Shows that pretty much defined my childhood were


YouTube - 3-2-1 Contact

YouTube - Mr. Wizard's World

YouTube - "Note Passing" - Mickey Mouse Club Skit

YouTube - The Bloodhound Gang: The Case of the Thing in the Trunk Pt.1

YouTube - You Can't Do That On Television - Halloween (Part 1 of 3)

YouTube - WPWR Channel 50 - Romper Room & Friends (Part 1, 1981/1991)

YouTube - Old School Reading Rainbow Theme

YouTube - Punky Brewster Season 3 Intro

YouTube - Captain Kangaroo with Mr. Moose

YouTube - Silver Spoons - Season 1 Open (Version 2)

I was never a big fan of cartoons....though I do remember watching Smurfs, Scooby-Doo, He-Man and Care Bears.

The Weather Channel was also favorite of mine back then and one of the most popular commercials on the Weather Channel at the time was...
YouTube - Colombian Coffee Commercial - Cruise Ship

And for you few locals out there (CNY natives). Syracuse's own WSTM "Saturday Showboat" was a show I never missed. Too bad no one put it on youtube yet. Some interesting trivia.... "Saturday Showboat" was actually the longest running children’s program in the country.

Steve Austin, The 6 Million Dollar Man.
I'm kinda reliving my youth with the Bionic Woman, although it's kinda hard to picture myself as a woman.

You guys are old! I haven't even heard of half those shows.

My list is as follows:

He-Man (by the power of Grayskull, I have the power!)
Voltron
Thunder Cats (thunder thunder thunder thunder cats HOOOOOOOOOOO!)

I saw some of those shows as an adult and can't believe I ever watched that crap. Kids are stupid.
