Your Favorite Childhood Shows?

So what were or are your favorite TV shows that you just had to watch as a child?

<shame>Lost in Space</> Judy Robinson.

X-Files, Babylon 5, Simpsons, Discovery Channel (back when it had meaningful documentaries and not all this home decor/idiots with motorcycles/crab fishing business)

When I was younger I was very much into the "superhero" types of shows. I used to enjoy watching The Six Million Dollar Man, occasionally The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman among others. I enjoyed cartoons like Speed Racer, The Superfriends, and The Might Hercules.

I have to admit, seeing some of the reruns for The Superfriends, it is amazing what they are.

Ultra Man
Marine Boy
Speed Racer
Bugs Bunny
Tom and Jerry
Coyote and Roadrunner
Batman
whatever else was on Saturday mornings.

Awright, mebbe not so much "childhood", but as a "tween" I would say that one of them was about a crack commando unit that was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.

Gilligan's Island, Fat Albert, Speed Racer, Ray Rayner, Batman, BJ and Dirty Dragon. We only had three channels (plus UHF and one public television channel).

60s Batman, 70s anime, and 80s Trek.

Oh, and sitcoms. Loved sitcoms. Golden Girls. Roseanne. Growing Pains. Even Who's the boss. Anything with dumb but cute one-liners fired rapidly one after another. Of course, WF wasn't here to rub that particular spot back then.

Tonight - with Johnny!! It's never been the same without Johnny.

Ha ha....forgot about the detective/cop shows!

We had fat cops, crippled cops, horse-riding cops, lollipop sucking cops,
husband and wife team cops, etc. etc.

ChiPs

I forgot "Wild, Wild West" with Robert Conrad. There was only ever one Jim West.

Will Smith? "Ah, hell nuh!"

I've been watching it on DVD. Some typical 60s silliness generated by the Batman school of bright colors and loopy plots, but overall it's a blast.

Diver Dan? Hmmm....I vaguely remember the show. I mean it's a very distant memory at best.

I liked Duck Tales. Talk about story arcs!

Here are the ones I had to watch before I turned 10:

Star Trek (original and animated)
Banana Splits
Gilligan's Island
Superfriends
Tom and Jerry
Heckle and Jeckle
Ark II (I watched a few episodes recently---didn't realize how ghey it was)
Jonny Quest
Happy Days

and the one I HAD to watch every day:





Wallace and Ladmo (a Phoenix kids show that ran from the mid 50s to the late 80s. R.I.P. Ladmo

Miss Minerva the Mermaid? The evil Baron Barracuda and his henchman Trigger Fish? The constant hazard of teetering rock?

Let me try this for a third damn time.

Far Out Space Nuts
Lidsville
Land of the Lost
The Ghost Busters - the one with Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker
HR Pufnstuf
Ark II
Jason of Star Command
Space Academy

Quite of few Kroft productions there.

The Adventures of the Gummi Bears comes to mind. It was super fun, there was always a take home lesson by the end of the episode, and who can forget the opening theme song?

I love that all the 80's cartoons had these really seriously sung power ballards as their intros.

My best guesses for my favorites when I was younger...

Age 3: Kimba the White Lion (which I TOTALLY don't remember and only know 'cause older people told me)
Age 4: (tie) Speed Racer/Mr. Rogers
Age 6: Emergency!
Age 8: Battle of the Planets
Age 10: The Dukes of Hazard
Age 12: The Greatest American Hero
Age 14: The A-Team
Age 17: Moonlighting
Age 19: Star Trek: The Next Generation

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, followed by Power Rangers, Pokemon, Digimon, Dexter's Labratory, Powerpuff Girls, and the classic Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbara cartoons that aired on Cartoon Network [-]before they became Weeaboo Central.[/-].
