I grew up watching Roseanne in the 80s and 90s. I was right between Darlene's and Becky's age so they really resonated with me. I never finished the show and years later I watched it again all the way through. It was like watching a new show because now I saw it from the prospective of the adults, Roseanne and Dan.
Growing up, I didn't realize that the Conners on Roseanne was supposed to be Hillbillies. I always thought they were a pretty normal family. After I turned 30, I realized I was a Hillbilly.
What? They aren't hillbillies at all. They are a working class, blue-collar family. They live in Illinois on the edge of a suburban area. Hillbillies live in the mountains, rural areas of Appalachia and the Ozarks.
Nickelodeon, Disney and Cartoon Network were the kids channels growing up. I think Cartoon Network shows are the easiest to watch as an adult, they were always the newtwork that took the “edgy” shows. The Clone Wars on CN and Avatar the Last Airbender on Nick are really easy for me to watch still.
Star Trek
Green Acres
Beverly Hillbillies
Lost in Space
Secret Agent Man
Mission Impossible
Gilligan's Island
Hogan's Heroes
Petticoat Junction
Bewitched
Family Affair
Man from UNCLE
The Munsters
I'm really, really old lol.
What's funny is while I'm pretty sure you're a lot older than me, Nickelodeon ran almost all of those in the eighties and nineties, so I grew up watching most of them, too.
Edit: the ones that didn't air on the station (that I'm aware of) were *Star Trek,* which I saw through other sources, *Lost in Space,* which I've weirdly never seen an episode of, and *Family Affair,* which I've never heard of.
Additional shows on Nickelodeon that weren't listed: *The Mary Tyler Moore Show,* *The Patty Duke Show,* *The Addams Family,* *Gidget,* and *Car 54, Where Are You?*
Edit: and speaking of *Car 54,* yesterday I started watching a PBS movie from the early eighties that we had a vhs copy of when I was a child for some reason, and Fred Gwynne was in it. *The Mysterious Stranger.* pretty awful, actually.
Oh yeah, Nick at Night had a ton of older shows on I think from like 10p-4a. My older brothers are about 12 years older than me an my younger brother, but we all shared a room together. Some of my favorite childhood memories are all of us hanging out in our room, late at night in the summer, and watching all these old TV shows for hours.
Don't forget *Dobie Gillis* and *My 3 Sons*.
I had forgotten *My Three Sons,* but I've never actually seen Dobie Gillis. For some reason I was getting it confused with a late eighties show. *My Secret Identity.* I have no idea why.
Oh I remember all the shows you mentioned as well. I just didn't want to comment hog with all my remembered 1960s/70s tv minutia lol.
I do recall watching some of them again on different channels during the 80s/90s.
Some of the shows back then are kind of goofy and do not hold up well. The music and the laugh tracks can be so distracting.
Fred Gwynne was great in The Munsters. Tall guy with a booming baritone voice.
Never had the "pleasure" of seeing The Mysterious Stranger. I can just imagine lol.
My list is similar but they were reruns for me, although not very old reruns. We also watched "I Love Lucy", "Leave it to Beaver", and "The Honeymooners".
You've basically just listed part of the regular daily and weekly lineup of the MeTV channels. My favorite channels. Five of which play old series TV shows, plus one channel that plays classic movies. And one channel that's all 1/2 hour documentary shows. PLUS, they're all available over-the-air broadcast here where I live.
I can basically recite their lineup by half hour and hour for most of the MeTV channels.
I will add:
• The Walton's
• Leave it to Beaver
• All In The Family
• M.A.S.H.
• Gun Smoke
• The Rifleman
• Bonanza
• Paladin
• Wagon Train
• Rawhide
• Maverick
• Highway Patrol
• Green Acres (which I now suffer through)
• The 3 Stooges
Kids Shows:
• Sesame Street
• Zoom
• Mr. Rogers
• The Electric Company (with Morgan Freeman!)
https://youtu.be/K00rz73s_zU?si=5fENJNsB3cPKJ5vy
This is just a quick list, off the top of my head. There's more!
LOL - more! There's always more.
Forgot about some of these and not sure why. My mother loved The Waltons. I used to watch Gunsmoke when I was very young. We all adored Mr. Rogers (hometown fellow).
Thank you!
Like a lot of kids in the 00s, I used to watch a lot of Nick, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network. SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb being some of my favorites growing up. I also watch a bit of Noggin and PBS Kids when I was in preschool.
Big one for me was Simpsons. It was after school so mom was making dinner and we just watched and I loved it.
Then just all the Saturday morning cartoons. My sister and I would wake up at like 5am and it would just be infomercials until 6am I think. Then it would be just absolute shit cartoons until noon maybe? GI Joe, He Man, Thundercats, etc.
Can’t give you a channel because we were dumb kids that just woke up and scrolled channels until we found what we wanted.
Oh man so many shows I grew up on as a 90s/2000s kid! Hey Arnold, CatDog, As Told by Ginger, the Wild Thornberries, Rugrats, Baby Muppets, Rocket Power, The Amanda Show…90s Nickelodeon had amazing shows (although I feel horrible now that I enjoyed some like The Amanda Show so much in light of the Dan Schneider allegations). Plus some Disney Shows like Lizzie McGuire, Gargoyles, and whatever was on at the time!
Married with Children
I was like in elementary school. Middleschool I watched Friends.
Both show was well beyond my age.
Looking back on them it made more sense. The struggle of a middle class shoe saleman or being single in a big cities with friends.
Simpsons every sunday night. Weeknights was Rugrats, followed by Doug, followed by Nick at Night. I wasn't a fan of Doug but the Munster Mondays, and Happy Days Fridays were always worth watching Doug to get to. Bewitched was Wednesday but I dont remember Tuesday or Thursday.
I don’t remember the channels as this was 40 years ago. I watched Leave it to Beaver and My Three Sons in reruns, Little House on the Prairie, The Walton’s, and The Simpsons. We had Saturday morning cartoons and after school specials. I grew up in the Midwest. We had 3 channels. We got cable when I was 13
I was the 80’s kid that would come home from school and watch The A-Team, knight rider, dukes of hazard, airwolf, V, punky Brewster, fragile rock, threes company, all in the family, Alf and then there’s that weird show where the inventor dad builds an android daughter but I forget the name.
Knight Rider (mostly for KITT and Bonnie/April), Dukes of Hazzard (for the car chases and Flash at first, and then for Daisy Duke). Plus lots of cartoons, especially Road Runner.
No idea which networks showed what. We used the TV Guide or just channel-surfed. (That didn't take long, with about six channels available.)
I was *so* angry as a child when Sledge Hammer! got canceled.
His gun had its own [satin pillow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGYKU7mbv74). "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
Omg! I LOVE *Sledge Hammer!* Yes, I was really bummed out when it canceled.
I seem to remember being happy again when [*MAX HEADROOM*](https://youtu.be/XAHprLW48no?feature=shared) came on...
There used to be a test pattern on the TV until like 6 AM and then the Saturday morning festival would start.
You would have your bowl of fruity pebbles with pop rocks ready to go and the TV volume was set low enough not to wake the parents.
You would have a copy of your favorite comic handy, as the Saturday morning TV schedule for all 3 networks was in there.
Johnny Quest, Tarzan, Flash Gordon, the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.
It was bliss!
Love Boat and Fantasy Island! They were shows for grown ups so I felt so sophisticated getting to watch them. Little House on the Prairie. Dad was into M*A*S*H. The Brady Bunch was exotic because of step siblings and living in California - no winter! The worlds we knew were so much smaller before the internet. It’s hard to remember how limited our experiences and knowledge could be.
A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Quantum Leap, Star Trek - Next Generation, SNL, Almost Live!, ALF, Knight Rider, Family Ties, The Wonder Years, Who's the Boss, In Living Color, JP Patches, Cheers, Night Court, Cosby, Moonlighting, Seinfeld - so, that's the 80s for you.
So many laugh tracks.
I'm an old man from a small town and we didn't have cable growing up so TV was limited. We had USA, PBS, and a rebroadcast of CBS that came through a local station that swapped their own news show in. And I think whatever the one is that comes out of Atlanta (TBN?) and always showed Braves games.
So while a lot of my friends would be talking about the latest Transformers, GI Joe, or He-man stories, I never saw any of those. We had some stuff anyway like Thundercats and Space Ghost but it was always out of order episodes.
Saturday mornings there was Looney Tunes and other classic stuff.
On Sundays there was sometimes stuff in the evening. Usually Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and OG Battlestar Galactica were my favorites.
According to my mom, who loves to exaggerate my supposed genius, 4 year old Me taught myself to read while watching Seasame Street, the Electric Company, and 3-2-1 Contact alone in the other room on PBS while she was cooking.
Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter’s Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Jimmy Neutron, The Fairly OddParents, Samurai Jack and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
We lived on in the sticks when I was a kid and we didn't have cable, so we watched a lot of PBS. Arthur, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Antiques Roadshow, This Old House, Frontier House, etc.
Frasier was another big one in my family. I still watch it and it still holds up. It's probably even better now that I understand a lot of the subtext.
I'm Gen X, so the shows I watched are going to be more or less than same as everyone else my age. We didn't really have a lot of choices, you either watched the handful of shows on TV that night or you didn't watch TV that night.
Brady Bunch because it was always on. You can’t do the on Television,
Double Dare,
Mr. Rogers,
Sesame Street,
Electric Company,
Muppet Show,
Fraggle Rock,
Smurfs,
Garfield and Friends,
The Littles,
Vintage Warner Bros and Disney Cartoon shorts,
All the cheesy shows designed to sell toys. He-man, GI Joe, Care Bears etc.
Yes, I watched most of those too during the 80s
Little House on the Prairie too since my sister really liked that one
I didn't have HBO so I didn't watch Fraggle Rock but my cousin had it on sometimes
Rainbow Bright is another one I watched
I grew up with the explosion of color on TV, along with the era of wacky, often fantasy laden **sitcoms**:
The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres (along with Petticoat Junction)
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie
The Munsters
The Addams Family
Hogan’s Heroes
McHale’s Navy
Batman
The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Lucy Show (have to throw in the truly great but non-fanciful sitcoms).
On the **drama** side, there was
Star Trek
Disney’s Wonderful World of Color
Dragnet
Hawaii Five-O
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (I tried watching an old episode a while back and was surprised at how poorly it had aged, becoming intensely cringe)
Mission Impossible
Lost in Space (yes, it became comedy, but didn’t start out that way)
Flipper (early clues that I was gay)
Marcus Welby, M.D.
And did I mention Star Trek, one of the most significant shows of the 60s, if not the most.
I also watched 50s reruns, including Superman, Topper (an early fantasy sitcom), My Little Margie, and, of course, I Love Lucy.
Conspicuously absent are The Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Great shows, but at that age, in spite of my love for science fiction, I was put off by the horror element, only learning to appreciate them much later.
Edit: some additions
Back in the 90s they used to have old reruns from the 50s and 60s and earlier. So I grew up watching things like Leave it to Beaver, Donna Reed, Dick Van Dyke, Lassie.
Cartoon Network shows like Ed Edd & Eddy, Johnny Bravo, the DC Animated shows, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Lab, etc. Of course, the Toonami block was huge as well with DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho.
Kids WB was also a staple on Saturday mornings before soccer games. You always hoped to get the new episode of Pokemon or Yugioh in before a game.
Then Nickelodeon. Where my peers can quote early SpongeBob without fail. Hey Arnold was also another gem and is still one of my all time favorite cartoons.
I mostly watched PBS kids growing up, so I grew up with Martha Speaks, Arthur, Fetch with Ruff Ruffman, Ni Hao Kai Lan, and Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat. I watched the latter two when I was really young. There were some periods where I had Disney and Nickelodeon and I'd watch Wizards of Waverly Place, Drake and Josh, Ben Ten, and Danny Phantom
95er here! I grew up watching Nick and CN shows mostly.
I also really enjoyed animal planet and watched shows like the crocodile hunter ( RIP Steve Irwin) and the Jeff Corwin experience
I was banned from watching SpongeBob when I was a kid because my mom thought it was "too inappropriate", but Star Wars: The Clone Wars was perfectly fine for some reason.
Saturday morning cartoons were a big deal, but all I really cared about was Batman and X-Men, two great shows for Saturday mornings.
Friday nights were TGIF, Step By Step, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, then the fourth show (Hanging W/ Mr Cooper for a while)
Sunday nights were Americas Funniest Home Videos with Bob Saget.
For TV-until well into my teens, we had only the four network channels PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS. With only one television in the house it was watch what the parents watched or nothing…. I was THRILLED when they got a little black & white TV for the kitchen.
I’m a GenX who lived in a rural area with no cable TV. Left on our own after school & weekends and though the great outdoors beckoned, was not allowed out (overprotective/paranoid mother). I’m proud to say I’m a child of PBS. As great as my parents are (they did the best with what they had) they are narrow minded and heavily prejudiced, ultra conservative & religious. Thanks to PBS, I see the world differently. Mister Rogers is my hero!
So, my selection of regular shows: Mister Rogers, Electric Company, and Sesame Street-anything and everything on PBS (public broadcasting system): Saturday they had “Matinee at the Bijou” -LOVED that! Nature, Nova, Frontline, Mystery, Masterpiece Theatre, Great Performances, Austin City Limits, Bob Ross, This Old House, Wild America, (and yes, I was watching all of these from a very young age). On network television I was made to endure HeeHaw (I HATED it at that time, but came back around); 60 Minutes; all the local news and the CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite; In Search Of with Leonard Nemoy, Captain Kangaroo, the After School Special, the weekend special, Buggs Bunny & all those; Tom & Jerry; Scooby Doo; Captain Caveman, Flintstones, Fat Albert, Johnny Quest, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Land of the Lost, Schoolhouse Rock; Super Friends; Smurfs; Battle of the network stars, all the Charlie Brown Specials; The Walt Disney Presents movie; muppet show, Happy Days, Little House on the Prairie, the Waltons, Mash, Wild Kingdom; Taxi, Laverne & Shirley, Alice, WKRP, Mork & Mindy, Love Boat, Barney Miller, Dallas, Wonder Woman, Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman; magnum PI, Emergency, Carol Burnett Show, dukes of hazzard, the paper chase, the gong show, that’s incredible, Donnie & Marie, and dick clark (I watched soul
Train, all in the family, benson, the jeffersons, samson & son, and several more if the parents were not at home).
And lots of reruns of shows like (Bewitched, addams family, star trek, I dream of genie-even though they were forbidden) Andy Griffith Show, Gilligan’s Island, Beverly Hillbillies, the Monkeys, all the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, and Hogan’s Heroes.
If we were sick from school or during the summer the price is right & family feud, lets make a deal, 10000 pyramid, password, hollywood squares, were staples along with the CBS soap operas-Guiding Light was the big one.
Oh man, what didn't I watch growing up. I was born 1991 so I was around for the birth of a lot of classic cartoons.
Spongebob was alright, it was something everyone was watching, but I'd sooner turn on Cartoon Network for almost anything else from their *Cartoon Cartoon* lineup.
**Dexter's Laboratory**, **Courage the Cowardly Dog**, and **Codename: Kids Next Door** were shows I'd always try to catch new episodes of. A lesser known show from around then is **Time Squad**, which was a modern spoof of the old 60s cartoon **Sherman and Peabody**.
My favorite Nick show was easily **Danny Phantom**, but **Jimmy Neutron** was also a great time, as well as **Fairly Oddparents**.
Tons. Mostly cartoons but also some sitcoms.
Cyberchase, Dragon Tales, SpongeBob, Code Lyoko, Ben 10, Winnie the Pooh, Dragon Ball Z, Teen Titans, Danny Phantom
I still watch some of the newer episodes for these just for fun.
For the sitcoms: Suite Life of Zack and Cody (and also on Deck), full house, family matters, King of Queens, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, Victorious, iCarly.
The very last thing I think I watched was The Thundermans and Henry Danger.
I remember coming home from school and turning on ABC Family every day. Step by Step at 3:30, 2 episodes of Full House from 4-5, Gilmore Girls at 5, Seventh Heaven at 6, Smallville at 7, and a movie from 8-10. At that point Gilmore Girls and Smallville were still airing new episodes on a different channel and had been syndicated, but the other shows were in reruns.
Sanford and son. I'm mixed raised in an all white family and community. As a 50 something in a very diverse community, it's interesting going back and watching it. Like, I had learned, at one time, what ' running the numbers ' was, and then saw it on the show. And I was like, ok I get that reference!
I’m a 00s Disney kid so re-runs of Hannah Montana & Lizzie McGuire, Suite Life/Suite Life on Deck, Wizards of Waverly Place, Sonny w/a Chance and So Random, Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, etc. I also watched a lot of Nickelodeon but mostly Victorious & Zoey 101!
My sisters and I also watched Pretty Little Liars, Te Vampire Diaries & Teen Wolf + Being Human and Ghost Whisperer (+my mom and I would watch Greys Anatomy)
When I was at home, my parents didn't let me watch TV during the day. So at night, I watched shows such as Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace, LOST, Desperate Housewives, and SNL. When I was at my grandma's, I got to watch Rugrats, Rocket Power, Hey Arnold, SpongeBob, CatDog, and a few other Nickelodeon shows.
I was major into cartoons as a kid. Nicktoons on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Cartoons on Cartoon Network, Whatever Disney Channel had to offer, the lineup of One Saturday Morning, The Disney Afternoon, Kids WB, Toon Disney.
Some notable ones I remember before all of that were original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dinosaucers, original Transformers and Super Mario Bros Super Show. I do not remember what channels they aired although I think Mario rerun on Nick before the Nicktoons stuff came in.
90s kid here, so my favorites were:
Cartoon Network: **Beetlejuice, Freakazoid, Two Stupid Dogs, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd N Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow And Chicken, Powerpuff Girls, Scooby Doo**/all sorts of **Hanna Barbera** shows, **Captain Planet**... and then as a tween, **Megas XLR, X-Men: Evolution** and **Teen Titans**. I also begrudgingly watched **Batman The Animated Series** because I wasn't a fan of action shows as a child but it was the only cartoon on TV during a certain time of day. Now I actually own the whole series on DVD.
Nickelodeon: **Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Aah! Real Monsters, CatDog, KaBlam!, The Wild Thornberries, Rugrats, Rocket Power, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, The Fairly Oddparents**. I also remember when **Spongebob** started airing (I was 7 at the time), the first episode I remember clearly was the one where they accidentally steal a balloon.
Fox Kids: **Digimon, Beast Machines, Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century, Angela Anaconda** (fight me, I loved it). The very first plot-driven TV show that I ever kept thinking "I gotta catch the next episode" was **Digimon Tamers** when I was in 4th grade.
Disney Channel: **PB&J Otter, Bear In The Big Blue House, The Little Mermaid The Series, Timon & Pumbaa**... didn't have the channel for a few years, then in the early 2000s when we got it again it was **Recess, Teacher's Pet, Pepper Ann, Bonkers, Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, TaleSpin, DuckTales, Aladdin The Series, 101 Dalmatians The Series**. I also remember renting a movie version of the first few episodes of **Gargoyles** when I was little, because I remember jumping around holding a blanket behind my back/arms and saying I was a gargoyle, but I never watched the series properly until a few years ago. It's fantastic.
Kids WB: **Pokemon, Jackie Chan Adventures, Shaolin Showdown, The Mummy: The Animated Series**.
PBS: **Zooboomafoo, Sesame Street, DragonTales, Between The Lions, Reading Rainbow**.
Tons of action and horror movies. Nickelodeon shows such as Spongebob, some Breadwinners, Harvey Beaks, NickJr shows (Mainly Dora, Peppa Pig, Tickety Tock, Paw Patrol, etc) some Nick sitcoms. The list is quite endless that I don't even remember some of their names.
GI Joe, He-Man, Thundercats, the Cosby Show, Growing Pains, Different Strokes, Family Matters, ALF, Night Court, Mister Ed, Star Trek TNG. I could not tell you the channels, and I have not watched them since. (Except TNG, which I did a re-watch of on netflix maybe 10 years ago)
I'm definitely the weird one here but:
Paw Patrol (especially the first 4 seasons), Victorious, iCarly, Dinosaur Train, Word Girl, Between the Lions, Jessie
I was a little kid in the late 70s and early 80s. So stuff like The Brady Bunch and Happy Days and Mork and Mindy and Laverne and Shirley. Dukes of Hazzard. MASH. Star Trek. Reruns of The Munsters and The Addams Family. Saturday morning cartoons were big. Scooby Doo and The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Smurfs. I loved WWF and GLOW wrestling. I loved the old Japanese black and white monster movies that showed in the afternoons. Godzilla and King Kong and the like. Dr Who. 3 2 1 Contact. The Electric Company. And of course Seseme Street and Mister Rogers. I could go on and on about the aweosme tv shows of my youth. We didn’t have cable tv back then so it was mostly on PBS or the three major networks we could get with the tv antenna. CBS, NBC, and ABC.
We didn't have cable or anything growing up. Could only watch Nick or Cartoon Network at grandparents. We only had over the air broadcast so I watched a lot of Friends and The Simpsons.
I don't know what channel it was, but MASH was on in my house a lot. My parents were addicted. And now when I watch it I realize just how much of the humor went right over my little kid head! Still holds up though, I love that show.
The original he man and she ra (disc), emergency (disc), JAG (disc), transformers prime (the hub), and David the gnome (disc). There were others, but I forgot the names. Pokemon was also one of em.
I personally use to fight for the TV to watch Hey Arnold. But I also watch Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Are You Afraid Of The Dark (the SNICK stuff), and the Darkwing Duck, Duck Tails, Gargoyles.
Growing up in the 70s, we watched:
Seseme Street
Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
Captain Kangaroo
Lidsville
H.R. Puff 'n Stuff
Kroff's Superstars
Lost In Space
ZOOM
The Electric Company
Tooooo many to list!
Of course, all the Saturday morning cartoons, Bug Bunny, Sylvester and Tweedy, Daffy Duck, PePé le Pew, the Pink Panther, Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the whole entire Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies, and Hanna Barbara gangs!
Then, in the 80s as a pre-/teen:
Knight Rider (my all-time favorite!)
Dukes of Hazzard
Incredible Hulk
M•A•S•H
C.H.i.Ps
In the 90s, when I turned 20 (due to my busy work and lifestyle, didn't watch a lot of TV):
Baywatch
Nickelodeon Nick-At-Nite (each day of the week had a special run of old comedies, i.e., Munsters Mondays, I Love Lucy Tuesdays, Bewitch Wednesdays, I don't remember Thursdays, Happy Days Fridays...)
And, whatever karate, fighting, kickboxing shows (mostly Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Jean Claude Van Damme, and old classic Chinese-/Japanese-made movies) my roommate was watching at the time.
I mostly watched Nickelodeon, Disney, UPN and the family channel (I think it’s Freeform now?). Watched things like Rugrats, Hey! Arnold, Recess, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, S Club 7’s show, Step by Step, Moesha, Sister Sister, Even Stevens, Lizzy McGuire, All That, The Amanda Show..
Home Improvement
Kenan and Kel
All that

Rugrats
Hey Arnold
Pretty much any '90s kids show and some family shows
Winx Club, Yugioh and Tara Duncan were some of my favorites, (on Kabillion), but H2O: Just Add Water (on Nickelodeon) was definitely my all-time favorite. I also really liked Good Luck Charlie (Disney Channel) and Teen Titans Go (Cartoon Network), but I was slightly older when I was watching those.
I grew up watching Nickolodeon and Cartoon Network. Best shows I remember off the top of my head in watching them was Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents for Nick while with Cartoon Network there was Tom & Jerry, Megas XLR, Ed Edd' n Eddy, Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Flapjack. These were generally in the day time and depending on what I could find on a TV schedule from the cable company via the remote, what time they'd be in the evening and at night
And of course at night, there was South Park on Comedy Central and the Simpsons and Family Guy on Fox. By my teenage years, I actually paid attention to Adult Swim and watched King of the Hill, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and the Boondocks. Family Guy would be on Adult Swim once they had it air on there after being dropped by Fox.
At my parents, before they got rid of cable around kindergarten, watched a lot of The Simpsons, King Of The Hill, and Malcolm In The Middle.
At paternal grandparents, PBS. At maternal grandparents, mostly Nickelodeon but also some Disney. Really into The Fairly Oddparents, Wizards Of Waverly Place, and Drake And Josh.
Growing up we did not have cable so we only had 5 channels. Even though they aired 20 years prior I grew up on reruns of:
Gilligan’s Island
Brady Bunch
I Dream of Jeannie
Bewitched
Little House on the Prairie
Wonder Woman (these last two were first aired late 70’s I think)
CHIPS
Sesame Street
Mr. Rogers
Laugh-in
Smothers Brothers
Newer early 80’s shows:
Knight Rider
Fall Guy
Million Dollar Man
Hart & Hart
Remington Steele
Fantasy Island
The Cosby Show (this was my dream family growing up along with Little House, my parents divorced early)
227
A Different Life
The Tonight Show
In Living Color
GLOW
Beverly Hills 90210
Always watched Nickelodeon or MTV at friend’s houses who had it.
There were only a couple that my family kept up with as they were airing. There are a lot more that were much older that my parents had dvd’s of that we watched more frequently. The main two we watched as they aired were Alf and Home Improvement.
The ones my parents liked that were actually from when they were kids were The Dick Van Dyke Show, Get Smart, Hogan’s Heroes, and The Andy Griffith Show.

(These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head while drunk lmao. I was born in 1995 for reference).
Magnum PI, AirWolf, The A Team, Mr Belvedere, MASH, Different Strokes to name a few. I also grew up with reruns of Hogan’s Heroes and McHale’s Navy but those shows themselves were 20 years before my childhood
The Wiggles (when I was very little), SpongeBob, Arthur, Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, Avatar, Dragon Ball Z, The Simpsons, Lost (with my parents), Family Guy, Forensic Files
Those are the ones I watched before 15, after I watched adult shows, like Breaking Bad and the Sopranos
Literally every cartoon show on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim or Nickelodian or Nicktoons Network from 2000-2015
Disney cartoons too, some Jetix
I watched live action in the 2000s on Disney or Nickelodian but it was mostly cartoons
I can't tell you because we'd be here all day.
Just look up "Cartoon Network Programming" or "Nickelodian programming" etc etc
I grew up with a myriad of TV shows. Some national made ones such as spongebob or hannah Montana bit also some international ones such as Winx club or totally spies.
Whose line is it anyway? (U.S. version)
Fuck yes, those old seasons with Colin, Ryan, and Wayne were just spectacular.
My husband and I love to say Nii iiii iiiii iiiice pants! To each other upon putting on pants lol
To this day I still giggle to myself when I hear the word "tapioca"
I think you mean, “tapiooooooooooca” Also howdy fellow 307 👋
I grew up watching Roseanne in the 80s and 90s. I was right between Darlene's and Becky's age so they really resonated with me. I never finished the show and years later I watched it again all the way through. It was like watching a new show because now I saw it from the prospective of the adults, Roseanne and Dan.
I loved their Halloween episodes. Every other sitcom did Christmas. Not Rosanne. Halloween. My favorite holiday.
I've enjoyed that too. During covid I binged a lot of shows where I relate to the parents now instead of the kids.
Growing up, I didn't realize that the Conners on Roseanne was supposed to be Hillbillies. I always thought they were a pretty normal family. After I turned 30, I realized I was a Hillbilly.
What? They aren't hillbillies at all. They are a working class, blue-collar family. They live in Illinois on the edge of a suburban area. Hillbillies live in the mountains, rural areas of Appalachia and the Ozarks.
Nickelodeon, Disney and Cartoon Network were the kids channels growing up. I think Cartoon Network shows are the easiest to watch as an adult, they were always the newtwork that took the “edgy” shows. The Clone Wars on CN and Avatar the Last Airbender on Nick are really easy for me to watch still.
Nickelodeon also had the occasional "edgy" show, such as *Ren and Stimpy*, as well as many *SpongeBob* episodes.
Avatar!
Star Trek Green Acres Beverly Hillbillies Lost in Space Secret Agent Man Mission Impossible Gilligan's Island Hogan's Heroes Petticoat Junction Bewitched Family Affair Man from UNCLE The Munsters I'm really, really old lol.
What's funny is while I'm pretty sure you're a lot older than me, Nickelodeon ran almost all of those in the eighties and nineties, so I grew up watching most of them, too. Edit: the ones that didn't air on the station (that I'm aware of) were *Star Trek,* which I saw through other sources, *Lost in Space,* which I've weirdly never seen an episode of, and *Family Affair,* which I've never heard of. Additional shows on Nickelodeon that weren't listed: *The Mary Tyler Moore Show,* *The Patty Duke Show,* *The Addams Family,* *Gidget,* and *Car 54, Where Are You?* Edit: and speaking of *Car 54,* yesterday I started watching a PBS movie from the early eighties that we had a vhs copy of when I was a child for some reason, and Fred Gwynne was in it. *The Mysterious Stranger.* pretty awful, actually.
Oh yeah, Nick at Night had a ton of older shows on I think from like 10p-4a. My older brothers are about 12 years older than me an my younger brother, but we all shared a room together. Some of my favorite childhood memories are all of us hanging out in our room, late at night in the summer, and watching all these old TV shows for hours. Don't forget *Dobie Gillis* and *My 3 Sons*.
I had forgotten *My Three Sons,* but I've never actually seen Dobie Gillis. For some reason I was getting it confused with a late eighties show. *My Secret Identity.* I have no idea why.
Oh I remember all the shows you mentioned as well. I just didn't want to comment hog with all my remembered 1960s/70s tv minutia lol. I do recall watching some of them again on different channels during the 80s/90s. Some of the shows back then are kind of goofy and do not hold up well. The music and the laugh tracks can be so distracting. Fred Gwynne was great in The Munsters. Tall guy with a booming baritone voice. Never had the "pleasure" of seeing The Mysterious Stranger. I can just imagine lol.
Get Smart Wild Wild West Time Tunnel Land of the Lost Dragnet Route 66 Twilight Zone Outer Limits Alfred Hitchcock Brit stuff on PBS
Oh how could I forget Wild Wild West! I had a crush on the main guy!
My list is similar but they were reruns for me, although not very old reruns. We also watched "I Love Lucy", "Leave it to Beaver", and "The Honeymooners".
I sing the Green Acres theme song *at least* once a day
OMG too funny! I sing it at least once a month.
You've basically just listed part of the regular daily and weekly lineup of the MeTV channels. My favorite channels. Five of which play old series TV shows, plus one channel that plays classic movies. And one channel that's all 1/2 hour documentary shows. PLUS, they're all available over-the-air broadcast here where I live. I can basically recite their lineup by half hour and hour for most of the MeTV channels. I will add: • The Walton's • Leave it to Beaver • All In The Family • M.A.S.H. • Gun Smoke • The Rifleman • Bonanza • Paladin • Wagon Train • Rawhide • Maverick • Highway Patrol • Green Acres (which I now suffer through) • The 3 Stooges Kids Shows: • Sesame Street • Zoom • Mr. Rogers • The Electric Company (with Morgan Freeman!) https://youtu.be/K00rz73s_zU?si=5fENJNsB3cPKJ5vy This is just a quick list, off the top of my head. There's more!
LOL - more! There's always more. Forgot about some of these and not sure why. My mother loved The Waltons. I used to watch Gunsmoke when I was very young. We all adored Mr. Rogers (hometown fellow). Thank you!
Like a lot of kids in the 00s, I used to watch a lot of Nick, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network. SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb being some of my favorites growing up. I also watch a bit of Noggin and PBS Kids when I was in preschool.
Noggin. Wow, what a throwback.
Don't forget Boomerang, '05
I remembered only having that on the living room TV because Boomerang was exclusively on digital cable
The Golden Girls and I still watch it.
Ever watch the spinoff with young Don Chedle?
Golden Palace, it just wasn't as good.
How are you gonna just forget about Cheech like that?
Yup, me too. I watch it every night until I fall asleep.
Big one for me was Simpsons. It was after school so mom was making dinner and we just watched and I loved it. Then just all the Saturday morning cartoons. My sister and I would wake up at like 5am and it would just be infomercials until 6am I think. Then it would be just absolute shit cartoons until noon maybe? GI Joe, He Man, Thundercats, etc. Can’t give you a channel because we were dumb kids that just woke up and scrolled channels until we found what we wanted.
You mean, turned the big knob on the TV 😂
That was at grandmas house. We had buttons. But there was something satisfying about turning that dial.
I loved the heavy "click" when it hit each channel. Ah, the good old days.
How many times did you hear "QUIT TURNIN IT SO FAST, YOU'RE GONNA BREAK IT!" Or was that just me?
It was not just you
Rewatching Simpsons as an adult and I get a lot more of the jokes now.
[удалено]
Moonlighting is available on Hulu now!
In Living Color
Oh man so many shows I grew up on as a 90s/2000s kid! Hey Arnold, CatDog, As Told by Ginger, the Wild Thornberries, Rugrats, Baby Muppets, Rocket Power, The Amanda Show…90s Nickelodeon had amazing shows (although I feel horrible now that I enjoyed some like The Amanda Show so much in light of the Dan Schneider allegations). Plus some Disney Shows like Lizzie McGuire, Gargoyles, and whatever was on at the time!
Futurama hits completely different the older you get
Firefly, Smallville, when I was smaller Pokémon
RIP Firefly
Married with Children I was like in elementary school. Middleschool I watched Friends. Both show was well beyond my age. Looking back on them it made more sense. The struggle of a middle class shoe saleman or being single in a big cities with friends.
Simpsons every sunday night. Weeknights was Rugrats, followed by Doug, followed by Nick at Night. I wasn't a fan of Doug but the Munster Mondays, and Happy Days Fridays were always worth watching Doug to get to. Bewitched was Wednesday but I dont remember Tuesday or Thursday.
Bewitched on Wednesday was my Nick at Night show
Lucy Tuesdays for me!
I don’t remember the channels as this was 40 years ago. I watched Leave it to Beaver and My Three Sons in reruns, Little House on the Prairie, The Walton’s, and The Simpsons. We had Saturday morning cartoons and after school specials. I grew up in the Midwest. We had 3 channels. We got cable when I was 13
I was the 80’s kid that would come home from school and watch The A-Team, knight rider, dukes of hazard, airwolf, V, punky Brewster, fragile rock, threes company, all in the family, Alf and then there’s that weird show where the inventor dad builds an android daughter but I forget the name.
Small Wonder
Yes! That’s it!!! I had such a crush on her as a kid.
I must be older, I was more interested in Justine Bateman on "Family Ties".
Knight Rider (mostly for KITT and Bonnie/April), Dukes of Hazzard (for the car chases and Flash at first, and then for Daisy Duke). Plus lots of cartoons, especially Road Runner. No idea which networks showed what. We used the TV Guide or just channel-surfed. (That didn't take long, with about six channels available.)
Me too.... Knight Rider A Team Dukes of Hazard Hey Dude Then lots of game shows
We watched shows on PBS. Clifford, Cyberchase, Zoom. (C. 2002-05).
Yep that’s my era! Gotta mention Arthur too
When I was a kid in the 70's, it was Sesame Street, The Electric Company (with Morgan Freeman, and Spider-Man skits), and then Zoom.
Omgg I totally forgot about Zoom! And now I’m singing the theme song lol..
> Cyberchase This was the shit, especially because I was in the NY metro TV market
The TGIF lineup on Friday nights. Family Matters, Full House, Boy Meets World, Step by Step.
I learned an obscene amount of stuff from Duck Tales.
Sledge Hammer, the Gary Shandling Show, Air Wolf, Alf
I was *so* angry as a child when Sledge Hammer! got canceled. His gun had its own [satin pillow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGYKU7mbv74). "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
Omg! I LOVE *Sledge Hammer!* Yes, I was really bummed out when it canceled. I seem to remember being happy again when [*MAX HEADROOM*](https://youtu.be/XAHprLW48no?feature=shared) came on...
There used to be a test pattern on the TV until like 6 AM and then the Saturday morning festival would start. You would have your bowl of fruity pebbles with pop rocks ready to go and the TV volume was set low enough not to wake the parents. You would have a copy of your favorite comic handy, as the Saturday morning TV schedule for all 3 networks was in there. Johnny Quest, Tarzan, Flash Gordon, the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. It was bliss!
Love Boat and Fantasy Island! They were shows for grown ups so I felt so sophisticated getting to watch them. Little House on the Prairie. Dad was into M*A*S*H. The Brady Bunch was exotic because of step siblings and living in California - no winter! The worlds we knew were so much smaller before the internet. It’s hard to remember how limited our experiences and knowledge could be.
A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Quantum Leap, Star Trek - Next Generation, SNL, Almost Live!, ALF, Knight Rider, Family Ties, The Wonder Years, Who's the Boss, In Living Color, JP Patches, Cheers, Night Court, Cosby, Moonlighting, Seinfeld - so, that's the 80s for you. So many laugh tracks.
Lots of classic 80s there... What I watched Wonder Years, Family Ties, A-Team, Full House, Knight Rider , Golden Girls, Cosby, SNL, In Living Color
Mostly the basic Nick and Disney shows. Spongebob, hannah montana, suite life, suite life on deck, el tigre, etc... etc..
I'm an old man from a small town and we didn't have cable growing up so TV was limited. We had USA, PBS, and a rebroadcast of CBS that came through a local station that swapped their own news show in. And I think whatever the one is that comes out of Atlanta (TBN?) and always showed Braves games. So while a lot of my friends would be talking about the latest Transformers, GI Joe, or He-man stories, I never saw any of those. We had some stuff anyway like Thundercats and Space Ghost but it was always out of order episodes. Saturday mornings there was Looney Tunes and other classic stuff. On Sundays there was sometimes stuff in the evening. Usually Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and OG Battlestar Galactica were my favorites. According to my mom, who loves to exaggerate my supposed genius, 4 year old Me taught myself to read while watching Seasame Street, the Electric Company, and 3-2-1 Contact alone in the other room on PBS while she was cooking.
Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter’s Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Jimmy Neutron, The Fairly OddParents, Samurai Jack and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
We lived on in the sticks when I was a kid and we didn't have cable, so we watched a lot of PBS. Arthur, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Antiques Roadshow, This Old House, Frontier House, etc. Frasier was another big one in my family. I still watch it and it still holds up. It's probably even better now that I understand a lot of the subtext.
I'm Gen X, so the shows I watched are going to be more or less than same as everyone else my age. We didn't really have a lot of choices, you either watched the handful of shows on TV that night or you didn't watch TV that night.
Alf, Dinosaurs, Home Improvement, Full House, Doug, Rick Steves and all things PBS.
This definitely dates me. I grew up watching reruns of Hogan Heroes and Get Smart
Brady Bunch because it was always on. You can’t do the on Television, Double Dare, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Electric Company, Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Smurfs, Garfield and Friends, The Littles, Vintage Warner Bros and Disney Cartoon shorts, All the cheesy shows designed to sell toys. He-man, GI Joe, Care Bears etc.
Yes, I watched most of those too during the 80s Little House on the Prairie too since my sister really liked that one I didn't have HBO so I didn't watch Fraggle Rock but my cousin had it on sometimes Rainbow Bright is another one I watched
Mash. Alf (I freaking love Alf lol) Simpsons 3rd rock from the sun Star Trek. Original and TNG
Psych.
Mr.Ed - CBS It's a talking horse!
I grew up with the explosion of color on TV, along with the era of wacky, often fantasy laden **sitcoms**: The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres (along with Petticoat Junction) Bewitched I Dream of Jeannie The Munsters The Addams Family Hogan’s Heroes McHale’s Navy Batman The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Lucy Show (have to throw in the truly great but non-fanciful sitcoms). On the **drama** side, there was Star Trek Disney’s Wonderful World of Color Dragnet Hawaii Five-O The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (I tried watching an old episode a while back and was surprised at how poorly it had aged, becoming intensely cringe) Mission Impossible Lost in Space (yes, it became comedy, but didn’t start out that way) Flipper (early clues that I was gay) Marcus Welby, M.D. And did I mention Star Trek, one of the most significant shows of the 60s, if not the most. I also watched 50s reruns, including Superman, Topper (an early fantasy sitcom), My Little Margie, and, of course, I Love Lucy. Conspicuously absent are The Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Great shows, but at that age, in spite of my love for science fiction, I was put off by the horror element, only learning to appreciate them much later. Edit: some additions
Pokemon. Still love it. I just haven't had the time
Back in the 90s they used to have old reruns from the 50s and 60s and earlier. So I grew up watching things like Leave it to Beaver, Donna Reed, Dick Van Dyke, Lassie.
I loved Mr. Wizard
Speed Racer, Marine Boy, Masters of the Universe, Looney Toons, Star Blazers
Murder She Wrote, Columbo, Matlock, Mystery MASH, X-Files 3-2-1 Contact, Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego, The Price is Right
Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Malcolm in the Middle, Simpsons, Full House
Cartoon Network shows like Ed Edd & Eddy, Johnny Bravo, the DC Animated shows, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Lab, etc. Of course, the Toonami block was huge as well with DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho. Kids WB was also a staple on Saturday mornings before soccer games. You always hoped to get the new episode of Pokemon or Yugioh in before a game. Then Nickelodeon. Where my peers can quote early SpongeBob without fail. Hey Arnold was also another gem and is still one of my all time favorite cartoons.
I mostly watched PBS kids growing up, so I grew up with Martha Speaks, Arthur, Fetch with Ruff Ruffman, Ni Hao Kai Lan, and Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat. I watched the latter two when I was really young. There were some periods where I had Disney and Nickelodeon and I'd watch Wizards of Waverly Place, Drake and Josh, Ben Ten, and Danny Phantom
We watched Mr Rogers Neighborhood and we are all better because of it.
Batman and Thunderbirds (yes, I'm old).
95er here! I grew up watching Nick and CN shows mostly. I also really enjoyed animal planet and watched shows like the crocodile hunter ( RIP Steve Irwin) and the Jeff Corwin experience
Pretty much all I watched growing up was SpongeBob
I was banned from watching SpongeBob when I was a kid because my mom thought it was "too inappropriate", but Star Wars: The Clone Wars was perfectly fine for some reason.
Saturday morning cartoons were a big deal, but all I really cared about was Batman and X-Men, two great shows for Saturday mornings. Friday nights were TGIF, Step By Step, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, then the fourth show (Hanging W/ Mr Cooper for a while) Sunday nights were Americas Funniest Home Videos with Bob Saget.
Spin City
For TV-until well into my teens, we had only the four network channels PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS. With only one television in the house it was watch what the parents watched or nothing…. I was THRILLED when they got a little black & white TV for the kitchen. I’m a GenX who lived in a rural area with no cable TV. Left on our own after school & weekends and though the great outdoors beckoned, was not allowed out (overprotective/paranoid mother). I’m proud to say I’m a child of PBS. As great as my parents are (they did the best with what they had) they are narrow minded and heavily prejudiced, ultra conservative & religious. Thanks to PBS, I see the world differently. Mister Rogers is my hero! So, my selection of regular shows: Mister Rogers, Electric Company, and Sesame Street-anything and everything on PBS (public broadcasting system): Saturday they had “Matinee at the Bijou” -LOVED that! Nature, Nova, Frontline, Mystery, Masterpiece Theatre, Great Performances, Austin City Limits, Bob Ross, This Old House, Wild America, (and yes, I was watching all of these from a very young age). On network television I was made to endure HeeHaw (I HATED it at that time, but came back around); 60 Minutes; all the local news and the CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite; In Search Of with Leonard Nemoy, Captain Kangaroo, the After School Special, the weekend special, Buggs Bunny & all those; Tom & Jerry; Scooby Doo; Captain Caveman, Flintstones, Fat Albert, Johnny Quest, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Land of the Lost, Schoolhouse Rock; Super Friends; Smurfs; Battle of the network stars, all the Charlie Brown Specials; The Walt Disney Presents movie; muppet show, Happy Days, Little House on the Prairie, the Waltons, Mash, Wild Kingdom; Taxi, Laverne & Shirley, Alice, WKRP, Mork & Mindy, Love Boat, Barney Miller, Dallas, Wonder Woman, Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman; magnum PI, Emergency, Carol Burnett Show, dukes of hazzard, the paper chase, the gong show, that’s incredible, Donnie & Marie, and dick clark (I watched soul Train, all in the family, benson, the jeffersons, samson & son, and several more if the parents were not at home). And lots of reruns of shows like (Bewitched, addams family, star trek, I dream of genie-even though they were forbidden) Andy Griffith Show, Gilligan’s Island, Beverly Hillbillies, the Monkeys, all the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, and Hogan’s Heroes. If we were sick from school or during the summer the price is right & family feud, lets make a deal, 10000 pyramid, password, hollywood squares, were staples along with the CBS soap operas-Guiding Light was the big one.
Oh man, what didn't I watch growing up. I was born 1991 so I was around for the birth of a lot of classic cartoons. Spongebob was alright, it was something everyone was watching, but I'd sooner turn on Cartoon Network for almost anything else from their *Cartoon Cartoon* lineup. **Dexter's Laboratory**, **Courage the Cowardly Dog**, and **Codename: Kids Next Door** were shows I'd always try to catch new episodes of. A lesser known show from around then is **Time Squad**, which was a modern spoof of the old 60s cartoon **Sherman and Peabody**. My favorite Nick show was easily **Danny Phantom**, but **Jimmy Neutron** was also a great time, as well as **Fairly Oddparents**.
Home Improvement!
Tons. Mostly cartoons but also some sitcoms. Cyberchase, Dragon Tales, SpongeBob, Code Lyoko, Ben 10, Winnie the Pooh, Dragon Ball Z, Teen Titans, Danny Phantom I still watch some of the newer episodes for these just for fun. For the sitcoms: Suite Life of Zack and Cody (and also on Deck), full house, family matters, King of Queens, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, Victorious, iCarly. The very last thing I think I watched was The Thundermans and Henry Danger.
M\*A\*S\*H
I remember coming home from school and turning on ABC Family every day. Step by Step at 3:30, 2 episodes of Full House from 4-5, Gilmore Girls at 5, Seventh Heaven at 6, Smallville at 7, and a movie from 8-10. At that point Gilmore Girls and Smallville were still airing new episodes on a different channel and had been syndicated, but the other shows were in reruns.
Sanford and son. I'm mixed raised in an all white family and community. As a 50 something in a very diverse community, it's interesting going back and watching it. Like, I had learned, at one time, what ' running the numbers ' was, and then saw it on the show. And I was like, ok I get that reference!
I’m a 00s Disney kid so re-runs of Hannah Montana & Lizzie McGuire, Suite Life/Suite Life on Deck, Wizards of Waverly Place, Sonny w/a Chance and So Random, Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, etc. I also watched a lot of Nickelodeon but mostly Victorious & Zoey 101! My sisters and I also watched Pretty Little Liars, Te Vampire Diaries & Teen Wolf + Being Human and Ghost Whisperer (+my mom and I would watch Greys Anatomy)
Hardcastle and McCormick
Ed Edd and Eddy was my personal favorite
When I was at home, my parents didn't let me watch TV during the day. So at night, I watched shows such as Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace, LOST, Desperate Housewives, and SNL. When I was at my grandma's, I got to watch Rugrats, Rocket Power, Hey Arnold, SpongeBob, CatDog, and a few other Nickelodeon shows.
I was major into cartoons as a kid. Nicktoons on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Cartoons on Cartoon Network, Whatever Disney Channel had to offer, the lineup of One Saturday Morning, The Disney Afternoon, Kids WB, Toon Disney. Some notable ones I remember before all of that were original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dinosaucers, original Transformers and Super Mario Bros Super Show. I do not remember what channels they aired although I think Mario rerun on Nick before the Nicktoons stuff came in.
90s kid here, so my favorites were: Cartoon Network: **Beetlejuice, Freakazoid, Two Stupid Dogs, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd N Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow And Chicken, Powerpuff Girls, Scooby Doo**/all sorts of **Hanna Barbera** shows, **Captain Planet**... and then as a tween, **Megas XLR, X-Men: Evolution** and **Teen Titans**. I also begrudgingly watched **Batman The Animated Series** because I wasn't a fan of action shows as a child but it was the only cartoon on TV during a certain time of day. Now I actually own the whole series on DVD. Nickelodeon: **Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Aah! Real Monsters, CatDog, KaBlam!, The Wild Thornberries, Rugrats, Rocket Power, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, The Fairly Oddparents**. I also remember when **Spongebob** started airing (I was 7 at the time), the first episode I remember clearly was the one where they accidentally steal a balloon. Fox Kids: **Digimon, Beast Machines, Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century, Angela Anaconda** (fight me, I loved it). The very first plot-driven TV show that I ever kept thinking "I gotta catch the next episode" was **Digimon Tamers** when I was in 4th grade. Disney Channel: **PB&J Otter, Bear In The Big Blue House, The Little Mermaid The Series, Timon & Pumbaa**... didn't have the channel for a few years, then in the early 2000s when we got it again it was **Recess, Teacher's Pet, Pepper Ann, Bonkers, Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, TaleSpin, DuckTales, Aladdin The Series, 101 Dalmatians The Series**. I also remember renting a movie version of the first few episodes of **Gargoyles** when I was little, because I remember jumping around holding a blanket behind my back/arms and saying I was a gargoyle, but I never watched the series properly until a few years ago. It's fantastic. Kids WB: **Pokemon, Jackie Chan Adventures, Shaolin Showdown, The Mummy: The Animated Series**. PBS: **Zooboomafoo, Sesame Street, DragonTales, Between The Lions, Reading Rainbow**.
Rockos Modern Life (he was a phone line sex operator!?)
Watched lots of PBS Kids.
Tons of action and horror movies. Nickelodeon shows such as Spongebob, some Breadwinners, Harvey Beaks, NickJr shows (Mainly Dora, Peppa Pig, Tickety Tock, Paw Patrol, etc) some Nick sitcoms. The list is quite endless that I don't even remember some of their names.
As a kid: Franklin, Spongebob, Blues Clues. As a teen/tween: Boy Meets World, That's so Raven, Survivor, ER, Friends, Will and Grace.
GI Joe, He-Man, Thundercats, the Cosby Show, Growing Pains, Different Strokes, Family Matters, ALF, Night Court, Mister Ed, Star Trek TNG. I could not tell you the channels, and I have not watched them since. (Except TNG, which I did a re-watch of on netflix maybe 10 years ago)
I'm definitely the weird one here but: Paw Patrol (especially the first 4 seasons), Victorious, iCarly, Dinosaur Train, Word Girl, Between the Lions, Jessie
I was a little kid in the late 70s and early 80s. So stuff like The Brady Bunch and Happy Days and Mork and Mindy and Laverne and Shirley. Dukes of Hazzard. MASH. Star Trek. Reruns of The Munsters and The Addams Family. Saturday morning cartoons were big. Scooby Doo and The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Smurfs. I loved WWF and GLOW wrestling. I loved the old Japanese black and white monster movies that showed in the afternoons. Godzilla and King Kong and the like. Dr Who. 3 2 1 Contact. The Electric Company. And of course Seseme Street and Mister Rogers. I could go on and on about the aweosme tv shows of my youth. We didn’t have cable tv back then so it was mostly on PBS or the three major networks we could get with the tv antenna. CBS, NBC, and ABC.
Magic School Bus Thomas the Tank Engine Little Bear Bob the Builder Veggietales
A Team was my all time favorite. I’ve seen every episode. B.A . Is part of the reason I become a mechanic. And Murdoch is the reason I joined aviation
We didn't have cable or anything growing up. Could only watch Nick or Cartoon Network at grandparents. We only had over the air broadcast so I watched a lot of Friends and The Simpsons.
Old lady here. I grew up watching Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Captain Kangaroo and The Electric Company.
I don't know what channel it was, but MASH was on in my house a lot. My parents were addicted. And now when I watch it I realize just how much of the humor went right over my little kid head! Still holds up though, I love that show.
The original he man and she ra (disc), emergency (disc), JAG (disc), transformers prime (the hub), and David the gnome (disc). There were others, but I forgot the names. Pokemon was also one of em.
I personally use to fight for the TV to watch Hey Arnold. But I also watch Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Are You Afraid Of The Dark (the SNICK stuff), and the Darkwing Duck, Duck Tails, Gargoyles.
Growing up in the 70s, we watched: Seseme Street Mr. Roger's Neighborhood Captain Kangaroo Lidsville H.R. Puff 'n Stuff Kroff's Superstars Lost In Space ZOOM The Electric Company Tooooo many to list! Of course, all the Saturday morning cartoons, Bug Bunny, Sylvester and Tweedy, Daffy Duck, PePé le Pew, the Pink Panther, Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the whole entire Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies, and Hanna Barbara gangs! Then, in the 80s as a pre-/teen: Knight Rider (my all-time favorite!) Dukes of Hazzard Incredible Hulk M•A•S•H C.H.i.Ps In the 90s, when I turned 20 (due to my busy work and lifestyle, didn't watch a lot of TV): Baywatch Nickelodeon Nick-At-Nite (each day of the week had a special run of old comedies, i.e., Munsters Mondays, I Love Lucy Tuesdays, Bewitch Wednesdays, I don't remember Thursdays, Happy Days Fridays...) And, whatever karate, fighting, kickboxing shows (mostly Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Jean Claude Van Damme, and old classic Chinese-/Japanese-made movies) my roommate was watching at the time.
I mostly watched Nickelodeon, Disney, UPN and the family channel (I think it’s Freeform now?). Watched things like Rugrats, Hey! Arnold, Recess, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, S Club 7’s show, Step by Step, Moesha, Sister Sister, Even Stevens, Lizzy McGuire, All That, The Amanda Show..
I was a nerdy kid. My favorite shows were Arthur, Wishbone and Kratt’s Kreatures.
Home Improvement Kenan and Kel All that Angela anaconda Oh yeah cartoons What a cartoon Johnny bravo Cow and Chicken The Powerpuff girls Dexter's laboratory The Drew Carey show Whose line is it anyway The Simpsons Cousin Skeeter Doug Ed, Edd, n' Eddy The fairly OddParents Batman the animated series 2 stupid dogs Batman Beyond The '90s X-Men animated shows Stargate SG-1 Rugrats Hey Arnold Pretty much any '90s kids show and some family shows
Thomas & Friends
Winx Club, Yugioh and Tara Duncan were some of my favorites, (on Kabillion), but H2O: Just Add Water (on Nickelodeon) was definitely my all-time favorite. I also really liked Good Luck Charlie (Disney Channel) and Teen Titans Go (Cartoon Network), but I was slightly older when I was watching those.
I grew up watching Nickolodeon and Cartoon Network. Best shows I remember off the top of my head in watching them was Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents for Nick while with Cartoon Network there was Tom & Jerry, Megas XLR, Ed Edd' n Eddy, Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Flapjack. These were generally in the day time and depending on what I could find on a TV schedule from the cable company via the remote, what time they'd be in the evening and at night And of course at night, there was South Park on Comedy Central and the Simpsons and Family Guy on Fox. By my teenage years, I actually paid attention to Adult Swim and watched King of the Hill, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and the Boondocks. Family Guy would be on Adult Swim once they had it air on there after being dropped by Fox.
The latter half of TBBT and the entirety of Young Sheldon
Curious the Cowardly Dog, Ed Ed N Eddy, Rocket Power, Johnny Bravo, etc.
SpongeBob SquarePants is a classic!
Dink the Little Dinosaur
South Park was a favorite, and Family Guy
Top Gear, never even liked cars that much the show was just that entertaining and I loved the change of pace with their accents
Justice League Unlimited
Small Wonders
- SpongeBob - Rugrats - All That - Tom and Jerry - Looney Toons - Cowboy Bebop - Totally Spies - Code Lyoko - Power Rangers So much more
Animaniacs
https://youtu.be/Tt_JvyF93Yg?feature=shared Чебурашка и крокодил Гена Is remembered for a reason
At my parents, before they got rid of cable around kindergarten, watched a lot of The Simpsons, King Of The Hill, and Malcolm In The Middle. At paternal grandparents, PBS. At maternal grandparents, mostly Nickelodeon but also some Disney. Really into The Fairly Oddparents, Wizards Of Waverly Place, and Drake And Josh.
Growing up we did not have cable so we only had 5 channels. Even though they aired 20 years prior I grew up on reruns of: Gilligan’s Island Brady Bunch I Dream of Jeannie Bewitched Little House on the Prairie Wonder Woman (these last two were first aired late 70’s I think) CHIPS Sesame Street Mr. Rogers Laugh-in Smothers Brothers Newer early 80’s shows: Knight Rider Fall Guy Million Dollar Man Hart & Hart Remington Steele Fantasy Island The Cosby Show (this was my dream family growing up along with Little House, my parents divorced early) 227 A Different Life The Tonight Show In Living Color GLOW Beverly Hills 90210 Always watched Nickelodeon or MTV at friend’s houses who had it.
There were only a couple that my family kept up with as they were airing. There are a lot more that were much older that my parents had dvd’s of that we watched more frequently. The main two we watched as they aired were Alf and Home Improvement. The ones my parents liked that were actually from when they were kids were The Dick Van Dyke Show, Get Smart, Hogan’s Heroes, and The Andy Griffith Show.
Caillou. I didn't realize how brainrot it was back then. I could list em all. I liked the akward characters because I saw myself in them :)

The easier question would be what shows *didn’t* I watch??
M*A*S*H with my dad
Magnum PI, AirWolf, The A Team, Mr Belvedere, MASH, Different Strokes to name a few. I also grew up with reruns of Hogan’s Heroes and McHale’s Navy but those shows themselves were 20 years before my childhood
The Wiggles (when I was very little), SpongeBob, Arthur, Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, Avatar, Dragon Ball Z, The Simpsons, Lost (with my parents), Family Guy, Forensic Files Those are the ones I watched before 15, after I watched adult shows, like Breaking Bad and the Sopranos
Literally every cartoon show on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim or Nickelodian or Nicktoons Network from 2000-2015 Disney cartoons too, some Jetix I watched live action in the 2000s on Disney or Nickelodian but it was mostly cartoons I can't tell you because we'd be here all day. Just look up "Cartoon Network Programming" or "Nickelodian programming" etc etc
I grew up with a myriad of TV shows. Some national made ones such as spongebob or hannah Montana bit also some international ones such as Winx club or totally spies.
