Sometimes I feel like television raised me. I learned all of my life lessons from these shows!

I think I was left alone too much when I was a kid!

A lot of the same as you....saved by the bell, full house, married with children, boy meets world, fresh prince of bel aire
also - the Secret World of Alex Mac was a huge favourite of mine. Heart Break High was also awesome. I loved cartoons too...Samurai Pizza Cats, Biker Mice from Mars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Smurfs, the Snorks, Dangermouse, Superted, Raggy Dolls, the list goes on!

I wasn't allowed to watch much tv when I was a kid. My mom didn't approve and my dad hogged the tv anyway. All I was really supposed to be watching was kid shows like Sesame Street, Captain Kangaroo and the Electric Company, along with Little House on the Prairie. Shows my dad watched that I got to sit in on sometimes were M*A*S*H, Chico and the Man, Sanford and Son, All In the Family and Maude. And I watched The Love Boat at my Nana's.

Should I date myself with Little House on The Prairie, not in reruns?
And (I am so ashamed) Falcon Crest, with my mother.
Monty Python.
Doctor Who (old school)

We never had a tv until I was maybe 10, and then never watched it much. I loved CHiPs and Wonder Woman in reruns. I am so freaking mad that they dumped CHiPs DVD seas s after season 2.

I watched a shiitake ton of tv growing up. Like we're talking probably 4 or 5 hours solid on weekdays. When I was also in school.
Couldn't tell you what I particularly loved because honestly I wasn't all that choosy. Name a show that aired between about 1989 and 1998 and I can probably tell you all about it. And sing the theme song.
What's funny is that as an adult, I don't even own a tv. There are a couple of shows that I follow on the computer, and that's it.

choirqueer wrote: Legends of the Hidden Temple! fork yes. Silver Snakes were always the best! I grew up in the nineties, and I watched all the Nickelodeon shows. All of them. I also watched Comedy Central, so it was Kids In The Hall, MST3K, Ab Fab, and lots of stand up and long-forgotten sketch comedy shows (pretty much all of it went over my head, though). I also watched Married With Children, The Wonder Years and The Simpsons. I did not discover The Golden Girls until later. When I was a really little kid, I watched Adventures In Wonderland, Fraggle Rock, Under The Umbrella Tree, Eureka's Castle, Dumbo's Circus, Zoobile Zoo (the horror!), and the Skinnamarinki Dinki Dink people (I don't recall the name of the show, but if you also grew up with it then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about).

Definitely a lot of the same american shows that you all watched.
Sesame Street - taught me my alphabet so i said "zee" for ages instead of "zed" Muppets Boy Meets World Moesha Wonder Years Saved By the Bell Dawsons Creek Thundercats Transformers He-man Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Duck tales Tale Spin Gummi Bears Hang Time Darkwing Duck Byker Grove Grange Hill Postman Pat Captain Planet Sharky and George Arthur Rugrats Fireman Sam Heartbreak High Eerie, Indiana Doug Hang Time Sabrina the Teenage Witch That 70s Show Animals of Farthing Wood Art Attack Sooty Rainbow Time Team They think its all over Fun House KNIGHTMARE - best one ever! Star Trek - TNG/DS9/Voyager Stargate SG - 1
So many more to add too. I wasnt sure what age range to go for so kept it when i was under 18 and stuff that was on tv at the time rather than dvds (like the young ones etc etc)

Where to start...my parents were very lax. I was 5 when MTV first aired and I remember watching it then...and old SNL...
MTV SNL Bosom Buddies Mork & Mindy Laverne & Shirley Dynasty Falcon Crest Knots Landing Dallas Hart to Hart Knight Rider MacGyver Silver Spoons Charles in Charge Small Wonder Benson You Can't Do That on Television! Square One tv Sesame Street The Electric Company
I could go on and on and on...basically my formative years were spent in front of the tv as much as possible.

I liked Bump In The Night, Sailor Moon, Batman: The Animated Series, Samurai Pizza Cats, Star Trek TNG, Gargoyles (And I didn't find out until I was older that Gargoyles was largely voiced by the cast of Star Trek!), Bill Nye The Science Guy, Kratt's Kreatures (before they got puppets), The Magic School Bus, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, Beetlejuice, Card Captors, The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, The Big Comfy Couch, Lamb Chop's Play Along, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, and I'm going to stop there because I find it crazy that I watched all that but nowadays I can't be assed to finish a 70 episode long anime.
