Favorite TV shows of your Youth..

[gentlemonkey 17]

A co-worker and I were just reminiscing, about favorite sitcoms, cartoons and shows we grew up on... This was my first favorite show.. Battle of the Planets/ aka- G FORCE

Apparently the original cartoon was only made for a couple years. I used to think it was the best sh!t on earth, and I even dressed up as Mark - the white one, 3 halloweens in a row.

G-Force - god I get a kick when people remember that. I used to watch it religiously. I probably stopped when I figured out who Casey Kasem was.

I remember an awful lot of time watching WKRP in Cincinnati. That's one I'll confess to cuz I'd still probably think it was good.

I'm a big fan of James Garner, and grew up on both "Maverick" (the B&W series, later starring Jack Kelly and then Roger Moore) and "The Rockford Files". "The Muppet Show" was also a family favourite (it's probably the best family, as opposed to children's, show, ever), along with "M*A*S*H" and "60 Minutes".

I remember spending a great deal of my youth in front on the TV watching Hammy Hamster...

My father died when I was 4. My mom, beinga single mom had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. She worked at Harveys during the day and after she fed me, she would head out to make some pocket change as a hooker in a tavern in Hull.

It was during those moments alone our 1 bedroom apartment that I would cuddle up with glass of orange crush and bag of chips and escape into the world of NTSC.

My favorite show was the news on CBC. It was educational and it gave me my daily fix of information. I remember crying when the Berlin Wall fell and when that Chinaman was crushed by that tank. I also however remember smiling when Canada won the women's olympic gold medal in Salt Lake City. I've also learned so many wonderful and great things from watching the news on CBC that I will always cherish those moments of connecting with humanity.

Astro Boy, Hercules, Jem and the Holograms, Thundercats, and Transformers were all pre-and post-school faves.

And Muppets, of course, goes without saying!

reading rainbow (and they say tv doesn't effect kids, blah) and the muppet show. we didn't really watch much tv though lots of movies. i think i've seen batman and the princess bride about eight thousand times each. same with the rockumentaries rattle and hum and pink floyd the wall (i have an older brother that used to have good taste in music before he got married) my sister, my best friend and i went through a phase of watching horror movies too, we've seen all the jason and freddy movies (well the ones made before 1995)
