    Default What TV did you watch as a kid?

    The favourite shows thread got me thinking what I used to love as a child.

    Careful now, this shows our true age and differences lol.

    I loved Sabrina the teenage witch, Dexter's Lab, Angry Beavers, Hey, Arthur! Kenan & Kel (heck I still love that now!) sometimes Cow and Chicken but I never really knew what was going on. I think I found cartoon network confusing in general.

    Heathcliff & Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse is unwatchable now. Heathcliff is still 80's lovable.

    Hey Arthur? Did you mean Hey Arnold? Or was there really a show with such a similar name?

    I watched all things Nickelodeon, some shows some people seem to have never even heard of now. What Would You Do?, Weinerville, Adventures of Pete & Pete, Salute Your Shorts and of course all the good ol'cartoons. I also really miss Wishbone and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

    I didn't have cable growing up. I had Grease, Practical Magic, Pippi Longstocking and Sound of Music on VHS... Watched them over... and over... and over....

    I went through a huge Sailor Moon phase, though, and went home with two girls from school every single day to watch it for a while. Then we'd play on the playground... I was Sailor Venus. The girl who was Sailor Mars was genuinely convinced she could control the weather. Oh to be a kid again!!

    Captain Kangaroo.
    Herman and Katnip.
    Sneezly & Breezly and a lot of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
    The Three Stooges
    The Bowery Boys
    The Munsters
    The Twilight Zone
    The Addams Family

    Hated Romper Room, Winchell Mahony and Bozo. Howdy -Doody was before my time so let's not get ridiculous lol.

    God, I am dating myself lol. Some of your parents were too young to watch some of this stuff lol.

    Btw, it's amazing how violent some of the cartoons made in the 50's and 60's were. I looked at some recently and said : "I watched this crap ? " Same thing for the Stooges. I don't see the humor but The Bowery Boys hold up.

    In my teens I watched Married with Children, plus more re-runs of the shows above

    The Last Unicorn and Brave Little Toaster! omgomgomg lol (Btw, I totally have both on DVD now)

    In terms of shows:
    Sailor Moon
    Pokemon
    Tenchi Muyo
    Gummi Bears
    Strawberry Shortcake (the old one, not the new shit)
    Rocko's Modern Life
    Darkwing Duck
    Pepper-Ann
    The Zeta Project (still love it, so mad it got cancelled)
    Wishbone
    Reading Rainbow
    Recess
    Clarissa Explains it All
    Gilligan's Island (omg, I was obsessed with the professor haha)

    There used to be something on TV right between Wishbone and Reading Rainbow every weekday when I came home from school, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    We must be of similar ages because my friends and I still joke about Saved by the Bell and I remember the popular girls watching 90210. Its hard to imagine that both those shows were about high school kids in the same era and they "graduated" just a year apart.

    I see a lot of shows I remember being posted here, but no ones mentioned The Simpsons yet! Definitely the defining show of a generation. Its passed its expiration date now, but that show was with me from elementary school into adulthood. Pretty amazing. And for some reason, all my best friends are absolute fanatics also where we still quote things from episodes that are close to 20 years old now.

    Aw, I loved Clarissa explains it all..I thought her clothes were so cool & loved how her friend came through tge window. I was homeschooled as a kid & TV was really limited, still me & my sister were in awe of saved by the bell...we thought that was what public school was really like!

    I was obsessed with Mary Kate and Ashley. I watched Full House reruns everyday and bought all their VHS tapes. A few weeks ago while flipping through tv channels I came across one of their old movies, Billboard Dad. I tried to watch it, but after 15 minutes I had to change it, it was so bad!

    Oh my family used to sit down to watch the new episode on sundays with cake after our sunday roast... The curent episodes are just awful now I think. The old reruns are hilarious, I still quote them all the time too haha. There's a campaign going on in the uk to elect Inanimate Carbon Rod as president of the students' union, to highlight what a joke it is lol. You couldn't do that unless everybody in the country knows the simpsons haha.
