What Was Your Favorite TV Show When You Were A Child?

[Liberalynn]

I used to love Petty Coat Junction. I always wanted to be Betty Jo. I was jealous of her gorgeous red hair, and had a crush on her hubby Steve Elliot.

The Monkees was another favorite. I think I ended up with crushes on all of them at one point but Mike. That hat just did not appeal to be.

My Three Sons was another favorite, especially Robbie and Katie and the Triplets, and the dog too. Was his name Tramp too, or was that just the dog on the Brady Bunch? By the way I hated the Brady Bunch. LOL. I was a Partridge camper.

Also I loved "Here Comes The Brides," especially Candy and Jeremy. I was a sappy corny romanticist even back then. LOL.

[KitchenWitch]

1. I loved Lassie

[Liberalynn]

3. That was a great show.

June Lockhart was wonderful and she ended up in Petticoat Junction too, during the last few seasons.

It was also cool her daughter Anne was on the original Battle Star.

[Ekirh]

2. Nick at Nite

Reruns of Get Smart. Seriously . . . I was addicted to Nick at Nite as a child.

[Liberalynn]

4. Get Smart was a wonderful show.

Maxwell and Agent 99. Bernie Kopell was pretty funny on that too.

[baldguy]

5. The Green Hornet

Kato was cool.

[arwalden]

6. Bewitched, The Monkees, Partridge Family, Brady Bunch

[Jazz2006]

7. Gilligan's Island was my fave

I also liked My Three Sons (yep, the dog's name was Tramp), the Partridge Family, and the Monkees.

My siblings all liked Hogan's Heroes but it just never appealed to me.

[Jazz2006]

8. Oh yeah, and Bewitched! How could I forget that one?

:)

[steely]

9. Lost in Space, The Monkees - there were a bunch

Munsters, etc., etc.

[texanwitch]

10. My all time favorite was The Man From UNCLE.

Illya was so cute.

[uppityperson]

17. much cuter than (whatever his name was, only remember Illya K.)

[Deja Q]

11. Doctor Who, Buck Rogers, Star Trek, The Bionic Woman...

Obviously my love of Buck dropped... but still I love the others.

[Orsino]

12. Gilligan's Island, Star Trek, I guess.

[Ariana Celeste]

13. When I was a little thing..

I was in love with Ghostbusters and Inspector Gadget. :).

[Cannikin]

14. Star Trek, Batman, Wonder Woman.....is there a theme here?

[hippywife]

15. Dark Shadows. Oooooh!

Especially when they would go back in time. Barnabas, Quentin, Angelique, Dr. Julia. I tried watching it as an adult on the Sci-Fi channel but it was taking too long to get anywhere.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. OMG! I loved that, as well!!!

I had to get home from school just to see it. I loved Barnabas and Angelique and Quentin and Maggie, followed them through time in all their different incarnations. My friend let me borrow the videos quite awhile ago and I stayed up all night, just planning to watch one more. Looking at them now, the production values are terrible, but the story is still compelling.:D

[Patiod]

48. We used to rush home from school for that one!

Barnabas Collins!

[jpgray]

16. MST3K

I grew up with it in MN.

[mduffy31]

18. You Can't Do That on Television

and Knight Rider

[BrotherBuzz]

19. Sky King, Sea Hunt, and Brother Buzz

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. You need to define 'child'

as favorite shows back then changed annually, at least.

But I'll go for 10-11 years old and "Batman," "Lost In Space" and "The Time Tunnel."

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. Speed Racer

The Space Giants
The Partridge Family
The Six Million Dollar Man
Quark

[tuvor]

22. Batman.

Especially the third season when they introduced Batgirl.

[meegbear]

35. Me too ...

but without the 3rd season. Icky girls ruin everything.

[deadparrot]

23. MacGuyver.

:blush:

I remember my mom letting me stay up late (10PM) to watch it with her. :)

[bdamomma]

24. bewitched, gidget, the monkees, gulligans island

Gulligan's island was great.

[Ivan Sputnik]

25. Lost in Space

Surprised?

[DanCa]

26. Gigglesnort Hotel with BJ and the Dirty Dragon

I also liked The Courtship of Eddies Father, and Bossom Buddies, and Stingray. Stingray was the kid's show that had the puppets operating the submarine.

[SiobhanClancy]

27. Mr. Ed...

I loved the idea of a talking horse. I watched lots of westerns,too...because they had horses,and because there were tons of westerns on back then.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Me too.

Loved the Francis the Talking Mule movies, too!

[Arkham House]

28. Rocky and Bullwinkle...

...and it still may be my favorite show...

[Broken_Hero]

29. A few...

1. Gi Joe
2. Transformers
3. Superfriends
4. He-Man
5. Macgyver
6. Air Wolf
7. The A-Team
8. Star Trek(original series)...

Thats about all the shows I watched while growing up...:)

[Jean Louise Finch]

31. 3-2-1 Contact

I particularly loved the section with the Bloodhound Gang (is that what it was called)?

I was also a big fan of Square One (particularly Mathnet).

I was only allowed to watch PBS as a kid!

[fight4my3sons]

53. I loved that show too! That & The Electric Company.

[Vidar]

32. Time Tunnel.

[Syrinx]

33. Bobbie Jo was a fine hunk of babe!

The brunette. Wow, she was HOT!

I liked Batman.

[Mutley]

34. Fraggle Rock.

I have the theme song on my computer. :D

[rbnyc]

56. We just got the series on DVD...

...and have been watching with my son. I LOVE that show!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

58. Loved that show.

Slightly embarrassing to confess, but I used to have a crush on Red! I was pretty ickle though.

[Burma Jones]

36. Get Smart, Batman, Hogans Heroes, 60 Minutes, Laugh In

I didn't watch much kids' programming, I was fortunate enough to spend most of my pre-teen years on College Campuses and thus had tons of other kids around in Married Student housing, so most of us were outside right after breakfast and watched TV with our folks before bed.

[Clintmax]

37. Shazam!, Star Trek, The Six Million Dollar Man

Loved my shows! :bounce:

[taterguy]

38. Baa Baa Black Sheep

Despite being a pacifist I find military aviation to be really cool. Just watched a bunch of episodes on DVD and the show holds up surprisingly well

[terrya]

39. Bewitched, Green Acres, Wild Wild West...

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants.

Among others.

[YankeyMCC]

40. Space 1999, Six Million Dollar Man, Lost in Space

Star Trek reruns - See a pattern :)

Also, Get Smart and Gillian, Buck Rogers was in there somewhere

I think that covers it for non-cartoon stuff. There were one or two early "japanesse" imports - Voltron and the other one I can't recall the name but the 5 kids fought off alien invaders and could form into a flaming phoenix and the youngest kid kinda beeped and bopped when he talked. Transformers were good too.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

41. Transformers, G.I. Joe, Knight Rider, The A-Team.

Ah, the 80s. :D

[johnnie]

42. Ultraman was one

I also liked Adam 12, The Monkees and Wild Wild West.

[nuxvomica]

43. Batman, The Addams Family, I'm Dickens He's Fenster

My Favorite Martian, The Farmer's Daughter (I had a major crush on Inger Stevens), It's About Time, Bewitched, Wild Wild West (of which 24 is reminiscent), The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

I also regularly watched all the shows you listed and can sing the Seattle song from memory.

[Rhiannon12866]

44. I liked most of those, though "Bewitched" was my favorite.

And I can also sing the "Seattle" song from memory, but I won't.:hide:

And I thought that "Mission: Impossible" was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's too bad that the Cruise movies have taken over the franchise.:-(

[Iniquitous Bunny]

46. The Love Boat

I'd play "cruise ship pick-up s*x" with my Barbies (and Ken and various Star Wars action figures). :crazy:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

47. The Time Tunnel

[Patiod]

49. The Wild Wild West - had a major crush on Robert Conrad

and I was all of seven years old.

And of course the whole Brady Bunch/Partridge Family Friday night block

But also, our local PBS station ran "The Fidelity Silent Film Festival", which occupied Friday nights when I was a young teenager - "The Gold Rush", "Broken Blossoms", "The Thief of Baghdad" - a lot of amazing stuff.

[Sequoia]

50. Mission Impossible

Gilligan's Island, The Invaders, Star Trek (actually we couldn't get the station and no one wanted to see a fuzzy show so had to wait until high school syndication), Get Smart, Lost in Space.

[Democrats_win]

51. McHale´s Navy

[Left Is Write]

52. I have a vivid memory of a Petticoat Junction episode...

I was maybe six or seven, so it had to have been a rerun, but the young married sister is out hanging laundry when a man happens by (salesman?) and calls her "Miss." She happily corrects him, saying, "Mrs.!"

I also liked My Three Sons.

My favorite Saturday shows were The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Hour and ElectraWoman and DynaGirl.

[RebelOne]

54. Didn't have TV when I was a child.

Only the rich could afford TVs. Never saw TV until I hit my teens.

[Neoma]

55. Dinosaurs.

[DanCa]

57. Isis Shazam power hour

Hey it was regretably what we had back than. At least Isis was hot. :D

[El Fuego]

59. Bewitched, Hogan's Heroes

And "Green Acres" seems funnier to me now than it did when I was a kid!

[Mikimouse]

60. Ruff and Reddy...n/t

[KittyWampus]

61. Kimba The White Lion Which Disney Ripped Off W/ Lion King

literally, they totally ripped off the story line and animations.

[ronnykmarshall]

62. The test pattern

And when we got a color TV!!! WOW! A whole new world!

[Mr. McD]

63. The Red Skelton Show

[NewJeffCT]

64. 6 Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, Star Trek

Probably 3 of my favorites while growing up...
A few others:

The Brady Bunch
Gilligan's Island
Bionic Woman
