What was your favorite show when you were a little kid?

Did you buy it, OP?

You Can’t Do That on Television.

I was also a huge fan of reruns of Green Acres and Get Smart.

But YCDToTV brings back the most memories.

Fraggle Rock

Gigantor

Double Dare

Oh how I wanted to beat the obstacle course and win a trip to Space Camp

New Zoo Revue??? Ewwww, we made fun of my brother for decades for watching that shit.

Three Stooges, Little Rascals for me.

In my day we just sat and watched cave paintings.

Muppet Babies or David the Gnome

Tales of the Wizard of Oz

[quote] New Zoo Revue??? Ewwww, we made fun of my brother for decades for watching that shit.

Why?

Ducktales.

Hannibal!

Speed Racer!

Go, R14.

Great question OP, but harder to answer than I initially thought. Wonderful World of Disney was always a big draw on Sunday nights, and I too loved Speed Racer and Kimba the White Lion. I recall snippets of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, but I think I watched more because I was put in front of them. But I remember a show that seemed to bring me pure joy to watch. It was called Animal, Animals, Animals and was a live action nature show for kids. We also enjoyed Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, but the other show was geared directly to child and better on their level. The theme song was so inviting and infectious and always set the mood for the episode.

The Three Stooges

Just for you, OP.

Romper Room

Zoobilee Zoo

Those creatures at R20 are creepy as fuck. I'm going to have nightmares.

Captain Kangaroo

OP if you have to ask which radio program. Most Dataloungers grew up before the age of television.

Underdog

God I miss regional television.

American Gladiators

Because of the embarrassment on the top left, R11

Wacky Races

Danger Mouse

Wonderama with Sonny Fox, NOT Bob McAllister. On channel 5, WNEW. Fox was the Brooklyn Cary Grant, McAllister was a milquetoast alternative.

Superfriends, later Star Blazers, then Battle of the Planets

I watched all those 1970s saturday morning shows, but my absolute favorites were all the old Warner Bros/MGM cartoons ie Bugs Bunny and the rest/Tom and Jerry, etc

Scooby Doo (pre Scrappy)

Elektra Woman and Dyna Girl

The Muppet Show, Spider-Man (both the cartoon and the Nicholas Hammond version), Match Game, Scooby-Doo, and reruns of Get Smart. Watched a lot of The Price Is Right, too, but that was more because my “nanny” (actually just a babysitter) watched it, so it became a regular thing.

All those Sid & Marty Krofft shows. HR Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, Dr. Shrinker, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost.

Loved Marshall, Will and Holly!

I Love Lucy

Golden Girls

(No, really. I was apparently a DLer before DL existed.)

More than any "kids" shows, I enjoyed Lucy, old Abbott & Costello movies (played every Saturday at noon on a local station in St. Louis throughout the 70s and early 80s) and The Three Stooges.

The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour

Under the Umbrella Tree

There were quite a few I adored.

Lost in Space

Jonny Quest

Batman

Space Ghost/The Herculoids

Star Trek

Scooby Doo, Where Are You!

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

Sesame Street/The Electric Company

The Banana Splits Adventure Hour

H.R. Pufnstuf

Star Trek: The Animated Series

Land of the Lost

I never watched Sesame Street- instead I was all about Pinwheel. One of the earliest shows I remember seeing.

Shining Time Station

Soo much of my childhood was GI Joe related.

Storm Shadow was my fav.

The Real Ghostbusters. I ate the cereal, drank the Ecto Cooler, had the bedsheets. Loved these guys.

I rewatched some episodes last year on Netflix and they hold up well. Great voice work from everyone.

Gumby

I’d watch in the morning before school. 5am was Lassie, 5:30 was Mr. Wizard’s World, and 6 and 6:30 was Gumby.

Leave it to Beaver, Hazel, Father Knows Best.

Clutch Cargo, Diver Dan, and Roger Ramjet.

Watching my daddy take a shower after mowing the yard.

Superfriends!

I was a child of the '80s, when it ran five days a week, and I could not miss an episode of that damn show.

My parents were supportive because it illustrated good morals and served as a gateway to an interest in Greek and Roman mythology.

i can never quite separate the many iterations of super friends; some seemed to be "justice league of america vs. the legion of doom". others included zann and jayna. still, they were great cartoons.

we are watching the dc animated universe now, so it's interesting seeing those characters from childhood saying things like "fuck" and flat out killing people as heroes.

The only Superfriends I acknowledge are the ones with Ted Knight as the narrator. I liked Wendy and Marvin and Xan and Jana. I also liked the Legion of Doom episodes, but they were the dumbest supervillians.

Bewitched

R56 Were you a bothered and bewildered child?

The Adventures of Superman, with the real Superman, George Reeves.

Guiding Light

There were also a couple of programs aired by our local affiliate which were anthologies of other shows. Generally the first thing I watched in the morning was a show called 'Slam Bang Theatre,' hosted by local television personality Bill Camfield, aka 'Icky Twerp.' 'Slam Bang Theatre' was an hour's worth of old cartoons like the 'Screen Song' series ('Follow the Bouncing Ball'), Harman-Ising, Terrytoons, Famous Studios cartoons, and other odd offerings, like Ralph Bakshi's 'Mighty Heroes'. Each hour also featured a Three Stooges and/or a Little Rascals short.

The other aired from 12pm to 12:30, called 'Cartoon Carnival,' which featured older Warner cartoons, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, generally those made from 1935-1950. I always ate my lunch while watching these.

R60 Slam Bang Theater sounds like something Robin Byrd hosted on public access TV in NYC in the ‘80s.

'Slam Bang Theatre' came to an end in the early 1980s, not long after I graduated from high school. So did 'Cartoon Carnival.' A pity. I wish I'd had a VHS before they ended, in order to capture their openings and endings (the Youtube link is a poor version of the 'Slam Bang' intro, and as far as I can determine, no one preserved 'Cartoon Carnival' at all).

Jonny Quest (1964-65)

I was strangely attached to Race Bannon. Wonder why...

If I had been a little gayling at the height of a Blues Clues I would totally be crushing on Steve, and then his even cuter younger brother who took his place. And I will totally admit being well into my 40s and watching the Wild Kratt Brothers on Zoombomafoo always hoping they needed to get in the pool in their bathing suits with the manta rays or just amazed at how long and often the camera man seemed to lovingly linger on their large baskets in their khaki shorts or on their beefy thighs. They were both so daddy and each week my allegiance switch to which one was hotter.

For those not in the know, the Kratt Brothers, dorky, but also DILF hot.

The Addams Family

Video Village...yes, Im old

When I was a kid, TV did not exist.

The Little Rascals

Old movies and serials that ran on channels 5 and 9 in the 1960s: Flash Gordon and Blondie

"What's that on the road, a head?"

Those British sci-fi puppet shows .

The Robin Byrd Show

Did anyone mention Mr Roger's Neighborhood?

Every Saturday morning I was super excited for PeeWee’s Playhouse

[quote]I would totally be crushing on Steve...

Not I. In your pic, R64, he resembles Adam Lanza.

I'm so old that I remember The Flintstones as a reality show.

Sex In The City

The first cartoon that came to mind was The Smurfs (maybe the gayest cartoon of all time?). But I also loved Ducktales.

Born in 1963: Cartoons: From Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: Bugs Bunny, The Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn (hard to believe he was straight), Pepé Le Pew, Tweetie Pie, Sylvester

And then: The Flintstones (As a Little Queen I did a great impersonation of Ann Margrock). The Jetsons, Magilla Gorilla

Non-Cartoons: Reruns in the afternoons of Lost in Space, Batman (loved it when they were trapped!!), Please Don't eat the Daisies, The Munsters

Prime Time: The Brady Bunch. The Six Million Dollar Man

Men & Films

The Robin Byrd Show

Banana Splits!

I loved all the PBS shows but really loved this one. The theme song makes me tear up a bit.

"Peyton Place"

The Phyllis Diller Show.

I was 3 years old.
