Greatest Television Shows of the 1970′s – Our Top 5 [VIDEO]
Happy Days
Everyone knows the theme song and the cast. Happy Days starred Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Scott Baio, Marion Ross and Tom Bosley. The show ran from 1974-1984 but can probably still be found playing on TV Land.
Mary Tyler Moore
The Mary Tyler Moore show starred none other than Mary Tyler Moore. The show ran from 1970-1977 and many believe this to be the best show from the entire decade. We can't disagree with it being a great show, but a few other shows stuck out to us for our list.
The Waltons
The Waltons followed the Ingalls during the Depression. The Waltons ran from 1972 to 1981. Some believe it to be the best family show ever created.
All in the Family
Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton sing the theme song on this classic show that ran from 1971-1979. All in the Family follows the lives of Archie and Edith Bunker, along with Gloria and Michael Stivic. Gloria, the daughter of Archie and Edith, was played by Sally Struthers while Michael, or Meathead, was played by Rob Reiner.
M*A*S*H
Hands down one of the greatest shows ever made. M*A*S*H ran from 1972-1983 and had the biggest tv show finale ratings of all time. Starring Alan Alda and a crew of many, M*A*S*H tops our list as the greatest show from the 1970s. There never seem to be any good videos from the theme song but here is one of the best we found .
