I am wanting to see the different people and generations on here, so everyone tells me what was your favourite/s TV show/s growing up?

    My first favorite was the Mickey Mouse Club. Along the way I liked Lost in Space, Beverly Hillbillies, Waltons, Monkees, Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island. And then the darker side, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Night Gallery.

        Oh my goodness I had so many, but I guess as a teen a couple of my favourites were The Waltons and Little House On The Prairie.

                There wasn't any TV around when I was growing up, but my children loved the cartoons that were on all Saturday morning once TV was first around for them and I used to have the whole neighbourhood in my house as we had one of the first TV's in the area. Bandstand was a favourite on Saturday evenings and Disney was on every Sunday evening [6pm]

                  Completed High School in 97. Favourite show : The Simpsons. Loved how each family member got back home to reach the family couch in front of their lounge room TV, as the opening intro! Also, around 1993, I taped from TV, Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back. Would often watch Luke Skywalker's training from Yoda scenes, after I got back from High School! Loved the battle scenes in the Cold Ice Planet located in the Hoth System! :-)

                                  We're talking back in the 60s here. TV was new around where we lived and I remember my parents bringing home our first TV. Didn't take long for us kids to get hooked on TV, even back then. The show I remember most was one called Bandstand where Australian and international bands would perform their songs. I loved it because I was really into music. I remember going out on to our front porch one day when it was on and dancing around. I can imagine what our neighbours thought lol.

                                      Bonanza, The Flintstones. Hogan’s Heroes. Star Trek, Peyton Place (very young when Peyton Place was on). Ha ha, my parents would send both my brother and me to bed, then when Peyton Place came on, I was allowed back out to watch it.

It was guaranteed to keep me awake, but when it ended The Twilight Zone could provide a scare or two.

I remember the "magic mirror," but she never saw me!!! I wonder why??? Oh, Adventure Time with Paul Shannon. That one was definitely from Pittsburgh, and also Chiller Theater on Saturday nights. Dad and I used to watch all of those dumb horror films from the 60's. They were pretty pathetic compared to horror films today, but I don't watch them today. They are too realistic!

It was a whole show on these animals on roller-skates, plus a couple of others(70's stuff),Adventure Island,groovy Ghoolies cartoon and of course Scooby Doo,and the Monkeys. Other than the The Goodies,Monkey Magic and The Kenny Everret Video show,and Countdown. Still love them!!!

There were so many shows I loved when I was growing up. I liked Thunderbirds, Lost in Space and another program (I can't remember what it was called) that featured a strange creature called Dorse. I also loved Scooby Doo, Funky Phantom, Josie and the Pussycats and all the superhero cartoons like Space Ghost and Herculoids.

I suppose "South park" and "Ren and Stimy" are good too.
