What Was The First Television Series That You Got "Hooked" On As You Were Growing Up? (Lost, shows)

[PITTSTON2SARASOTA]

I thought that this may be an interesting thread because it gives insight into the type of shows that interest us as well as when and what era we grew up in.

For me there were basically three shows: STAR TREK, LOST IN SPACE and DARK SHADOWS.

Most posters are probably somewhat familar with the first two. DARK SHADOWS was basically a daily soap opera with a supernatural twist(very unique).

I see I lean towards science fiction and grew up in the late sixties; I remember rushing home from school to watch Dark Shadows every afternoon, it was very popular back when.


So what TV series did you first get hooked on??? .

I remember watching different things from time to time (I remember loving to watch reruns of My Friend Flicka....) but the first thing I remember watching regularly and looking forward to new episodes was probably The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family.......

Lost In Space, Batman, Dark Shadows.

The Cosby Show, The Fresh Prince, Married With Children, New York Undercover

I guess American Bandstand (the early years) doesnt count as a series, but my generation all rushed home from school to watch it every day.
