Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Thomas and Friends Spongebob Ed Edd n' Eddy
Club Dorothée Passe-Partout Les chevaliers du Zodiac
As a kid.
As a teenager.
I didn't include The Simpsons since growing up in the 90s, that's a given.
Star Trek
The Waltons
Happy Days
Yes, I’m old!
Well these are the answers I'm hoping for! Thanks for sharing a window into an essential part of you and your youth!
How It's Made (with the witty British voice over)
Myth Busters
Big Bigger Biggest
I would lay in front of the Discovery Channel for hours while playing with Lego. Wouldn't you know it, I grew up to be an engineer!
You mean the a-a-r-d-v-a-r-k? Arthur?
I sure do ha
This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn't think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
Not because I'm so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny's place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn't really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it's really sad that I wasn't there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
Good Luck Charlie, Lab Rats, My Little Pony.
*somebody mentioned Duck Tales (80s version)... gah now I can't choose what to replace.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Deep Space Nine
Nova
Animaniacs
Gargoyles
Doctor Who (Classic)
Buffy
Stargate SG1
Rugrats
Shows from my youth I’ve watched with my kid: The Muppets Full House Animaniacs
Samurai Pizza Cats
Star Wars The Clone Wars
Power Rangers
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
Darkening Duck Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers And another one for Samurai Pizza Cats
Hilarious, because it appears as though none of you were alive in my youth... My parents were too damned smart to let me watch the "Boob Tube". Turns out they had wicked foresightedness - now you have hundreds of streams and almost all of it $hit.
So this is what I did see: Howdy Doody, only at my friend's house Captain Kangaroo which I could watch when I was sick That Was The Week That Was (TW3) which I could watch because it was intelligent, political satire.
I'm no worse for the deprivation, and probably better.
Yeah, you do seem great.
Cheers
Doug
X-Men
Fuck yea for Doug!
Sliders
The Tomorrow People
Family Ties
Honestly, I read a lot more than I watched tv. There are tons of books that shaped me, but I had to struggle to remember the shows that helped me along.
I imagine I'll ask about books in another post soon then, but it looks like it will be a tough one for you! In the meantime, you can think on it 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Buffy the vampire slayer
Friends
And Dinosaurs

Later on:
ReBoot! That brings back memories!
Tales from the Crypt
Monsters
Tales from the Darkside
Tales from the Crypt, what a throwback!
Avatar the last Airbender
Star Trek TNG
Lizzie McGuire Show
Only three is hard, probably:
Seinfeld, the last point is Seinfeld
Friends, Beverly Hills 90210, Seinfeld (and Big Bang Theory as young adult)
tell me you're mid 40's without telling me.
Three's Company
Pee-Wee's Playhouse
Beavis and Butt-head
MacGyver
The Secret City
Mr. Wizard
Great question. I could list dozens of shows that were favorites, or have special meaning to me, or that I watched the most, or ones that had a more longterm impact on who I am. But, specifically about impacting my world as a young person, I'll say these three.
Honorable mentions: Looney Tunes, Cheers, MASH, Family Ties, The Young Ones, Doctor Who, You Can't Do That on Television, Ren and Stimpy.
I appreciate the feedback. It's nice to think about these formative things sometimes. Glad you were able to dig deep for this one! Thanks for sharing!
Batman the animated series
Captain Future
Home Improvement
Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.
Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.
Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we'll never really stop pollution because super heros aren't real lol
Avatar the Last Airbender
Power rangers
Scooby doo
All from different eras of my childhood I think, some existing in more than one but I obsessed over all of them
In chronological order from kid to teen:
Scooby Doo
Duck Tails
The Wonder Years
Oh man these were on my list to narrow down from too! So good!
Hey Arnold
My So-Called Life
Captain Planet
