    I grew up in the seventies, and one of my favourite things was watching Good Times with my parents…it was one of the few “night time” TV shows they’d let me watch. So, if you’re waiting for my favourite seventies sitcom catch phrase, you know what’s coming next…

    PS – I would be thrilled with any of the prizes, but I’d be lying if I said that Latchhook Kit isn’t BOSS as hell!

    Not sure if it counts as a catch phrase but “This is Jim Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message – I’ll get back to you.”

  • John Wallace on April 27, 2021

    “Sit on it!”

  • Danny Cruz on April 27, 2021

    God will get you for that Walter!

  • Alexandra on April 27, 2021

    I’ve been reading this site pretty much since it started. Found it searching for the talking Ernie doll, if I remember correctly.
    Anyway, my favorite catchprase from a 70s sitcom is probably “Kiss my grits!”

  • Chris Cummins on April 27, 2021

    Does Mr. Roper’s constant mugging at the camera count as a catch phrase? I guess that’s more of a catch motion, so I’ll go with Blair Warner’s “I just had another one of my brilliant ideas” that she used in the early seasons of The Facts of Life (which is technically a 70s and an 80s show!)

  • Bruce Aparton on April 27, 2021

    Elizabeth! I’m coming to join ya!

  • Paul Golin on April 27, 2021

    Congrats. Mine is: Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

  • Jamie DeGrazio on April 27, 2021

    NA-NU, NA-NU

  • James Long on April 27, 2021

    While it’s not a sit-com, the first catch phrase that leapt to mind for me is from Battle of the Planets:

    Big 10!

    Though, in this case, it should probably be Big 15! Congratulations!!

  • Trey DuBose III on April 27, 2021

    Psychologist Sid Freeman from M*A*S*H*., “Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice.”

  • Brett O'Neal on April 27, 2021

    “Hey Hey Hey” by ReRun in What’s Happening?

  • John Stater on April 27, 2021

    “Kiss my grits” came immediately to mind, though I must admit I don’t say it as often as I might these days.

  • Scot Seguine on April 27, 2021

    “He’ll be back. They all come back.”

    honorary props to Squiggy for making “hello” into a scene cleaver.

  • Tyler Archbold on April 27, 2021

    “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…”

    Personally, I think, “This is the doctor, Dr. Johnny Fever…” is a better catchphrase but Carlson’s is much better known!

    Congratulations on a successful 15 years, Brian! Thanks for making us more Stallion! Here’s to another 15 years!

    • Stephen Hanson on April 27, 2021

      There’s gonna be trouble.

    The catchphrase that got the most mileage for me in real life: “Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis?”

  • Nik Brandal on April 27, 2021

    The key here is you said Sit-Com. Not Cop Drama, not Sketch Comedy or anything else. So that said the best and most memorable catchphrase of a 70s Sit-Com was:

    “Dy-No-Mite!”
    Jimmie Walker AKA J.J.
    Good Times 1974-1979

  • OZ on April 28, 2021

    “Dyn-O-Mite!” was so huge I think they had to say it in every show! LOL

    As a child ‘kiss my grits’ was one that always stood out. Still does.

    azz@aol.com here, I live in Homosassa, Florida and I leave toxic homophobic messages on toy sites because I’ve really hit rock bottom. Seriously, this is what I did, I probably should seek help or grow the fuck up because doing something THIS cowardly is pretty weak. I’m also not very bright, I left a comment that a 7th grader would call lame. I use AOL because I am stuck in 2003. I create nothing.
