Skippy, the bush kangaroo. I was destined to live in Australia. I loved Skippy.

I also loved The Champions. One of the characters was one of my first crushes. I was an insomniac when I was pregnant with my first child and was thrilled to find The Champions playing on free to air TV at three in the morning.

And I also enjoyed Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea too. It featured another of my crushes.

Then there was Dr Who although that scared me.

I also liked NOVA for PBS. As long as it isn’t ecology or birds, bugs. I like math, chemistry, physics , and astronomy.

I liked Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans. I think they had a cow and some chickens. But I especially liked the pictures of the farm with the green fields and golden sunrise. I don’t remember much else.

I liked the Flinstones a lot. They were on every Friday night at 8pm and I had to have my weekend homework done if I wanted to watch it.

Mr. Ed
Car 54 Where Are You?
McHale’s Navy
Route 66

Then there were the plethora of Cowboy Shows:
Wagon Train
The Virginian
Cheyenne
Bonanza
Have Gun Will Travel
Rawhide
Marshall Dillon

Then there was the Untouchables.

Those were my favorites.

When I was very young there was a TV show for children between 3 and 5 years old. It mainly showed detailed facts and explanation to almost anything around the world that a child saw. It was the only science show that I saw and ever knew to exist back then. I remembered waiting eagerly for every episode every night. While other children watched cartoons and movies, I also had that show. Back to the day when there was no internet, that was the only source of information that I got. But I couldn’t talk to the kids about that because no one cared for it.

I have long forgotten its name though.

Movies – anything with animals. Born Free, The Yearling, The Aristocats, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp.

Shows – Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Wonderful World of Disney, Mister Ed, Mister Rogers, New Zoo Review, Electric Company, Sesame Street. During the holidays it was Charlie Brown everything – Charlie Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown Valentine show (whatever it was called), Halloween show, Thanksgiving show. Also The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, the other classic Christmas shows (don’t know what they’re called right now).

Felidae! It is a murder mystery, with cats!
It has everything!
Electrocuted cats, decapitated cats, disemboweled pregnant cats, and a cat sex scene.
Check it out!

As a 10-year old, I LIVED for the weekly Superman TV show.

Also, Saturday mornings were cartoons. Bugs Bunny, etc.

And how can I forget I Love Lucy and Abbott and Costello? Also, when I was very little, I remember That Girl with Marlo Thomas and The Flying Nun, which was how Sally Field got her start.

When I was a little older (11), I watched Charlie’s Angels and Barretta. My mom was and still is into Columbo. I appreciate a good Columbo episode when I come upon one.

I’m a 90’s kid and 90’s I believe was such a happening decade. Though I remember the time very faintly I can certainly recall each and every thing on TV that made my childhood:

- Spiderman (1994–97), Batman/Superman the animated series (1992–97), Ironman the animated series (1994–96), Justice League, X-Men Evolution
– Disney’s Aladdin, Duck Tales, Darkwing duck, the Gummybears, Goof Troop
– Dexter’s lab, Powerpuff girls, Johnny Bravo, Courage the cowardly dog, Pinky and the brain, the Sylvester and Tweety mysteries, Goosebumps, the roadrunner show, Captain Planet
– Catdog, Spongebob squarepants, Legends of the hidden temple, Are you afraid of the dark
– And finally, what rocked it every evening, the WWE, which had undoubtedly the best wrestlers and storylines back then.

The above work is completely original and has been reproduced without the aid of internet! Damn I’m gonna cry!!

I forgot All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Mary Tyler Moore Show.

When I was about 10 (1976), there was a show in the mornings on Saturdays called “Run Joe Run” about a German Shepherd that was escaped from somewhere, and he’d show up at situations where he could help out. Then he’d move on. There was also another show about superhero cats. It started out each episode with real cats in a tree, then it would switch to cartoons of the superhero cats, then it would end with the footage of the real cats in the tree. I forgot the name of it. It was two first names, like “Shazam and Otis” or something.

Sesame Street and Mister Rogers as a wee one.
Later on it was All in the Family, The Honeymooners, The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery and The Brady Bunch.

ibstubro's avatar

Although I was in my early 20’s when it started airing, I loved the Doozers on Fraggle Rock.

I loved PeeWee Herman, and I thought his TV show was one of the most innovative and entertaining things ever on broadcast TV.
The Giant Underwear show was a milestone.

Oh wow, missed this, well count me in in the 60’s and very early 70’s TV venue. The TV westerns, Gilligans Island, I dream of Jeannie, Hogans HeroeCharlies Angels, The Bionic man/woman, Adam-12, Carol Burnett, the Brady Bunch, I love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith…the list goes on. I still like t watch old Bonanza episodes, we need more good westerns again but they are a thing of the past it seems.

I loved the Batman TV show.
