The Sweeney.
Great theme tune and I was only allowed to watch it very very occasionally if my mum and dad forgot I hadn't gone to bed.

Blake 7 or it could be Space 1999
The Sweeney.
+1
Have watched it all on DVD in recent years and as well as being great TV it provides a poignant document of a London past in an era that I just about remember.
I loved The Sweeney but I 2nd Kuco - Blakes Seven FTW!
Servalan made me feel funny - down there! 😯
Was only just the 70's!
OMG- Animal Magic! How could I have forgotten the legend that was Jonnie Morris. Humming the theme tune now.

For me the start of the 70s was animal magic and cracker jack by the end it was the sweeney and hammer horror .
I'd forgotten Rising Damp and Porridge....
This is a more difficult question than I first thought!

M*A*S*H is a good call. Forgot about it, but it was genuinely superb.
Six Million Dollar Man for me. We have the technology to rebuild him!
The Dukes of Hazard deserves an honourable mention
Ivor the Engine.
Who'd have guessed it, it was brilliant decade, add The New Avengers to the list. Oh and the Rockford Files.
Pigeon Street - or was that 1980s only?
Till death do us apart,
Love thy neighbour,
Madame is reading over my shoulder again: Star Trek she says.
Why is it when I mention Pipkins at work no one remembers it.
They probably want to forget, watching hartley hare was like being touched by a catholic priest.

I used to watch it live. They filmed quite a lot around the back of shepherds bush where I grew up.
I watch it occasionally, and it brings back the memories of the corrugated steel fencing, the wasteland we played on, everyone's second home,(the pub)and all the social housing that was being re-built at the time.
Tis a shame that London has filled up with ar*eholes since.
