Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Earlier:
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
- The Simpsons
- ReBoot
Later on:
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Invader Zim
- Futurama
ReBoot! That brings back memories!
Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.
Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.
Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we’ll never really stop pollution because super heros aren’t real lol
This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn’t think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
- MAS*H
- Hogan’s Heroes
- Dinosaurs
Not because I’m so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny’s place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn’t really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it’s really sad that I wasn’t there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
Thanks for sharing your memory. I hope you are able to cherish the memories you had together.

Honestly, I read a lot more than I watched tv. There are tons of books that shaped me, but I had to struggle to remember the shows that helped me along.
I imagine I’ll ask about books in another post soon then, but it looks like it will be a tough one for you! In the meantime, you can think on it 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Teleport, Lisa, teleport!
Three’s Company
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse

Hilarious, because it appears as though none of you were alive in my youth… My parents were too damned smart to let me watch the “Boob Tube”. Turns out they had wicked foresightedness - now you have hundreds of streams and almost all of it $hit.
So this is what I did see: Howdy Doody, only at my friend’s house Captain Kangaroo which I could watch when I was sick That Was The Week That Was (TW3) which I could watch because it was intelligent, political satire.
I’m no worse for the deprivation, and probably better.
Yeah, you do seem great.
