I love television especially the clever sitcoms such as Get Smart, Friends, and Seinfeld just to name a few... They all have certain catch phrases that have stayed with us long after the shows ended, who can remember Max's " Good Thinking 99!" or Joey's "How you doin'?" or Seinfeld's "Not that there's anything wrong with that? These phrases are what make a TV show so memorable. Do you remember any fun TV catch phrases to make us reminisce and smile? Oh...I TAWT I SAW A PUDDY TAT...

Goodness me, there's many that come to mind actually! "The plane, the plane!" - Fantasy Island (Tattoo) "Watcha talking about Willis?" - Diff'rent Strokes (Arnold) "I love it when a plan comes together!" - A Team (Hannibal) "Hello Michael" - Knight Rider (KITT) "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" - The Brady Bunch (Jan) "Giddy up!" - Seinfeld (Kramer) When I was a kid, it was all Magnum PI, Moonlighting, Family Ties. Facts of Life, Six Million Dollar Man, The Love Boat and a heap of others that when you look at them today were oh so corny, but at the time, they were fantastic! lol.

Hi James! I watched all those too! I used to love The Brady Bunch when I was in primary school and yes I wanted to be Marsha! I loved Moonlighting and Family Ties too. My favourite of all time has to be Seinfeld, the show about nothing but so very clever! Thanks for stopping by!

I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld myself! It's very rare to see episodes of it on Cairo TV unfortunately, but on the odd occasion that they DO show it, I'm there with bells on no matter how many times I may have seen any particular episode. Thanks for the BR too.

Did you see the Get Smart movie? It was pretty good. And they worked in Don Adams' old catch phrase very well. As for catch phrases...I know this may be a lame one, but when I was a kid I used to watch Full House all the time. And Michelle always would say "You got it dude!" And on Family Matters, Steve Urkel would say "Did I do that?" I actually have a Steve Urkel doll that says about four of the catch phrases he used to say on that show. I freely admit it. I think it is in my parent's garage somewhere.

The Steve Urkel doll sounds pretty cool, you should dig it out for a laugh, I didn't know you could get Urkel dolls! I haven't seen the Get Smart movie, believe it or not, I may just get the DVD out. Thanks for responding AmbiePam "You got it dude!"

I suppose I'm dating myself lol, but "Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel", from Batman. I also liked "Make it so, Number One" from Star Trek Generations. Or, "Lucy, you gots some splain' to do". I love old re-runs. There were definately some classics in the day, even if by today's standards they may not be up to par. I loved Fantasy Island as a kid "Welcome to Fantasy Island" hehe. Of course, I grew up with Ricardo as Kahn, so what can do you right? Of course, now I am stuck with children's shows for most of the day, and the catch phrases have become "Can we do it? Yes we can". Not that I don't like Bob, but you know. My favorite is Oko, from The World Tree "Pick up a coconut, go down the river, and share it with a friend". Namaste-Anora

I've heard Bob's phrase a few hundred times LOL! I really enjoy the old sitcoms, there’s a cable channel here that plays all the old stuff, I wish I had more time to watch it! Thanks for being here!
