There’s a new face on getTV — and he may look familiar! From sitcoms like Silver Spoons, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and In The House, to Dancing With The Stars and beyond, Alfonso Ribeiro has been on TV for nearly his entire life! And many of us have grown up along with him.

By 1988, primetime soaps like Dallas and Knots Landing had been drawing large, loyal audiences for a decade. So, it’s not surprising that CBS turned to David Jacobs, the mastermind of those two hits, for a sudsy spin on the Western genre. The result was Guns of Paradise, a unique hybrid of Old West action, family drama, and will they/won’t they romance — seen weekdays at 4p ET and weekends at 3p ET on getTV!

Can we get an Amen for Amen? The 1980s sitcom starring Sherman Hemsley as a Philadelphia church deacon quickly became a showcase for a powerhouse supporting cast: Anna Maria Horsford as daughter Thelma, Clifton Davis as pastor Reuben, Jester Hairston as sage Rolly, and Roz Ryan and Barbara Montgomery as the Hetebrink sisters. Nearly thirty-five years later, this ensemble comedy from creator Ed. Weinberger remains a blessing for fans old and new. 

What’s the first thing anyone says when you mention Good Times? “Dyn-O-Mite!” But this groundbreaking sitcom from producer Norman Lear is much more than a catchphrase. And you can see why weekdays on getTV!

If you were a kid in the 1970s, there’s a good chance you crossed paths with Grizzly Adams. A young-adult novel came first in 1972, followed by a movie and TV adaptation in 1974 and 1977 respectively, both starring Dan Haggerty as the bushy-bearded mountain man. All were the work of faith-based mogul Charles E. Sellier Jr., who spun a simple story into a pop culture phenomenon that included action figures, coloring books, board games, View-Masters and even stuffed animals!

Two decades before the American Revolutionary War, a heroic woodsman known as Hawkeye (Lee Horsley) patrols the Northeastern frontier of the New World. Born to white settlers and raised by Delaware Indians, Hawkeye and his foster brother Chingachgook (Rodney A. Grant) navigate the tensions between English and French colonists, hostile natives, and settlers yearning for liberty.
