TV Memories

TV is a big part of modern culture. Especially in the more developed countries.
I can relate eras of my life to the run of specific TV shows, and when I see reruns of some of those old shows, memories spark.

What were some of the 1st TV shows you watched?

For me (I'm no whippersnapper), some are:
The A-Team
Night Rider
The Smurfs
Donahue
Ripley's Believe It Or Not
Amazing Stories
Different Strokes

I loved Pufnstuf when I was a tyke. Later I found out it used to freak out my brother. I've heard some other people say it spooked them, too. I always loved it though, as far as I recall.

I adored the Banana Splits show. Seems to be the one show that I mention that NO ONE remembers. I find myself singing the theme song in my head when I'm really bored.

h.r. pufnstuf is a goddamn acid nightmare.

the earliest show I remember watching was called something like magic roller coaster maybe? anyone remember that? google isn't helping.

Dude, the reason I don't have any memories is because I was too busy watching TV growing up.

The Great Space Coaster!
Loved that one. Used to watch it every morning before school
Good times

My girlfriend sings the theme song to the smurfs when she gets bored

holy shit! that is exactly it. I don't think I've seen that since I was 3.

Thank you!! I remembered a show with a character called Gary Gnu, but until I looked up that show just now I could not remember which one it was!

look it up on youtube! I forgot that I'd forgotten this stuff.

There was a time I would have sold my soul for a Banana Splits buggy.

SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT!


Dr Who. Man from Atlantis also springs to mind for some reason.

Really,before Google and Youtube, how did we survive?

The shows I remember the most are the ones I watched with my grandmother.

Wheel of Fortune
Magnum, PI
Jake and the Fat Man
Bonanza
The Rifleman

The first kids show I can remember are Sesame Street, and the painter guy on PBS that drew space landscapes on orange paper.

This was my line-up watching TV with my grandma when I was little:







Ahhh, daytime and re-run television.

picture pages? anyone?

I used to love that.

Will you ever learn to lighten up, Cousin Larry Appleyton?



Ghostwriter!
Word.

I also loved Head of the Class and Square One TV, but I didn't want to be all YouTube, YouTube, Youtube, Youtube.

I remember ALL of those shows!!........now I feel old.

I used to love The Equalizer, with Edward Woodward.

Now, I think I just loved its kick-ass opening:

What a trip.
