Your favorite tv shows when you were a kid

[TabulaRasa]

Well, I thought it would be cool to know what shows you watched when you were young.

My favorites were:

Today's Special
Muppet Babies
Heathclif
Teddy Ruxpin
Smurfs
The Polk-A-Dot Door
Mr. Dress-up
raccoons
And even tho I was a bit older I was still young....Captain Planet.
And some more that I just can't remember right now.
What about you?

 

[Senior Watcher]

It depends on what age we are talking about because my tastes changed from the time i was 6 til i was 13ish. I will give all the shows i can think of that i watched regularly during that 7 year span:

GI Joe
Heman
Voltron
Transformers
Fraggle Rock (oh yeah!)
Salute your shorts (nickelodeon)
Are you afraid of the dark (nickelodeon)

[TabulaRasa]

Are you Afraid of the Dark and Eerie Indiana, I forgot about those two. And Goosebumps. Although I was a bit older when hey came on it was still when I was a kid.

 

[buffetofsporks]

Almost the entire channel of Nickelodeon in the early to mid-nineties.
It was top-notch perfect.
Pivotal word being "was".

Those Thrilling Days Of Yesteryear...

Yes, they DID have television when I was young. Black and white, and only 3 channels, but we had it. my favorite shows as a kid were, of course, the immortal cowboys, Roy, Gene, Rex, and the Lone Ranger. In addition:
Superman
Tales of the Buccaneers
Space Patrol
The Rocket Rangers
Sky King
Sgt Preston of the Yukon
Fury
My Friend Flicka
Rin Tin Tin
Lassie
Walt Disney (and his wonderful world of black&white)
Mickey Mouse Club
and of course
Howdy Doody and Woody Willow

I loved Mission: Impossible, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, the Pink Panther, Sesame St., Captain Kangaroo, and later, Flamingo Road and Dallas....and I can't remember any others, but I'm sure there were many. I was also among the first of the MTV generation, and I watched LOTS of music videos!

[ILLYRIAN]

The only show I can remember watching when I was a kid was Dr Who

 

[Slayergal]

Hmmm....wow I gotta think about that one a minute. Okay here goes muppet babies, smurfs, care bears, Bugs Bunny, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Looney Tunes, Duck Tales, Seasame Street. When I was a little older than that I watched Saved By the Bell and California Dreams. I'm sure there are lots of other show I watched but I can't remember their names.

 

[Angels baby101]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Micheal Angelo was my favorite if i can remember right)
The Power Rangers ( Kimberly the pink ranger was my fave)
Eurkea's Castle
Looney Toons
Muppet Babies
alot of the shows on nick back then lol
for the most part though i stayed out side so i didnt watch t.v an extreme amount... it was mostly just Power Rangers or Ninja turtles lol

 

[sharkshark]

I still watch Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood every morning, actually. =O

 

[TabulaRasa]

I think most of us probably watched Saved by the Bell, did anyone watch Student Bodies?

 

[Jill_Valentine]

I can remember the Student Bodies' theme tune, and absolutely nothing else about it. 😀

Eerie, Indiana... man, that was a weird show.

 

[Senior Watcher]

Remember Camp Candy anyone? I loved it.
Snorkles too.

Here is a really cool site that you can check out:www.jumptheshark.com

If you are not familiar with the expression "jump the shark," the website asks, "when you do you think a show went bad."

Ill use it in a sentence: I think Roseanne was a great show. However, it jumped the shark during its final few seasons because it ceased being funny by becoming more dramatic.

 

[Jill_Valentine]

Yeah, I reckon it really hit the wall when she won the Lottery though.

The Odyssey, anybody remember that? Very strange, slightly David Lynchy show about a kid in a coma?

 

[sharkshark]

Snorkles too.

Do you mean the Snorks? As in, "Come along with the Snorks, sing along with the Snorks"?
