The other night we were watching this show about the "100 best cartoons" (or something similar). Also recently, I received a random PM from a VBer, noting the awesomeness of my avatar. So, as I think back to the TV fun of my childhood, share your thoughts here too.
and...
(it's okay if you still watch them
)
Faves for me:
Sesame Street, of course - the paragon of children's programming
The Letter People - ran mostly in the Midwest I think, had a bitchin' theme song
Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings - a BBC import that played on PBS
Underdog - now I gag at the misogyny inherent in the show, but I was a kid...
A bit later, it was:
Schoolhouse Rock - I have a CD even now.
Superfriends - all the flavors, even the stupid Marvin and Wendy episodes
Johnny Quest - oh, the political incorrectness, heh, but there were great monsters
As a grownup, I still watched Sesame Street sometimes on the hard days.
One of my nanny charges got me hooked on Pinky and the Brain too.
I tried to watch some kids TV a couple of Saturdays ago, here in the UK...it wasn't pretty.
