Oh man, you got the ones I forgot. F Troop was the best!

And of course the "Wonderful World of Disney" came on every Sunday night, couldn't miss it.

*edit*
And how could I forget "Bonanza" with Hoss and little Joe, and the Rifleman, Pancho and Cisco, Wild Wild West, Laramie.

Damn I watched too much TV as a kid

It's About Time? It had the ooo ooo ooo guy from Car 54 in it playing a caveman. It only lasted 1 or 2 seasons. For the westerns can't forget Gunsmoke and Branded.

The test pattern. It had an Indian, and numbers. Later, my parents moved without telling me, and eventually the electricity was turned off. Watching the telelvision just wasn't the same then.

X-Files, Quantum Leap, MacGuyver, Star Trek (TNG and DS9) were my favorites of the new generation. Never watched too many cartoons. But Samurai Pizza Cats were teh WIN!

[Jediab]

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (Firestar was hot), Smurfs, Transformers, He-Man, GI Joe, Seasame Street, Great Space Coaster (Speed Reader and Garry Gnu rocked), Land of the Lost (sleestacks (sp?) scared the crap out of me!), and Dukes of Hazzard to name a few.

Edit: Forgot to add Voltron, the Lions not the vehicles, those sucked.

In essense TV raised me. Reflecting now on my self years ago, I see "The Yonder Years" as the show which most defined my morals, beliefs, and mostly my childhood. I would see myself in Kevin's feet, act out what he did, who he did it with and how. I could feel the love he had for wendy, the fear he had for her rejection, and the sense of purpose he had in life. Really that was the show that encircled my childhood. What was yours?

Aparently it shaped your childhood and taught you how not to spell.

"The Yonder Years"??? WTF?

Try The Wonder Years.

Doug (before disney bought him out and made him suck)
Rugrats (the originals, the remakes and spinoffs blow)
James Bond Jr
TMNT cartoon
The Price Is Right
Salute Your Shorts (A Giraffes Tongue....Is Black )
Pete & Pete (I cried when Arty left)
Land Of The Lost
Double Dare
Happy Days (on nick at nite)
Are You Afraid Of The Dark (scared the **** out of me!)
Ren & Stimpy
Arcade (I always wished I could get on that show and kick some ass)
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Wild and Crazy Kids (Donny Jeffcoat was sooo cool)

It's not the same. When Hurricane Wilma left, she took the electricity with her. I would amuse myself and others by announcing we would see what was on TV. The flashlight revealed that nothing had changed.

 

[Xylitol]

Duck tales
Pinnochio
Sessame Street

 

[Deleted member 4644]

Star Trek, Duck Tales, Tail Spin, Rescue Rangers. Roughly in order of importance. Also to a much lesser extent, NOVA

 

[zmaster]

When i was a little kid he man and she-ra... or shiva...or some chick
Then it was power rangers. I still have all the sets or the zords from the first two...up to the ninja rangers thing.
Then the TMNT.
Finally it was the Pokemon

And after that i grew up

 

[nageov3t]

I don't think television influenced me nearly as much as movies like The Goonies or Neverending Story :thumbsup:

 

[zmaster]

and yeah i think he did mean limba the white lion. i remember watching that show a loooong time back.

me and a girl were jsut talking about nostalgia at work the other day and the main topic was Are You Afraid of the Dark... an old show on nickelodeon where every weekend a group of kids in the "midnight society" would gather around a camp fire and a different person would tell a scary RL Stein-like story. i use to LOVE that show and would always watch it with my sis
