Of course I used to watch Sesame Street & The Electric Company back in the seventies, but the very first show I remember watching was called Sunshine, kind of a hippie version of Little House on the Prairie, IIRC. Can't remember much about it at all, but then I was about three when I watched it. :hmm:

Nowadays I don't watch TV at all. Only DVD's. :nice:

Eureeka's Castle!

Oh GOOD GAWD...it was probably the original version of Captain Kangaroo. My parents made me watch it so I would learn to speak English.

Watched willingly......Happy Days.


Watched not so willingly....Gunsmoke. It was my dad's favorite show.

Sesame Street and the Polka Dot Door.

I also remember seeing the Godfather when I was five. :eek3:

Yeah Beatle, I hated Gunsmoke too. But the first show I remember is the same thing Zoot said.....Captain Kangaroo

Watched willingly......Happy Days.


Guess Beatle and I have one more thing in common. Cool new avatar BTW.

After Happy Days, it was Star Trek reruns...

Rocky and bullwinkle. Also, Mr. Roger's neighborhood

Bill Cosbey's Picture Pages!

Public Television Zoobalee Zoo, Reading Rainbow, Sesamee St., Mr. Rogers Cardigan

When I was older I LOVED She Ra, He Man, Dungeons and Dragons, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Bright

I was all over some Sat morn cartoons man LOL

I'd have to say Seasame Street and Electric Company as well as the hourglass of Days of Our Lives.

Yeah Beatle, I hated Gunsmoke too. But the first show I remember is the same thing Zoot said.....Captain Kangaroo

How could you guys not like Gunsmoke??? They ran a marathon on it one time on the Hallmark Channel and I watched it for 10 hours straight. (Okay...okay....I had a hangover! :rolleyes: )

A Flintstones cartoon.

I don't recall which one - but do remember Dino and Yaba-Daba-Doo.

I loved Gunsmoke. I used to watch it on Monday nights, and then Laugh-In. Lost in Space was my favorite, although now, I think it's totally stupid.

The first show I ever remember watching was Diver Dan (mid 60's). Anyone remember that one??? It was about a deep sea diver, and a bunch of talking fish. I think it was filmed in a fish tank with puppets and models.

Fraggle Rock, Dune(yeah a movie, I know), and David the Gnome,

Look around you.
There are many things to see,
that some would say could never be.

These things I know.
It's true and I will tell you so.
They are there to see, if you believe.
Trolls and wizards and fairy kings,
birds that talk and fish that sing.

And if your heart is true,
then you will find them too.
In every wish and dream and happy home,
you will find a kingdom of the Gnomes.

:) If you liked the Beatles, I'd think you were a long lost brother :eek3:

I was 6 at the time :p What 6 year old likes Gunsmoke????

Wanderly Wagon or Bosco, both Irish childrens TV series from the 70's and early 80's.
I also have memories of American shows on TV like that series with Donny and Marie Osmond (forget what it was called), Sesame Street and of coarse The Muppet Show.

Ahhh...the Smurfs were just too cute! I bought my kids all kinds of smurfy stuff.

I've always secretly rooted for Gargamel...

I was born in 1980, the first shows i remember watching, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Who's the Boss, The Love boat. (i was probably 4 or 5)
Later on i remember Mr. Wizard, Inspector Gadget, Thundercats, LA Law, Little House on the Prairie.

I used to watch Zoobalee Zoo when i was little, and then found it again on tv when i was in middle school at some god-awfully early time, so i'd watch it while getting ready for school.

That reminds me, Punkee Brewster, and the Sweet Pickles commercials, some sort of cards that came in a green box that was shaped like a..bus maybe?---it gets hazy.

I think i finally remembered the very earliest show i remember, Romper Room.

Off the top of my head:
Kids Incorporated
Hey Dude
All My Children (from 5th to 8th grade I stayed at my grandmothers during the summer who would watch it everyday, and every now and then I'd catch an episode, but never religiously...ahem)

Being an ancient Brit I remember Fireball XL5 and Space patrol but then we only had two channels in black and white. My best friend was the radio.

Anyone remember the Thunderbirds and Stingray!!!! They were the futuristic shows with puppets/marianettes. They were really cool, but you could always see the strings.

The effects were pretty damn good for their time.

I've found the little I saw of thunderbirds cool ...
Oh , and after the stuff for kids (liek the one I posted, stuff without dialogs and all...) I grew up watching japanese anime and even *shudders* Sentai (the jap original stuff is so much better than the western made counterparts, like the power rangers, which utterly lack the kitch quality of the genuine jap stuff )
this site (http://albatoraxor.online.fr/) gives a good Idea of what my televisual youth looked like .....
http://albatoraxor.online.fr/save/007/20030830121815.jpg <--- that guy rocked

I remember Space Patrol, too, and Sky King, My Friend Flicka, Roy Rogers, etc.

Well I suppose Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers were the first, but the first primetime show I remember watching was Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Well, I'm not certain which one came first but here they are:

Sesame Street
Mr. Rogers
My Little Ponys
Thundercats
Reading Rainbow

Beany and Cecil. (Yes, please hand me that walker...)

Clutch Cargo and Felix the Cat.
(Forget the walker...just ring for my nurse.)

But the first one I imprinted on was Love That Bob, about a confirmed bachelor/pin-up photographer...a happy fellow was he.

Felix the cat! The wonderful, wonderful cat! Felix the cat...

...you'll laugh so hard your sides will hurt, your heart will go pitter-pat,
watching Felix...the wonderful cat.


Now where's my bag of tricks?

DUH - Poindexter has it!

I have but one word for Poindexter, or Rock Bottom for that matter:



VAVOOM!!!

Being an ancient Brit I remember Fireball XL5 and Space patrol but then we only had two channels in black and white. My best friend was the radio.

Diver Dan, Supercar, Top Cat, Robin Hood... and yes, Fireball XL5!

The first thing I remember having seen on TV wasn't a show. It was JFK's funeral.

As far as shows go, I would have to say The Ed Sullivan Show. My mother loved it, so the whole family watched faithfully every week!

This, of course, did have its advantages - I definitely remember seeing The Beatles on there, among others!!!

Bonanaza
Walt Dinsey specials on Sunday night
Ed Sullivan

Sesame Street
first two movies I remember seeing were Alien and A Clockwork Orange

and I still sleep with a night light to this very day..:nice:

This, of course, did have its advantages - I definitely remember seeing The Beatles on there, among others!!!
- People generally have the idealized version in their minds with them singing I Wanna Hold Your Hand when they remember this, but unfortunately what I recall is Paul hamming up Besame Mucho ... :(

Three Stooges, I Love Lucy, Felix The Cat, Betty Boop

Bonanaza
Walt Dinsey specials on Sunday night
Ed Sullivan

I thought of some more:

Bewitched
The Dating Game
Dragnet
Family Affair
Green Acres
Gunsmoke
Jackie Gleason
Julia
Lassie
Lucy Show
Mission Impossible
Red Skelton Show
My Three Sons
and That Girl

Eureeka's Castle!


Spicey, salty, sour, sweet, bring us somthing good to eat!

My stupid sister useta watch that show and would cry if i changed it.

I remember watching He-man, Thundercats, and Voltron. Great shows. Still watch em.

Daytime - Sesame Street - Mr. Rogers, all that crap... Big time Brady Bunch fan.

Nightime, the Hulk! RIP Bruce Bixby

Mine would have to be the Polka dot door haha that was a clasic... Pokaroo!! :D :p

Fraggle Rock, Dune(yeah a movie, I know), and David the Gnome,

ohhh Fraggle Rock!! Wow.. I loved that show!

When I was 3 I know I watched the following:
Sesame Street
Electric Company
Days of our Lives
Dr. Who
The Tomorrow People (anyone else remember this?-kind of a British Sci-fi show)
There was another one I watched around 81 or 82 that I can't remember the name of. I think the name character's name was Rothko. I remember the characters all standing around, holding hands, chanting his name to try to contact him telepathically. I also remember Rothko teaching a kid? how to become telepathic by focusing on 1 or more white stones/eggs dropped into gorgeous blue water. There was also something to do with a maze. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Despite living in TX I seem to love British shows!

The first shows I remember watching are:
Buck Rogers In The 21st Century
The Greatest American Hero
CHIPs
Fantasy Island

I do indeed , I even remember the signature tune. The next phase of humanity. I only remember one of the stars Sammie Winmill who worked in a shop near where I worked - took me weeks to work out who she was!

As I recsll they lived in an underground laboratory with a computer which had ben sent there from the "Galactic federation" to provide guidance for first of the tomorrow people.

I remember Bewitched of all things. I remember thinking it would be a cartoon (from the intro) and I was rather disappointed, yet fascinated. I also recall Sesame Street, the Friendly Giant & Mr Dressup. (the letter being Canadian fare).
As an older child I recall watching CHIPS, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Quincy, Charlie's Angels and Donnie & Marie (hey I was 6 & didn't know any better)

The first show i think i saw was Sesame street.
Oh.. ya and i never heard gunsmoke. ? ? ?

Of course I used to watch Sesame Street & The Electric Company back in the seventies, but the very first show I remember watching was called Sunshine, kind of a hippie version of Little House on the Prairie, IIRC. Can't remember much about it at all, but then I was about three when I watched it. :hmm:

Nowadays I don't watch TV at all. Only DVD's. :nice:YOU BET YOUR LIFE with Groucho Marx as the host.

Hmmm ... the very first was remembering my mom exercising to the Jack LaLane show ... i must have been about 4

He is 90 now i think ... amazing
