What Were Your Favorite TV Shows While Growing Up?

[rallynavvie]

From when I was a little kid:
321 Contact
Reading Rainbow
Star Blazers
Voltron
GI Joe

From when I was a bigger kid:
Tale Spin
Batman animated series

I kinda miss the first two. I see RR reruns ever so often. It was such a great show for little kids to get into reading. And 321 Contact was one of the coolest science shows ever

Thought about this a long time and read all the posts. Man I can't believe some of them, brings back old memories

The show that comes to mind first hasn't been mentioned though
May be because I'm weird or something, but I always watched ABC News... I mean every day

Back in the Paula Zahn days? ABC Mornings or whatever it was called?

[stiltman]

I think it was called "In the news" or something like that, but mostly just the 6 o clock news.

I remember back in the 80s I would start watching the news around 4:30 and finally finished at 6:30 Back then it started with....Ummm...I think it was called PM Magazine or something like that...When CNN first came out, I was addicted.....

Small Wonder (worst show ever)
Richie Rich

MASK (underrated toys)
He-Man (best redundant title)
TMNT
Robotech (still rocks)
321 Contact
(what's the show with Mathman? the one that looked like pac-man?)
Parker Lewis Can't Lose (wish they had more shows)
G.I. Joe
Mario Bros!!!!
Nintendo Kid (or something like that, the one with kid icarus)

Kinda sad, I watched the hell out of all of those shows. How did I have that much time to spend watching TV? I watch about five hours a week now, excluding sports. I must've watched fifty hours a week back in the day.

With a name like "Ziffelpig" I think we could've figured out what your favorite show is...

Actually, it's in my list of favorite shows too, and TV Land was supposed to start running it again this week, but they apparently pushed the date back to April due to the impending release of the show on DVD. I'm gonna order it for sure, it's a classic!!
I hope they release the entire show and not only the first season. I want all of it, from the beginning to the end.

[indolikaa]

I watched a lot of ESPN SportsCenter as a kid. And M*A*S*H, probably my all-time favorite show.

And cartoons. Any cartoons. Especially Dungeons and Dragons when they made their run.
