LarlaB Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 We didn't own a TV until I turned 8....and after that I wasn't allowed to watch much. So, in my pre-teen/teenage years, "The Cosby Show" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 All in the Family. It was such a sharp contrast to life in rural Kansas. The kids were so-so actors, but Edith and Archie were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I Love Lucy. No, I'm not that old. Reruns were always on and I never missed them. Also, The Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, and Laverne and Shirley. (I was allowed to watch too much tv). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle My Bell Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I was born in 1973 Wonder Woman Bewitched reruns I Dream of Jeannie reruns Star Search (I loved the dancing and the acting segments) Facts of Life Who's the Boss? Night Rider Little House on the Prairie The Donna Reed Show on Nick at Night When I was a teen, I liked all the above and... 90210 Now, I don't really like anything. I can't stand crime, lawyers, detective show. I don't like Glee, or anything like that. I do like American Idol and BBC TV shows like Robin Hood and Merlin that I get from Netflix. Seems like TV is just not as entertaining as it once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Rocky and Bullwinkle -- until I was forbidden to watch it after my mother caught me balancing on the sill of our second-story window, ready to leap out and fly like Rocky. Astro Boy -- I used to pin a towel around my neck and run around in my underwear pretending to fly. Sensing a theme here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We didn't watch much television, but the "shows" we watched with most regularity were our local professional baseball team games. I lived with huge baseball fans back then. Still do ;) looking forward to a great baseball game tonight -- Giants vs. Rangers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsnwings Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 When i was really little I loved the bozo show, the part on she-ra where you searched for the little hidden furrball... And the smurfs & fraggles! My brother got me hooked on Duck Tales & Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers but I never really liked that show as well as the original Disney Chipmunks (and Huey, Dewey & Louie for that matter!) Anytime I rented a movie when I was little it was either a Disney cartoon or the care bears! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 At 6 I was a huge fan of Wonder Woman. I would lasso my best friend. Her dad got mad and ran me home one day... sigh. At 8 I loved the Brady Bunch. I also grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. Favorite memories include my mom and I on the couch and tears running down my mom's face... she blubbered over those shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
