Old TV shows/ Series you remember watching.

when I was a little kid in the early 1980s I would watch the Rich Little Christmas special whenever it came on. I think he was a member of Saturday Night Live at the time or something. I should look for it on YouTube to rewatch it.
You're probably thinking of Rich Hall who was on SNL in the 1990s.

Rich Little is an much older comedian with a career dating back to the 1960s. He was already a big star by the time SNL started and a not really someone SNL would look to join the cast

No. I am thinking of Rich Little, I still remember watching his weird Christmas Carol thing on HBO.

By the way I said I think Rich Little was on Saturday Night Live while he was doing his HBO stuff back then. I didn't say he was a member. I said I think he was or whatever.

Still, I still am right about him doing his Christmas thing on HBO back then anyway
 
I think I'm one of the few people that still remember the weird dark Christmas Carol tv movie starring black people. its called John Grin's Christmas. movie was odd and kind of dark story more darker than a regular Christmas Carol movie.

Robert Guillaume was in it.

I didn't say he didn't do specials on HBO, just that he was never on SNL. I've been watching Rich Little since i was a kid. He was all over TV in the 60s and 70s. I was big fan.

I first saw Mr. Guillaume in the TV show Benson as a kid, not realizing it was a spinoff of another show called Soap. He later went on to voice the mandrill Rafiki in The Lion King, played Isaac Jaffe in Aaron Sorkin's dramedy Sports Night, and was the first black actor to play the title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. His stage name was actually a mostly French version of his given surname, Williams.
 
Magnum PI, I did watch a lot of Murder She Wrote when I was young, Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes, David Suchet Poirot, Are You Being Served & As Time Goes By (British shows on PBS)
Ditto. I watched ALL of these. Even had the Tom Selleck poster all through middle and high school.

According to IMDB, Rich Little did a one-man version of a Christmas Carol.

How about the various Sid and Marty Kroft productions and other live action Saturday morning shows?
H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost, Far Out Space Nuts, The Lost Saucer, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
Then there's The Secret of Isis, Shazam!, Bigfoot and Wildboy, Space Command, Jason of Star Command and Ark II.

Saw most of those. The Kroft shows were pretty wild. And as a comic book kid and specifically a Captain Marvel fan, I had to watch Shazam!

Out of all of those the ones I remember watching were

Sigmund the sea monster
HR Puffnstuff
Land of the lost
Far Out Space Nuts
The Lost Saucer which I really wanted a happy ending for but it never happened

The secret of Isis was fun

Jason of Star Command was neat for its time

Also Ark II but that wasn't a Kroft thing.

Hey do you remember Korg? That was a weekly 30 minute show about cavemen

I looked it up on Wikipedia and that one seems to have escaped my attention. Probably because it was up against the Saturday morning CBS line-up.

Speaking of Saturday mornings - everyone knew it was time to go outside and play once American Bandstand and Soul Train had finished airing.
