I was in and out of hospitals and the like a good chunk of my childhood. So I spent a great deal of time with little to do but read or watch t.v. And I did both, a lot.

I feel really weird about the fact that I watched probably 80% of the shows mentioned in this thread. Couldn't I have figured out something better to do with my time? God. But still - I still feel like I went outside and played a bunch and did normal kid things and I loved to read so that wasn't lost. I'm pretty happy about the fact that I don't have an accent because of TV raising me, so that's a plus.

Yeah, I watched pretty much everything mentioned in here, and could probably add a few. I somehow still managed to do well in school, read a lot, and get to bed on time. This proves my theory that work actually sucks you into a space-time continuum that steals part of your life.

I really wish that Krill Lagoons was a real show.

I don't feel bad about having watched so much TV at all. What else would my moral compass be based on if not shows teaching me valuable lessons!?

Watched most of what's already been mentioned, but, this when I was young:
get smart
gilligan's island
Hogan's heros
Green Hornet
Mod Squad
Brady Bunch
Kojak
Baretta
Starsky & Hutch
Charlies Angels

OMG, does anybody remember Rocketship 7?

This really dates me.

Gilligan's Island was probably my favorite show. Oh, how I pondered how they could get soooo lost from only a three hour tour. Man, I was hot for The Professor. There was once a time when I could recount all the sequence of episodes, the change from b&w to color and so forth.

Yes! Gilligan's Island was the best show ever. Most of the decisions in my life were based upon the lessons learned from that show. Hence my unhealthy love for coconut cream pie. I still firmly believe that you can make any electronic device with bamboo and coconut shells.

When I was in the school band, my mother always reassured me before concerts that if I really screwed up, she'd distract everyone by getting up and singing that XD
