I actually remember how much shit the church groups gave this show. They wanted it off the air ASAP.
same here. I was born in 89, and loved watching Nick@Nick during that era.
The only ones I saw on TV syndication growing up were the Warner Bros. cartoons and the 1967 Spider-Man show. I watched most of the others on home video.
I've been getting into 1950s sketch comedy shows recently: Texaco Star Theater, Colgate Comedy Hour, Your Show of Shows and The Jackie Gleason Show.
Star Trek
Mission Impossible
Bewitched
Perry Mason, but I had to hunt that out later myself on DVD, we only got the TV movies in the late 80s/early 90s, they never showed the tv series.

Yeah I wish it were on iTunes so could add it to my comedy collection.
Gilligan's Island, Happy Days and Brady Bunch were the big ones.
Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie were up there too.

Also Golden Girls, Murder She Wrote, MacGyver but that was technically contemporary for the later few seasons, but still mostly watched syndication.

While there were a lot of syndicated shows that I liked watching as a kid, but my top 5 would probably be:
The Munsters
The Addams Family
Twilight Zone
Gilligan's Island
Tales from the Darkside - Technically the show was still going during my time, but I was only three when it was canceled. So I say it counts. :)

Grew up in the 70s. Watched a lot of looney tunes and Tom and Jerry, but my mind was blown when I started watching Rocky and Bullwinkle and especially Green Acres. Both so incredibly batshit... I still love them.
Star Trek.
The Twilight Zone.
The Outer Limits.
The Waltons.
I kind of want to say Star Trek: The Next Generation, since I was in the lower single-digits age-wise while it was originally airing and I didn't really understand much at all. It wasn't until around the middle of DS9 or so that I got to watch TNG with a 10-year-old's mindset barely capable of comprehending it. :P

I watched a ton of the Addams Family, Star Trek TOS, Star Trek TNG, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo/Flintstones/Super Friends/vintage Hanna-barbera cartoons.
Combat!
Loved this show as a kid. I would watch it in the afternoons, then go outside and blow up my little green army men.

Variety shows like that used to be really popular. Sonny and Cher had a good one.
On a recent episode of Family Guy they made a reference to The Hudson Brothers' Razzle Dazzle Show. That brought back some nostalgia memories of that goofy show.
The Munsters, I Love Lucy, Three's Company (the later episodes weren't before my time), The Monkees (yup, I got into The Monkees during the 80s revival back in the day), Adam West Batman, Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, The Jetsons (older episodes, though I watched the 80s episodes as a kid as they airred), and Gilligan's Island.

Star trek, batman, good times, sanford and son, alice. Loved old tv shows as a kid. I had issues with insomnia and would stay up watching old sitcoms on nick at night.
I watched a ton of TV as a kid, but the only older shows I actively enjoyed was 60s Batman, Get Smart, Gilligan's island and Looney Toons. I know that I've seen Bewitched, Happy Days, The Flintstones etc, but I'm not sure I actually ever liked them very much.
Quite a lot, though some may have been still going but were coming to a close soon. Sanford & Son, Laverne and Shirley, One Day at a Time, I Dream of Jeannie, Happy Days, Tom & Jerry, Rocky & Bullwinikle, Looney Tunes (if that counts, not quite the same thing), Three's Company, The Jeffersons, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo.
I think the rest of the stuff I watched started or was at least around for most of the 80's like Diff'rent Storkes and Dukes of Hazard.
