TV shows you watched as a child

[Trentham]

Can't believe I forgot this one...again compliments of PBS, which has always been a good source of non-US programming fare:

From an 8 year old boy's perspective in 1982, nobody on the planet was cooler than The Doctor. Actually that may still be true.

 

[Totenkindly]

Several of these were god awful.

Kudos for admitting it.
But that's what makes them good! maybe.

... oh, I forgot Dungeons & Dragons.
I even have the whole animated series on DVD.
It was god awful.

So bad it's good, but I dunno if I'd have admitted to having the DVD. Bold.

LOL, I'd forgotten all about that show. Never missed it back in the day.

The Andy Griffith Show
I Dream of Jeannie

And regular prime-time stuff, I watched Cosby Show, Family Ties, Newhart... earlier than that, I vaguely remember Three's Company, Dukes of Hazzard, Silver Spoons, Love Boat...I'm sure the list goes on....

I mean jeesh, a helicopter with turbo jets and machine guns, awesome 80s-synth theme song, Ernest Borgnine - couldn't ask for much more than that.

That's about all I got out of it then. I just tagged along with my dad to watch, and later learned it was about espionage, too.

Love Boat & Fantasy Island back to back. I think it was Friday nights?

Damn I'm old!

Yep! Many Friday nights my parents would go out and my grandmother would babysit me and my brother. She'd always bring us giant chocolate chip cookies and then she would watch Lawrence Welk, The Love Boat, and Fantasy Island. We suffered through Lawrence, but something about my 8 year old self really enjoyed The Love Boat. Fantasy Island not so much.

 

[King sns]

There was that weird ass show Pete and Pete

 

[Tallulah]

Oh, yeah, The Love Boat! That one, too. I also remember watching a show called Angie. I don't think it lasted long.

i was not allowed to watch allot of tv, when i was a child.

i played outside, riding bmx, skateboard, playing with toy cars.

i grew up in germany, where we had less shows and stations than america.

nevertheless i counted a staggering number of 127 shows.

I didn't see all the episodes of those.

about one quater of those might be from my adolecence and from the recent past.
