"Kung Fu" had a huge impact on the boys of my town. A humble Shaolin monk uttering Buddhist wisdom with near invincible fighting skills. David Carradine was the star of the show as the renegade Shaolin monk (Kwai Chang Caine) of Asian / American descent and did a good job embodying the role. Because of this show I started a journey into the study of various asian martial arts (like Kung-Fu) and personal spirituality for a time. What can I say, it was the nineteen seventies!

Like at least one other commenter has said, the Saturday Morning cartoons were the best part of the week as a kid, so seeing the glimpse at the 1972 new shows was neat. I remember the illustrated full page ads that would be used to advertise the new and returning shows. I even vaguely remember a few evening specials where some younger live-action actor(s) was roped into hosting previews of the new seasons. It's a shame this new broadcast/transmission/watch-on-demand model eviscerated the Saturday Morning model. Getting up around 6:30/7:00 am, pouring my own cereal, getting a crack picking what to watch on the TV (the one TV in the house) and watching until around 9:30/10:00 am before heading out with our mom on the weekly errands.

10:28- When CBS programmer Fred Silverman saw the December 1971 'ALL IN THE FAMILY" episode that brought Cousin Maude into the Bunker household (she sparred with Archie while taking care of the family's colds), he sensed a successful spin-off, and said very excitedly, "Who IS that woman? She's like Jackie Gleason!!! Bring her back!!!!!!" Norman Lear wasn't that eager to do so, but Silverman pestered him until Lear gave in, and produced a follow-up episode in March 1972- when Archie and Edith visited Maude and her family for a wedding that never happened. Fred insisted, "THAT'S a series! *MAKE IT!!!!!!"* Norman gave him what he wanted that fall.......and "MAUDE" became a hit series.

Newhart's writing was on another level, even opening tolerances for more mature subject matter being discussed on TV. Also pretty telling that it did even better in syndication than it did on its original run. San Francisco was kind of challenger in the "more natural writing and presentation" space, odd to see that it never gets mentioned in light of shows like Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue since without SF, these shows might not exist, and shows like TJ Hooker (insert toupee joke here) going back to the more dramatic and formulaic approach. Bruce Lee didn't a part on his own show because his "accent was too strong". -_-. Speaking of writing, M*A*S*H* is still a bar none in terms of cast and writing. Really nothing else like it before or since, though I guess you could make a case for ER having the same kind of cultural impact in terms of size and market penetration. On the opposite end of that was the Waltons, the show where technically anything could happen... but nothing did. Looking over episodes and other weekend shows reveals that this was actually the secret to having a weekend timeslot; large animated cast of unique personalities in an ensemble, and make any progression or character development glacially slow in service of "interesting thing of the week", which meant if your audience missed an episode because weekend stuff happening, they didn't have to backtrack or care, because nothing much really happened other than some possibly quality single scenes. I had always wondered why BLB got cancelled, shame it was viewer pushback.

Loved Hugh O'Brien, adored Tony Franciosa, and Doug McClure, as always, was the comic relief. And, of course, there was the coach and conductor of the Probe operation: Burgess Meredith, four years before he would have us all cheering in "Rocky". Technically brilliant, but nerds had not yet become heros yet in 1972... One of the best effects in the series is when the Probe's subminiature television camera - a simple, elegant, quarter-sized device that could be a ring or a pendant or just stick to a metal surface - connected to an implant in the Probe's jaw (26 years before Bluetooth would be a thing). When the device was discovered the adversary would destroy the device, pressing down on it as it crushed in three steps - just about perfect reflection of what a real device might look like as it was destroyed...

I think there’s just as much talent today, perhaps, but the canvas on which creativity paints has changed so much that it’s hard to imagine getting the right size of audiences to drive programs to higher heights of quality and cultural relevance. We no longer have a shared culture that is as strong as it was in 1972. I remember ALL these shows. What a fascinating (as you said) time capsule !

I saw many of these shows in the 1970s and 80s in Australia. But my parents were generally the gatekeepers of what we'd watch, e.g. no M*A*S*H because mum hated it. 😆 We were fans of Paul Lynd.

As an Asian who was born a few years after 72, I have never heard of The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, but because you pointed out its existence, I quickly looked it up and suddenly want to watch it.

I remember when TV Guide had regional versions, which was important because Hawaii is/was very different from the East Coast U.S.. When they became "TV People," I stopped subscribing and relied on newspaper TV guides until I found the the Interweb's Zap2it TV guide.

Curious why not seeing the Waltons is a point of pride? 9 seasons is nothing to sneeze at. It may not be my preferred genre, but it's hard to deny it was a quality show.

I remember loving Adrienne's Barbeaus. Mclean Stevenson should have never left Mash. He admitted it was a mistake. Yea we all remember Hello Larry. It did give him time to be a guest on Match Game a number of times. Gene Rayburn was the greatest game show host ever.

I remember about half of those shows you mentioned, but that is because we only had 1 TV station in New Zealand in 1972 and we mostly got British shows, plus TV was still black and white then. We got our 2nd TV station in 1974 and that was also the year colour transmissions started too. I still have never seen Pay TV, never seen netflix or Amazon tv or any of the other pay services lol

I'm a 31 year old Frenchman, so anyone reading this comment might be surprised to learn that the first three seasons of MASH are some of my fondest TV memories, as it is one of the last things my family and I watched together before my mom passed away. So many great memories, my mom had a crush on McLean Stevenson, and once, for a party in Germany, I dressed up as Hawkeye from the sample episode that you mentioned, Chato! Funnily enough, the show was dubbed in French by no less than three different teams, meaning that the characters would have different voices from one episode to the next, which was distracting to say the least, but I gotta say that back in the days, French dubbing was quite superb (I'm a translator myself, so I can tell). [Spoiler] Henry Blake's death remains the biggest gutpunch I've ever felt while watching a TV show, even more than Ned Stark's in GoT. Sadly, it also meant that I could never really get over it and accept the newbies from season 4 onwards, i.e. colonel Potter and BJ. But I should give it a chance one of these days...

I understand that SEARCH is not in the SitCom arena, but it really was an amazing show. It predicted so many of today's technological advances that its not even funny. Whenever I see a show or movie where the cast goes around talking through magic radio "earbud" transmitters I always smile and think "Leslie Stevens was doing that 3 to 4 decades ago."

I'm pretty sure film star mega-hottie Suzan Pleshette was that mysterious secret ingredient to the Bob Newhart show that made it work. The unique combination of head-turning good looks, mischievously playful and charismatic charm with that seductively husky warm voice was the stuff that made edgy script lines breeze right past the censors. Ever wonder why she appeared so often on the Johnny Carson Show - just to "appear?" ;)
