Mum... Little House on the Prairie. We used to throw her the box of tissues when it started because she was bound to be in tears by the end.
Dad... the football results on a Saturday afternoon so he could check the score draws and no-score draws ...does anyone still do football pools?

Easy for me this one ....

Dad (Step Dad) watched loads, Cops & Robbers, Cowboy westerns, anything with wildlife, especially Attenborough.

Kojack, Starsky & Hutch, Cagney & Lacey, Hawaii 5-0, Streets of San Francisco, Hill Street Blues, The Rockford Files etc, now I seek these out for myself.
Any western at any given time.

My Mam wasn't so TV orientated & TBH didn't get much choice I believe so for her it was Dallas & 70's 80's period drama's.

Oh, oh, oh, I forgot ......

Blankety Blank, Larry Graysons Generation Game, This Is Your Life , It's a Knockout, Royal Variety Performance & shed loads of Morecombe & Wise ....

Edit.

+ Man from Atlantic, Bullseye, Ted Rogers & Dusty Bin (whatever that was called) + any old war film, The Good Life, Open All Hours, Porridge, Steptoe & Son, Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em & Rising Damp.

The Dukes of Hazard, New Faces, Not the 9 'O' clock news, Are you being served, that Butlins type sitcom thingy, One foot in the grave, Minder, The Professionals, The Sweeney, The Saint, any 007 film ....
