Remember Adam 12? Also what was the name of that show about EMT's? I always called it "bee ba boo" because that was the sound they made at the beginning of each show ... Randolph Mantooth was one of the stars .. how can you forget a name like that??? Was it called Emergency?

CHIPS defined my childhood more than any other show! One of the coolest theme songs of all times and the opening video was awesome! I remember watching CHIPS as a child and and thinking that LA was the coolest place on Earth. Those LA freeways and some cool looking cops on motorcycles, who would not want to live in that dreamland? This show sold the California lifestyle to the world. Good memories!

Great topic!

When I saw Mr Wizards World for the first time on youtube, my jaw hit the floor, I couldnt believe. I sat there stunned....hard to believe. It was the first time I had seen the intro since being a kid in the 80's.

I think it was on at 6:30??

Remember the trick where you put your arms in a doorway, press against the sides for 30 seconds, and then step out and your arms fly upward? That was incredibly cool, I still remember it to this day. His show was amazing. He impacted alot of lives.

I'd say, top 5 shows that defined my childhood...

Mr Wizards World
Little Rascals
GI Joe cartoon
Inspector Gadget
Muppet Babies!

I couldn't believe it when I saw muppet babies clips on youtube, that show was great. I loved the opening song and the closing, animals go bye bye..

Other shows,

Press Your Luck
Land of the Lost
Chilly Willy
Alf
Scooby Doo
A Team
