    Default Favorite TV Show Growing Up?

    So what was your favorite TV show growing up and why? Who was your favorite character? I was talking with my boyfriend on the phone tonight about shows we grew up watching and he watched a lot of Japanese animation. Wtf?? The only animation I watched was Bobby's World and the Simpson's. But anyway, here were MY favorite shows as a kidd-o:

    Beverly Hills 90210-God, I loved this show. I wanted to be Kelly, then I wanted to be Brenda because she got with Dylan and then I chose Kelly again when Dylan cheated on Brenda with Kelly. Lol.

    Saved By The Bell-I had a crush on Zack Morris-what a "hunk"

    In Living Color

    Growing Pains-Who wouldn't luv the Seavers?

    Three's Company-I always wanted to be Kryssy. I think she was played by Susan Sommers.

    Punkie Brewster-Punkie was my fav. character of course.

    And I'm embarrassed to say it, but I really liked Full House when I was little.

    Growing Pains- Remember Boner?
    In Living Color- "Homey don't play that!" BAP!
    Punkie Brewster- I got busted for wearing a bandanna like she did. I didn't understand "Colors"- I was eight years old!
    Beverly Hills 90201- We capped on this show....cause we were small town NorCal lower middle class trash, like the kids in "The River's Edge."
    Full House- hey, it was set in San Francisco...a plus.....
    The Wonder Years- "wonder" for us indeed, my parents didn't come to the US until the mid-Seventies!
    My So-Called Life, Freaks and Geeks- RIP!!!!!!
    Cute thread! PS I loved Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom...to this day I wonder, Why did Jim do all the work, and Marlon/Loren (??) just sat on his ass yapping.....

    My favorite was a local show - Mr. Cartoon.... because every afternoon after school I got to watch cartoons. No cable...only 3 stations available, plus PBS. Ahhhh...cartooooons.

    I'm older.

    Star Trek. It finally delivered reasonably well on science fiction. Lost In Space sucked alien dick, as far as I was concerned.

    Dick Van Dyke show. It was funny, and Laura was a hottie mom.

    I learned to appreciate a riff of classical music from Beethoven's Ninth when NBC Nightly News with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley started up.

    Lone Ranger. I can't tell you why, because I don't remember a single episode. See, we had these little TVs back then that were only black and white, and the picture quality was fuzzy at best... only three channels until PBS (which was first called NET) came about ... when they started laying cable, it was like the melting of the Ice Age, which I also remember quite well......

    Oh I loved 90210 too!!! When I watch the old reruns I still thing Dylan is so HOT!!!

    I was also addicted to Melrose Place!
    Prior to the Melrose/90210 days I enjoyed watching Care Bears, Hugga Bunch, Rainbow Bright etc.
    Oddly enough I never got into Growing Pains.

    There used to be this show on the Bisney channel that I loved for some wierd reason - it was called The Torlklesons!

    You know if they came back with all the 80's cartoon's I'd probably watch more TV!

    Wow, down memory lane...

    Waay back in the day my cartoons were...

    HeMan, (u couldn't tell me I wasn't She Rah)

    The Smurfs, and The Snorks (they were like the underwater smurfs)

    Real Shows...
    Growing Pains

    Saved BY The Bell

    Just The Ten of Us

    Perfect Strangers was my shiznit, whatever happened to that show? Not even a rerun. Larry and Balkie were too funny.

    The whole TGIF lineup, I lived for that when I was little, got to stay up all the way til 10 o'clock!

    Macguyver, I thought than man was a genius!

    Swamp Thing

    In Living Color, I loved fire marshall Bill.

    And of course fullhouse, shamefully I thought uncle Jessie was hot, I think secretly everyone did.

    LOL I loved every show in Pimpy's list! I loved Saved By The Bell, but I didn't think Zach or Slater were hot. I always thought they had a little something going on with eachother.. hahaha

    Foxy! OMGs.. I loved "Just the Ten of us"! I had totally forgotten about that one!

    "Diff'rent Strokes"

    "Gimme A Break"

    "Family Ties" because Nick was HOT! (Heyyyy!)

    I loved and will always love "Full House", I still watch the reruns on Nick-at-Nite.. I thought John Stamos was hot, only after he cut his hair. He was too girly with the long hair.

    Rags To Riches was another one of my faves.

    Then of course, Dr Who!

    "Blossom" (Woah!)

    "V"

    "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" (The Series, not Movie)

    Oh.. Saturday Mornings.. when they actually showed CARTOONS! Not crappy ones like we have these days, but good ones!

    I'll think of some more in a bit.. Just woke up.. LOL

    I still love 90210! Ah, memories...

    I was addicted to the Mickey Mouse Club when I was little. Pre-Britney days though. She was on the show later (right before it was cancelled!).

    No kidding, BigGreen! LOL It was Murdock and his sock that got me. As a child, him annoying B.A. with the sock was the funniest stuff to me!

    Most cartoons esp Gummy Bears.
    Family Ties- I thought Alex was so funny.
    Saved By the Bell.
    Evey- a show about a girl who could stop time by putting her fingers together.

    I loved My Little Pony, Carebears, Rainbow Brite...oh and Alvin and the Chipmunks. I had a crush on Alvin...I thought I was Brittany, the Chippette. LOL
    I also loved Facts of Life, FUll House, 90210, etc

    Madmaxine, I LOOOOOOVED My So Called Life. My best friend and I used to watch it and scream whenever Jordan Catalano (Jared Leto) would make out with Claire Danes. LOL It was the best. But of course, people dont appreciate good stuff anymore.

    LOL Oh yes! That was called "Out Of This World"!!! I LOVED that one! I had a major crush on the guy who played her boyfriend, but since he's been on the soaps, I sit here and say "What the hell was so hot about him?" LOL

    I liked Married With Children. Watching this as a little girl is probably one of the reasons why I have ended up the way I am.
    ~*~ I must not fear. ~*~
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    ~*~ Only I will remain. ~*~
