Day 13 - Favorite childhood show
Jun. 28th, 2010 09:43 amDay 13 - Favorite childhood show
This was surprisingly difficult to answer. I watched a fair amoutn of television as a child, but hardly ever as a true avid follower. And I wasn't allowed to watch much with substance or high dramaor adult themes, so mostly it was limited to cartoons and sitcoms. I know I watched The Cosby Show and Family Ties rather religously, but I'm reluctant to say they were my favorite just because it was convenient family viewing.
Some other TV shows that I loved as a kid were Fraggle Rock and The A-Team (haven't seen the movie yet! kind of want to...) and Highway to Heaven (mostly because it had Pa and Mr. Edwards). My parents watched Hart to Hart. I also recall being *fascinated* by Knight Rider when it first came out.
In high school, which I feel isn't quite truly childhood, there's no question my favorite TV show is a tie between MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation. I was IN LOVE with MacGyver, and had the biggest crush on Data. *g* Quatum Leap was always a great favorite, too.
But, I think, upon reflection, there is actually a true answer to this question. My favorite TV show as a child has to be Little House on the Prairie. I LOVED this show. Still do. I loved it so much I read all the books and built fantasies about it, read biographies, etc.
