Whether we're now in our 20's or 70's or somewhere in between we all had favorite TV shows when we were younger.

What are some of yours?

I remember the television ad campaign for Bonanza, long before it arrived on our screens.
Tum-tiddle-um tiddle tum-tiddle-um BONANZA!
It worked, too - half the population were scratching their heads and waiting to find out what it meant.

I just switched off when the ad came on, and told nobody in particular to get on with it!

Huckleberry Hound. I used to have Huckleberry Hound wall paper in my bedroom, very embarrassing when I reached the age of 10!

I still like the cartoons of yesteryear, and I am over 30. Most of the newer ones aren't worth watching.

Live action: I can't pinpoint it down to one series.

Paulmallon, It dawned on me that you asked whether I preferred Ginger or Mary Ann was because you thought I was a guy. No harm, no foul!

Lesley, re post 15 - I know a quiz about that!

In addition to most of the ones mentioned here that were shown on British TV, I used to enjoy 'White Horses' and 'Tales from Europe'.

Mmm, I know a quiz about Watch with Mother - and a jolly good quiz it is too! :)

turbotude-you're right I guess I did, but somewhere within the Fun Trivia universe there are probably a couple of gals thinking that one over and that's cool.too

Well, Paul, I'm sure there ARE a few gals out there in the FT universe, weighing that question....for many different reasons. Maybe some of them are trying to decide which character they would most like to emulate. In my case, I would have combined the best qualities of each lady.....and what a BOMB I would've been! Ha cha cha!

I go through phases of favorite things, always have. Some of my favorite shows as a kid were:
Dragnet, MASH, all of the TGIF shows, almost any Hanna-Barbera cartoon,almost any Disney cartoon and most shows, and the Monkees. That's all off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more but I can't remember them.

Tom and Jerry (still laugh watching them; the expressions on Tom's face in particular are fantastic)

As a kid in the 60's, I really enjoyed a puppet show called 'Fireball XL-5'.... Brilliant!

SisterSeagull, I thought I was the only one who remembers Fireball XL-5! Wasn't that the greatest? I really liked the game shows, What's My Line and I've Got a Secret.

I was crazy about the show Dark Shadows. Now I see a new Dark Shadows movie is coming out directed by Tim Burton and starring (surprise, surprise) Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter.
