30 Days of TV: More than meets the eye.

Day 13 - Favorite childhood show

I missed posting this yesterday thanks to the aforementioned chronic health condition; in fact, it's kicking my ass right now. Dizzy spells, pain, and nausea != good times, by the way, but at least the Internet is a fascinating place and can provide some distraction.

Much like in my response to "favorite show ever," I can't tell you one show I watched as a lass that is inarguably my favorite ever. Instead, I'm going to list the several I favored between the ages of 4-13ish. Also, I'm interpreting this as "favorite shows as a child" rather than "favorite shows meant for children while a child":

Animaniacs
Batman: The Animated Series
Count Duckula
Darkwing Duck
Doctor Who
GI Joe: A Real American Hero
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Inspector Gadget
My Little Pony
She-Ra: Princess of Power
Silverhawks
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The A-Team
The Pirates of Dark Water
The Transformers
X-Men

Sort of in-between childhood and teenager-dom, I would add Quantum Leap, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine as favorite programs.

I'm probably forgetting shows that should be on this list, and I'm consciously leaving off Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street because I don't remember them so well.


As for Quixote? He's spent a long time arguing among Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, The A-Team, Buck Rogers, and Doctor Who. So I've just made him list all of them. ;)
