GTKY: Favorite Show as a Kid

sparklingdiamond

What was your favorite show(s) when you were a kid?  We used to watch Rugrats and for some random reason I had the "Oodles the Talking Poodle" song pop into my head yesterday!

I LOVED the Rugrats! My mom hated that show—she said the kids always looked “scuzzy” LOL

I loved Full House, Family Matters, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Clarissa Explains it All. 

I also rmemeber popples, Rainbow Bright, Fraggle Rock, and Punky Brewster were on the top of my list!

I loved all the old school Nick and Disney shows.  Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold, Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens,

Oh yes I loved Clarissa Explains it All!  I was all about the Nick shows as well.

My brother and I were crazy for the X Men cartoon show. We also watched all the nickelodeon shows when we had cable, which we didn't have consistently.

Yes to all the Nick shows. When I was really little, David the Gnome and Mr. Rogers every day. I also remember watching Flipper after school with my dad. Punky Brewster was definitely my favorite after the Nick Jr. age was over.

@Dumbgurl04 I miss Doug! They have Doug's First Movie on my Netflix or Hulu (can't remember which) and I cried thinking I can't watch the series anymore lol. It was the one show my brother and I always watched together!

I loved full house!

I think I am the only person who has never watched Full House!

Yes to the Nick shows! I also likes TGIF with Step by Step. Gummi Bears was also fantastic.

Loved watching the afternoon line up of Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Rescue Rangers and Ducktales. We have been buying seasons of our favorite kid shows to share with baby when he gets older.

I forgot to post my FFWC- I never watched Full House as a kid either!! I think I’ve seen a couple episodes here and here over the years but never ever watched as a kid.

Hrm, tough question!  When I was very young, it was Fraggle Rock.  Then when I was around 10 I became obsessed with Rescue 911, and then as a teenager, It was Forever Knight.

@ngolimento OMG Rescue 911. I loved watching but it also scared the shit out of me. I was such a hypochondriac when I was a kid and the show gave me nightmares but I couldn’t stop watching it. 

pghren

Boy Meets World reruns!

I still to this day have a morbid fascination with medical shows.  I kick myself all the time for not pursuing a medical education.  My hubby refuses to watch the shows with me anymore because I freak him out by correctly guessing what is wrong with patients.

Kids Incorporated, Punky Brewster and Sweet Vally High were my jam.

When I was older, Saved by the Bell. My mom was pretty restrictive with what we could watch (especially when we were young), but I loved Saved by the Bell!

Omggg you're taking me back to the 90's...my fav place! lol.  I had so many favorite shows.  Pretty  much everything on SNICK: Ren & Stimpy, Are You Afraid of the Dark, All That, Roundhouse, GUTS.  Also loved Rugrats, Doug, Rocco's Modern Life, Hey Arnold. 

@frenchiekinplusone Yes! David the Gnome!  I loved it.  I also used to watch the old Inspector Gadget cartoon, which is now on Hulu I think, and DS really likes it, lol.

sparklingdiamond

I also liked the Amanda Show and Legends of the Hidden Temple.  I always wished I could be on that show!

psuxray07

@sparklingdiamond I watched Legends of the Hidden Temple, but also kinda didn't like it because I always though Old Mac (?) was so ugly haha

sparklingdiamond

I am always like why can they not figure out how to put that monkey together?!

riversdoctor

Another vote for legends of the hidden temple. I also loved boy meets world and step by step. 

Puddlewonderful

Boy meets world!! When I was in 5th grade I kept a journal on every episode and taped computer print out pictures of all the characters

This is such a fun thread!  @frenchiekinplusone, David the Gnome and Maya the Bee were awesome.  I was also really into the whole TGIF line up.  I watched Wishbone after school every day even though I was way too old to watch it.

I second duck tales, darkwing duck, the rescuers. Loved full house but if you watch it now it's terrible. However netflix has Fuller house that I love, it takes me back and makes me happy. When I was a teenager I watched Friends and the X-Files. X-Files also has a reboot coming in January.

@ngolimento I also watched rescue 911. I still remember an episode that a house caught fire from drier lint. Almost every time I do laundry I think of this episode. But I am terrified of house fires. 

psuxray07

Did anyone else watch Beetlejuice and the Muppet Babies after school?  lol
@ngolimento I lovvved Rescue 911.  I still remember several episodes.  I also think that's why I'm afraid of some of the things I am, like boat propellers and drains in pools, lol.

I also watched Unsolved Mysteries, I think it came on after Rescue 911.

frenchiekinplusone

@luna8433 I still remember a 911 episode about a kid who fell at the bottom of an escalator and his clothes got stuck in it; ensue horrifying nightmare. I STILL am so overly cautious getting on and off escalators purely because of that show. 

@sparklingdiamond omg the MONKEY. I used to practically yell at the tv because I couldn’t understand why the kids couldn’t figure that out or any of the other things in the temple. I wanted to be on that show so bad, I was so convinced I would win lol

keeksie84

@psuxray07 I watched Unsolved Mysteries too, even though it made me too scared to go to sleep most nights. Not sure why I kept watching...lol.

frenchiekinplusone

@keeksie84 I was terrified of Unsolved Mysteries. Just the intro music scared me so bad I’d have to quickly change the channel to avoid having nightmares that night!

i love this thread.

I was totally a Mary-Kate and Ashley kid. Anything and everything they did, I had, watched, and memorized. 

keeksie84

@sjn00, did you have their tapes?  Brother for sale? 

luna8433

I also loved unsolved mysteries. It scares my sisters but I love being spooked. The more real the better, if I watch a show that is fake that's supposed to be scary I just laugh throughout it. Example the ring.

psuxray07

I loved scary stuff, lol.  I've been watching horror movies since I was like 5-6.  

@luna8433 haha the ring scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.  The faces after they see her were so freaky!  

bchalm

All 90's shows were amazing. I loved Nickelodeon, especially Nick at Nite. I was such a night owl and loved the old shows!!

ftm_ohio

@keeksie84 I forgot about Wishbone!! That was awesome!!

@sjn00 I owned all the MK and A movies!!! Loved them!

sjn00

@keeksie84 oh yes, and was apart of their fan club. Everything haha! 

Puddlewonderful

Thanks @keeksie84 brother for sale is going to be stuck in my head all day now lol. Along with I am the cute one, she’s just my sister!
