Well anyway - as a young girl, UK series would be 'Doctor Who', 'The Magic Roundabout', 'Black Beauty', 'White Horses', 'Catweazle', 'Robinson Crusoe'...then later things like 'Love Thy Neighbour', 'Are You Being Served?', 'Blake's Seven', and 'Red Dwarf'...and 'The Muppets'. Plus, 'Top Of The Pops' was a constant throughout my life.
US series as a girl were things like 'Banana Splits', 'The Monkees', 'The Flintstones', 'Top Cat', 'Get Smart', 'The Man From Uncle', 'Mork and Mindy', 'I Love Lucy', 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and 'Dick Van Dyke Show', 'The Andy Williams Show' (for Donny Osmond) and 'The Partridge Family' (for David Cassidy......swoon)....then later, stuff like 'M.A.S.H.', 'Happy Days', 'The Rockford Files', 'Kojak', 'Cagney and Lacey', 'Dukes Of Hazzard', 'Starsky and Hutch', 'Dallas', 'Dynasty' and 'The Colbys'.......
....Oh...and 'Charlie's Angels'....of course...the first true 'girl-power' TV programme...!!
