each having a title beginning 'Love and....'. The extremely popular series Happy Days got its start on Love, American Style when its unsold pilot was shown as one of the stories.

Ok, who remembers these American sitcoms?:

Throb
Alice
...

we got it made was basically a man about the house rip-off shown on BBC1 around 1983, except with two guys and a "ditzy" blonde.

Throb starred Diana Canova from Soap as a record label owner

Alice was based on the scorcese movie alice doesn't live here anymore, and was actually quite funny. it was shown on channel four circa 1984.

I remember Rhoda. Valerie Harper played Rhoda and I think it was a spin-off from The Mary tyler Moore Show. BBC2 showed it in the UK.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Starstrider which was a Children's ITV programme that ran for two series from 1984 to 1985. Roger Sloman was the presenter in the first series.

There was some sort of horse / bronco thing involved that went round and round, and I think there was some sort of schools quiz as well - schools were brought to the studio by coachload methinks.

An episode from the first series actually went out on my sixth birthday - we had just come home from my very first visit to McDonald's to find it on the television.

I've heard of it, but never seen it. Wasn't Tina Heath (another Blue Peter presenter) in it?

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

anyone recall a show called seaview with yvette fielding before she was on blue peter about a family running a hotel in blackpool

And wasn't Maggie Ollerenshaw in it too?

Talking of Blue Peter presenters, there was a series called "A Swish of the Curtain", with Sarah Greene, before she was on Blue Peter.

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Kit Curran Radio Show. It was on in the early 80s yet no-one else my age seems to remember it

I used to like this. Dennis Lawson (out of "Star Wars" and "Local Hero") starred, along with Clive Merrisom, Paul Brooke, and Lindsey Duncan, as I recall. Loved the theme tune!

Re: TV Shows Only You Seem To Remember

Here's another one - 'Break In The Sun', a six-part 1981 BBC childrens' TV drama about schoolgirl Patsy Bligh who moved from Margate to London with her mother and cruel stepdad (played by Brian 'Terry The Chef' Hall). I remember that the drama was all about Patsy running away from home to Margate to the house of an elderly woman who was a former neighbour who she had got on well with. At one point she joined the crew of a sailng boat called 'Escapade'. When she reached the elderly woman's house it turned out she had died and there was a new family living there. At that point the stepdad caught up with Patsy, and the series finished with a showdown at Bembom Brothers (as it was called then) theme park in Margate. I'd like to see this on DVD, but it's probably not well remembered enough to be released.

Just looking back over this thread. "Break in the Sun" was one I was going to mention. I remember aspects of it.
