Umm, i'm still young so...

Pokemon(I had all the video games up until Crystal Version, too, then I was like "Wtf? How many are they gonna make!? 14 years later and they're still at it...)

Yugioh(the card game was always more entertaining than the anime, though)

Power Rangers(From the original up until Lost Galaxy; I think they changed the production company after that one, so that, coupled with me getting older made it lame)

Sesame Street(Bert and Ernie were funny as hell!)

Transformers(Energon and Cybertron)

Thomas The Tank Engine

Theodore the Tugboat

(Lol good times, goooood times....)

 

[Phantonym]

I was mostly running around outside, climbing trees and scraping my knees or reading books instead of watching TV as a child. There really wasn't anything all that interesting on at that time anyway.

I started watching TV more around the age of 10-11, so I made up for not watching cartoons when I was younger and also mixed it up with other shows airing in the early 90s. Anglo-Western culture, ftw.

Not in any particular order:

Looney Toons
DuckTales
Babar
Smurfs
Moomin
The Muppet Show
The Simpsons
Star Trek
Knight Rider
MacGyver
Matlock laugh: totally loved him)

There are tons more...

 

[Moiety]

I forgot Babar!


Man, it was so emo.

[Totenkindly]

I have a slew of shows I watched --I hadn't realized how much TV I did watch at that time, I guess I didn't have the computer or other media including VHS for much of my childhood -- and it is hard to narrow them down.

For purposes of this, I considered "kid" to be from young-young through high school, which takes me to the mid-80's.

My favorite ten in alphabetic order:

• Cheers
• Family Ties
• Rocky and Bullwinkle
• In Search Of
• Knight Rider
• Looney Tunes
• Mork and Mindy
• The Greatest American Hero
• The Muppet Show
• The Six Million Dollar Man

Some other shows I watched regularly included: 3-2-1 Contact, Amazing Stories, Benny Hill, Bionic Woman, Brady Bunch, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Charlie's Angels, CHiPs, Different Strokes, Donnie and Marie, Duke of Hazzard, Facts of Life, Happy Days, LA Law, Laverne & Shirley, Little House on the Prairie, Mandrell Sisters, Moonlighting, My Three Sons, Mr Rogers' Neighborhood, Night Court, Project Blue Book, Real People, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Sesame Street, Silver Spoons, Star Trek: TOS, Taxi, The Andy Griffith Show, The Cosby Show, The Electric Company, The Hardy Boys, The Love Boat, The Man from Atlantis, The Munsters, Thundarr the Barbarian, Underdog, Unsolved Mysteries, Welcome Back Kotter, Wonderful World of Disney, Wonder Woman... but lots of others too

One show I wish I had been able to watch as a kid: "Bill Nye, Science Guy".
(I just watched it as a grow'up instead!)

Over the weekend Boomerang (cable channel) was showing The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Banana Splits and Smurfs. My kids were so amazed that I used to watch all those shows. I also loved All in the Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. FMW, I do also recall watching The Love Boat.


Edit: OH and Ivy, I loved Benny Hill! I got into trouble more than once during PE because my friend Kelly and I used to pretend we were on the show and run all over the place while singing the intro. We renamed our PE Teacher Mrs. Glob (Mrs. Globe) so between that and Benny Hill we definitely weren't her favs.

 

[Trentham]

FMW, I do also recall watching The Love Boat.

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

Damn I'm old!
